Thanks, Scott. I figured that these were what was being referred to. I just never heard them referred to as scripts kiddies before. karyn -----Original Message----- From: Scott Francis [mailto:scott@virtualis.com] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 3:01 PM To: Karyn Ulriksen Cc: 'nanog@merit.edu' Subject: Re: scripts kiddie sites Karyn Ulriksen wrote:

For my edjumacation, could someone clarify what a scripts kiddie source network as it's being bandied about here is? I can only *assume*, and I

to avoid doing that (not always successfully).

check rootshell.com, assorted BUGTRAQ postings, antionline.com, 2600.com, l0pht.com, cultdeadcow.com, etc. etc.and just start following links. CAVEAT: I am not saying that any of the above sites are exclusively script kiddie warehouses; however, I know from former experience that they are all good places to start if you're looking to crack some anonymous box somewhere. Most any well done Unix security site is. Please don't flame for either dissing a site you like or not including one that you think should be blackballed - this list was off the top of my head, and I haven't done any research on the subject in months. YMMV. -- Scott Francis ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK---- GCS/MC/>AT d--(?) s: a24 C++++ UBL++++$ P+++ L++@ E- W++(-) N+ o?
