Re: myspace hack

[Chris Varenhorst <varenc () MIT EDU>]

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!

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