From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're assuming "kiddies" means literal children, but no. It means skill level.
The problem with scripts kitties is that they'll only use pre-existing pen-testing tools, maybe those tools work maybe they don't, either way the script kiddie learns nothing.
To be a real hacker you need to bare minimum learn a programming language and seek to learn the interworkings of a computer.
Script kiddies tend to not even attempt to learn.
He has something in common with the "real programmers" in this sub then, disregarding an article and even calling the author ignorant because the thumbnail has some ...ascii art?
I'mma be honest, the thumbnail does fit the article pretty well...
Because they're both pretty wack. It's just restating the same talking points that have been around for decades. I was expecting something more original and technical because of the thumbnail.
Pretty disappointing.
