Script Kiddie Vulnerability Types

B.

Of the vulnerability types listed, the type of hacker known as a script kiddie would be MOST dangerous against unpatched exploitable Internet-facing services, which is option B.

A script kiddie is a term used to describe someone who uses pre-written scripts or tools to launch attacks against computer systems or networks, without having any real knowledge or understanding of the underlying technology or vulnerabilities they are exploiting.

Unpatched exploitable Internet-facing services are those services that are accessible over the Internet and have known vulnerabilities that have not been patched or updated. These services can include web servers, email servers, file transfer protocol (FTP) servers, and more. A script kiddie can easily find pre-written exploit scripts for these types of vulnerabilities on the internet and launch an attack against these systems.

Passwords written on the bottom of a keyboard, as listed in option A, could be a potential vulnerability, but it is unlikely that a script kiddie would be able to access the system physically to read the password.

Unencrypted backup tapes, as listed in option C, could also be a potential vulnerability, but it is unlikely that a script kiddie would have the resources or skills to access and extract data from the backup tapes.

Misplaced hardware tokens, as listed in option D, could be a potential vulnerability, but it is unlikely that a script kiddie would have the resources or knowledge to use the hardware token to access a system or network.

Therefore, the most dangerous vulnerability type for a script kiddie would be unpatched exploitable Internet-facing services. It is important for organizations to regularly patch and update their systems and services to protect against such attacks.
