(A Unique,) Script Kiddie vs. Elite Hacker

A script kiddie, also known as skiddie and skid for short, are individuals who use scripts or programs developed by a real hacker, to run a cheat into online or offline games, and to attack or break the computer systems and networks, without the proper understanding how the automated tools that they've used work. Most skids are an easy gamer whom learn to search the hacks of the games that they want to cheat, with the help of the Internet. Then, for the cause of what they've hearing, they're learning to search different kinds of hacks, especially a hack for a website, mostly a D^enial o^f S^ervice. Skiddies often used Leet or 1337, also known as Leet speak, substituting letters with numbers and symbols, abbreviating a word, and substituting word's suffix with another suffix or adding suffix to a word, just to notice the readers that they're a hacker. But in fact, they're not, they are just a script kiddie.

An elite hacker is used to describe the most skilled hackers depend on their classification or type, such as white hat or black hat. They are experts in the line of their work, and can find another different way to hack or to secure a computer system and network. They are an experienced programmer that can developed a computer program or system, depend on their classification. They sometimes use Leet speak too, substituting, abbreviating or short cutting, adding, and encrypting the words in hacker's slang, like a looser grammar and loose spelling, to avoid search engines from catching keywords on their websites and groups' news. Even though they're the skillful hackers whom originate the Leet, they just use it, only if it's needed because they (basically) do not want the other people to knew that they're a hacker.

Differences Between White and Black Hats

There are many specific types of hackers, and the popular two of those are a black hat and a white hat. A black hat hacker is (of course,) a hacker whom ignoring and does not care if they're violating the computer security of a system and network. For the cause of the results of what they have done, (how evil, stupidity, and harmful are them,) such as cracking, breaking, and making a computer system or network unusable for the intended users, they were called/named as a cracker. And not just that! They can also be sue and put to jail when they've caught with their victim. Instead they've use their knowledge on making their own decent business, they've used it to disturbed the business of the other. (What a pity!) Some of the computer systems of their victims are build within many days and not just a few days!

And a white hat hacker is someone that can hack or have a hacking knowledge, but they didn't using their skills (in computer) to harm the other person. And there's more! Most white hat hackers are basically knowledgeable on security, on how to secure the vulnerability of a computer system and network if it have. And that is there purpose why they do hacking, to study and to know exactly how to secure the leak of a computer system and network. Actually, most of them were hacking their own computer systems or the systems of their clients with the permissions of them, searching for a vulnerability, and study how to secure the bug. That's why they were titled as a computer security expert and ethical hacker. But there maybe some white hats that do hacks the computer system of the other person without a single permission, yet they do not damage it, just to increase their experience and securing ability.

Literal Meanings of Hacking and Security

Some people when they've heard about the word "hacker", thought that the kind of the person which pointing on what they've heard is a kind that can access to the user account of the other person without the permission of the account's owner. But if we want the deep meaning of hacker, it's not as just easy as like that! Because anyone who finds a weakness on computer systems and networks can be called as hacker. There are now many articles on the W^orld W^ide W^eb and online communities which teaches or have tutorials about hacking and security. Most hackers can do both of hacking and security.

The word "hacking" is an action, and the "hacker" is the doer of the action of hacking. Here, we will know what are the deep meaning and the importance of hacking. Many hacking communities on the Web has a forum category not just of "Hacking", but of “Hacking and Security”, with security.. Do you know why is it like that? Because, imagine that you've wanted to fix a thing 'cause it is not working. Of course, you will need to find the broken part of it, the cause why it's not working. It's the same thing as that category. It is hacking and security when it comes in computer security, because you will need to hack, to find the weakness of a computer system or network, for you to be able to fix it and increase its security very well.
