In cybersecurity, a threat actor is an individual or an entity responsible for cyber incidents against the technical equipment of enterprises and users. How should you differentiate an attack by a script kiddie from that of a gray hat hacker?
a. Script kiddies construct efficient scripts to perform attacks to fulfill their own needs, whereas gray hat hackers construct scripts for attacking organizational competitors.
b. Script kiddies lack the technical knowledge to carry out attacks, so they hire a hacker to do it, whereas gray hat hackers violate computer security to fulfill their financial needs.
c. Script kiddies are hired to probe systems for weaknesses and then privately provide that information back to the organization, whereas gray hat hackers break into systems for ideological or political reasons.
d. Script kiddies use automated attack software created by other hackers for personal gain, whereas gray hat hackers create their own attack software to showcase vulnerabilities present in a system to the world.
