A script kiddie [1] hacks into a computer and goes out of its way to demonstrate its ignorance by doing stupid things like downloading a file, but being unable to locate it or downloading Windows Service Pack on what seems to be a *nix system.
Luckily, the hacked computer wasn't a real computer but a honey pot [2] and everything the script kiddie does is recorded for our amusement.
It's a bit like watching a bank robber sporting a big gun without knowing which way to point it.

- danielh 16y agoThat makes sense, as there was no attempt to run it. I guess one should be really careful before calling someones actions stupid. Lesson learned.
