Seriously, doesn't Microsoft has anything better to do... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Berend-Jan Wever Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] A parent's primer to computer slang
M$ is informing the public about scriptkiddies: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidtalk.mspx but unfortunately, their information is incorrect: "Characters of similar appearance can be used to replace the letters they resemble." --> The only two words in 311715h written with a $ are M$ and Micro$oft. "sploitz" (short for exploits): Vulnerabilities in computer software used by hackers. --> A vulnerability is called a "vuln" and a tool (mostly a program or script) exploiting the vuln is called an exploit or "sploit".
