¶ ♻️ Strategy
Tips for using the card effectively:
- Play before strong Exploits if your protocol pool is empty or limited
- Combines well with high-impact Exploit cards that would normally be expensive
- Works as a setup support card; not a direct attacker
- Ideal in decks with few Protocol cards but many high-level Hacks/Exploits
¶ 🛠️ Technical Background
¶ 🧩 Definition
Script Kiddies (often called Orange Hats) are entry-level hackers who use pre-made tools and scripts to execute attacks, usually without deep understanding of how those tools work.
¶ ⚙️ How It Works
They rely on ready-made malware or hacking frameworks created by others. Their technical knowledge is limited, and they often copy attacks they've seen online.
¶ 🔎 Examples
- Using
Metasploitwithout knowing how payloads are crafted. - Launching
DDoSattacks with tools like LOIC. - Copy-pasting exploits from forums or GitHub.
¶ ⚠️ Risks / Importance
While often underestimated, Script Kiddies can still cause significant harm—especially if the tools they use are powerful. Many advanced hackers start their journey this way, making them unpredictable. Their future orientation (ethical vs. malicious) remains uncertain.
