This is not what I gathered from the written account, he's penned it as
some sort of multi-layered, nested approach to having friends.  I'll be
far less impressed if it transpires that its just a regular loop in any
old scripting language with a wget in the middle....

This isn't hacking at all. (at least not what I'd call it)
This is writing a script to go through myspace IDs (which happen to be
squential) issuing friend requests to every one of them.  To prevent
this, now myspace limits friend requests to a certain number per day.
Hope that covers it!

This is the supposed confession of the hacker http://fast.info/myspace/

I currently studying for CEH and just finished reading about XSS. So
this is of special interest.
