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.... -----Original Message----- From: Chris Varenhorst [mailto:varenc () MIT EDU] Sent: 13 October 2005 14:31 To: Akash Cc: webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: Re: myspace hack 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! -Chris On Thu, 13 Oct 2005, Akash wrote:
