That's "leetspeak" for elite hackers. Most of these "l33t5" are the little dipshits who have nothing better to do than download scripts from real hacker sites and try to kick you off IRC servers. The real ambitious (sic) ones might try to hammer your mail or web server. Mom and Dad gave them a computer for their 14th birthday (in their room!) and DSL because some misinformed asshole said that computers help students learn more in less time. They actually believe that little Timmy is upstairs studying his little dick off. Whatever.
I've been told that these "script kiddies" do it because they're bored or because they seek a challenge. Bored? Go rake the fucking leaves. You want a challenge? Learn to work differential equations. There's nothing on my machines that you can use and it just pisses me off when you hammer it for 12 hours straight trying to get the root prompt that will never come. I have your IP and the IP of all the machines you connected to, and you're going to be grounded. No rave for you this weekend, punk.
One of these little bastards actually had the audacity to tell me at the local Linux Users Group meeting that "the information deserves to be free." What? Who do you think you are, one of the Memphis Four? No it doesn't. It's not yours, so piss off. You don't need it, because you can't balance a checkbook, let alone analyze projected growth figures.
I once had one of these dipshits log in to his shell account and begin spoofing other machines, then he tried to take out some machine on Undernet. After watching him for a few minutes, I canned his ass and a few of us drove to his parents' house with hardcopies of his escapades. Imagine his surprise to discover that he, a l33t h4x0r, had been caught. He was further surprised when his parents grounded his ass for the rest of the school year. We decided to call a friend on the police force to give him a good scare. His parents freaked, but a few hours in jail cooled him off. All this because some IRCop had klined him for being a mouth-breather. Dumbass.
Put that inquisitive mind to work. Study mathematics and physics. Learn to actually write decent code instead of that trash you try to throw at everyone's machines. Stay the fuck away from my servers!
