Script Kiddies - Term for persons that rely on programs/methods created by other person to cause annoyance on the internet. Real hackers hate script kiddies since they give them a bad reputation. Typical actions of a script kiddy would be defacing websites, hacking forum accounts.

Did you know that back in the age where they burned whoever was believed to be a witch, the term "fag" was used for a stick they would light on fire, which would be used to egnite the pile of sticks used for burning the eleged witch.

Cracking

Software cracking is the modification of software to remove encoded copy prevention.
Another type of cracking removes the trial period from shareware or trials making the product function as the full unlocked version. These cracks usually are programs that patch the program executable and sometimes the dlls.


Keylogger

Small programm wich trys to stay invisble and records keystrokes

Trojan

Trojan Horses are hidding spying programms wich contain functions such as a Packet sniffer or backdoor functions that allow a computer, unbeknownst to the owner, to be remotely controlled remotely from the network, creating a "zombie". Because Trojan horses often have these harmful functions, there often arises the misunderstanding that such functions define a Trojan Horse.

IP-Spoofing

Modifying a packets header to diguise your ip adress.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

It mostly detects attacks and itrusion attemps by comparing incoming packets with example patterns but there are also IDS's that use heuristic methods to detect unknown attack attemps. Also used to counter IP-Spoofing. Oftenly used in combination with a firewall.

Firewall (Hardware)

Network layer firewalls operate at a (relatively low) level of the TCP/IP protocol stack as IP-packet filters, not allowing packets to pass through the firewall unless they match the rules. The firewall administrator may define the rules; or default built-in rules may apply (as in some inflexible firewall systems).

Modern firewalls can filter traffic based on many packet attributes like source IP, source port, destination IP or port, destination service like WWW or FTP. They can filter based on protocols, TTL values, netblock of originator, domain name of the source, and many other attributes.

Firewall (Software)

Application-layer firewalls work on the application level of the TCP/IP stack (i.e., all browser traffic, or all telnet or ftp traffic), and may intercept all packets traveling to or from an application. They block other packets (usually dropping them without acknowledgement to the sender). In principle, application firewalls can prevent all unwanted outside traffic from reaching protected machines.

By inspecting all packets for improper content, firewalls can even prevent the spread of the likes of viruses. In practice, however, this becomes so complex and so difficult to attempt (given the variety of applications and the diversity of content each may allow in its packet traffic) that comprehensive firewall design does not generally attempt this approach.


Blue Screen

Microsofts error screen to descripe a critical problem with last memory actions listed that may caused the crash. Named after the blue background color.

yeah I´ve stolen  the firewall part from wikipedia cuz my english failed ;p
