I believe that a script kiddie is a person who knows how to research readily available tools to control computer systems, networks, or websites - perhaps with evil intentions, but mostly to protect themselves. Most importantly, what's more hacking style than using a flip-flop phone to secretly communicate with like-minded people? Think about how many of us perform everyday tasks using tech tools. These tools serve as shortcuts for us, just like the scripts used by those criticized in the hacker community as script kiddies.
