Yeah !! the 'virtually invisible' part in the faq is bit intriguing... This
is perhaps just for a FUD..

Debasis,

it looks like the 'bot' simply automates the process in which friends are
invited, or at least thats what the FAQ seems to make one think:

"Q: Picture varification code comes up while adding friends why?
A: One of Myspace's new security features.  It pops up every once in a
while, just punch the numbers in and the program is good to keep going."

if this bot indeed exploited some sort of XSS hole, and propagated, or used
some sort of attack technique to automatically invite users without
acceptance of the target user -- then that'd be interesting to dissect.
however I do not think that is the case:

"Q: It stoped adding friends. What happened?
A: MySpace.com has limits in their site where you can only add so many at a
time. Try to stay under 450 per day and you sould be fine."

as for that 'virtually invisible' part, now I'd like to know what the author
of that site meant by that -- unless a second account is created to send the
invites from, and within the invites themselves contained the real user
seeking friends. *shrug*
