I refer to all crackers as script kiddies. If only because it really REALLY pisses some of them off.

Well, by and large, even the majority of the 'pros' (like those working for spammers or phishers or whatnot) are script kiddies these days. Cracking has become such an automated process due to root kits and user stupidity that there's maybe only one in a thousand or less who has any real skill.

Probably the only exception to that are those in the employ of a military or espionage organization and your odd samurai (which is pretty much a cracker with a PI's license). The rations probably one in a hundred or one in fifty there.
