Explanation by: Admin

A Script Kiddie is typically an inexperienced or amateur hacker who lacks the technical skills to create their own hacking tools.

  • Instead, they rely on pre-written scripts or programs developed by more skilled hackers to exploit vulnerabilities.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) describes a cybercriminal or black-hat hacker, not specifically a script kiddie.
  • (C) describes a hacktivist — someone hacking for political or social purposes.
  • (D) is incorrect because (B) is the accurate definition.
