- 2014 July 5, Anderson Nascimento, “O que é um Lammer?”, in Canaltech[1], Brazil, archived from the original on 4 September 2025:
- Lammer ou Lamer é um termo utilizado para as pessoas que não possuem nenhum ou pouco conhecimento sobre hack e utilizam ferramentas desenvolvidas por outros para realizarem seus ataques. Conhecido atualmente também por "Script Kiddie", Lammer foi um termo depreciativo utilizado com maior frequência no final da década de 80 e durante os anos 90, atribuído àqueles que realizam ações na área da segurança da informação, mas não possuem conhecimento hábil e necessário para desenvolverem suas próprias ferramentas e executarem trabalhos profissionais.
