Script kiddies lack, or are only developing, programming skills sufficient to understand the effects and side effects of their actions. As a result, they leave significant traces which lead to their detection, or directly attack companies which have detection and countermeasures already in place, or in some cases, leave automatic crash reporting turned on.<ref>{{cite web|author=Taylor, Josh |date=August 26, 2010|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/hackers-accidentally-give-microsoft-their-code/ |title=Hackers accidentally give Microsoft their code|publisher=ZDNet.com.au|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120160424/http://www.zdnet.com.au/hackers-accidentally-give-microsoft-their-code-339305548.htm?omnRef=NULL |archive-date=January 20, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Ms. Smith|date=August 28, 2010|url=http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/65571 |title=Error Reporting Oops: Microsoft, Meter Maids and Malicious Code|work=Privacy and Security Fanatic|publisher=[[Network World]]}}</ref>
 
Although script kiddie attacks might become increasingly more effective in the future, researchers have noted that other models, like the language model, can also be used to enhance protection against the improved script kiddie attacks. This continuous back and forth improvement suggests that the competition between cyber attackers and defenders will continue to increase.<ref>{{Citation |last1=Moskal |first1=Stephen |title=LLMs Killed the Script Kiddie: How Agents Supported by Large Language Models Change the Landscape of Network Threat Testing |date=2023-10-10 |url=http://arxiv.org/abs/2310.06936 |access-date=2024-02-29 |arxiv=2310.06936 |last2=Laney |first2=Sam |last3=Hemberg |first3=Erik |last4=O'Reilly |first4=Una-May}}</ref>
