M$ is informing the public about scriptkiddies: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidtalk.mspx but unfortunately, their information is incorrect: "Characters of similar appearance can be used to replace the letters they resemble." --> The only two words in 311715h written with a $ are M$ and Micro$oft. "sploitz" (short for exploits): Vulnerabilities in computer software used by hackers. --> A vulnerability is called a "vuln" and a tool (mostly a program or script) exploiting the vuln is called an exploit or "sploit".
