You might be right, but somehow I cannot just believe a script kiddie would be able to launch an attack like this one as the basic ingredients to launch such an attack are probably not only the right software, but also some experience and some preperation. You indeed do not need to know a lot of networks, computer systems and/or programming languages to launch such an attack... but you do need to get the right ideas and you do need to get the right information. I might be very wrong.. but I think any psychological profile of the attacker would contain : 'extremely bright' and 'arrogant'
