I’d say a script-kiddie can modify a script, but only if there’s some resource that says ‘change this part to do x’. They don’t understand why that change does what it does, though, or how to troubleshoot if it doesn’t actually do the thing.
Signed: config file kiddie - I just do what youtube or forum denizens tell me to do until it works. Imagine there’s script-kiddies out there that do something similar.
there’s some resource that says ‘change this part to do x’.
Arguably, this is just a different type of script.
I think the real separation is that while you might seek out a few different resources, or try a few alternatives to solve a problem, a “script-kiddie” is likely stuck if the first result in Google doesn’t solve the problem immediately.
