A person, normally someone who is not technologically sophisticated, who randomly seeks out a specific weakness over the Internet
in order to gain root access to a system without really understanding
what it is s/he is exploiting because the weakness was discovered by
someone else. A script kiddie is not looking to target specific
information or a specific company but rather uses knowledge of a
vulnerability to scan the entire Internet for a victim that possesses
that vulnerability.

Black Hats
A Black Hat Hacker is a hacker who "violates computer security for
little reason beyond maliciousness or for personal gain".
Black Hat Hackers form the stereotypical, illegal hacking groups often
portrayed in popular culture, and are "the epitome of all that the
public fears in a computer criminal".
Black Hat Hackers break into secure networks to destroy data or make
the network unusable for those who are authorized to use the network.
They choose their targets using a two-pronged process known as the
"pre-hacking stage."These people are cyber criminals and do most of the illegal things going on the internet..
