- james1239, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1To hack myspace First send a letter to passwordreseter@hotmail.co.uk, second within the Subject heading place the word "Password" (not in quotes but has to have a capital P) this way the automated bot recognizes what you are after. Then in the text field place the name of the person at myspace that you want to hack. No capital letters are to be put in this place. Then skip three (3) lines and place your own hotmail account information such as: "My login:My password" (a semicolon makes it easier for the bot to recognize). This way the bot can verify that your account actually exists. And then supplies you with the password for the person's account that you want it for. Here is an example:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  To: passwordreseter@hotmail.co.uk
  bcc:
  cc:
  Subject: Password
  login of the person you want to hack
  3 blank lines ---1
  --2
  --3
  yourlogin:yourpassword

welvis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Man, this could revolutionize MySpace suicides.
pilot3033, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Myspace=no digg
punch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dugg, his page is pretty awesome.
Slackwise, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Who ***** cares? Honestly.
atariby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1at least 47 people by the looks of things
gookie, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2okay...

now myspace profiles are not only UGLY anymore, thanks to this hack...they're BORING as well. That's progress.
nothingbut, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5"damn kids, with there myspace and there hula hoops!"

Damn adults who can't use the correct forms of their, there, and they're.
Xiol, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Myspace sucks! No digg.
thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4maybe he should spend less time h4xorzing myspace and more time making purevolume not run slower than me running.

lol jk
joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1here's a concept, design a webpage. you can do whatever you want, you can make your own terms of service/use ... and do pretty much whatever you feel like

hosting is only like $2.95 @ incaptive.com .. that's dirt cheap
ek3s, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'm sorry to say as I hate to admit that I have a myspace profile, I do agree that their UI is utter *****.
thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1maybe I could get a page so when anyone goes there they're browser has an error.

:-?

hmmm....
EricAnderton, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"Let's face it, the profiles on MySpace are UGGGLY."

This would be the understatement of the century. :)

"This code was tested in Safari, Firefox, and IE 6."

No offense intended, but I think it needs more testing. I get a nasty rendering error when I scoll back to the header area on the page. The 'hiding' of the myspace menu bar seems to be the culprit. Doesn't happen all the time, so it might be dependent on a particular style of advertisment or somesuch.

Also: I can't select any text on the page. IMO, it's not a clean hack if you cripple basic functionality like that.
wordupcousin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm sorry, if its against their terms of use, I am not going to do it. Im not spending hours editing a webpage only to have it deleted by some admin because it crossed some violation.
weareglass, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Myspace haters miss the point. Yes myspace is ugly and it can be annoying, but it's about the community. Sure, you get spam when you e-mail. Does that mean you stop using e-mail? No, you deal with it bumps and all because it can be a very useful way to communicate. Myspace is the same. This is a way to make your myspace page look less like ass, and flex some CSS skills in an inventive way. Why are you complaining?
thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1 maybe I sould get a profile and make it so when anyone goes there their browser has an error and crashes.

:-?

hmmm....

(I just got my coffee)
Shikkyn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I think the link is dead?
danielrh9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I agree that MySpace leaves a lot to be desired, but the author of this article realizes this and seeks to improve it. That's why this story gets my digg. And truly, a lot of you need to clean up and improve the intellectual quality of your comments. One of the problems I personally have with MySpace is the comments that are usually left on user pages. Digg comment pages are starting to greatly resemble those.
Shikkyn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Never mind, i got in. Just ANOTHER random hiccup with FIREFOX.
sems740, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0wow.. I had to integrate a database back-end to a flash site that his company, "neubix," designed at my last job. Worst. Coding. Ever.
DIGsox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Some people have too much time on their hands.
ephemerae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1*snicker*
ColdFusion.
*laughs his head off*
what a steaming pile...
thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0crap, this guy is really good. look through his portfolio and stuff.

@ericanderton

he just used a background image and a sort of css-made image map. i'm sure it was a lot easier since it doesn't really matter much.
cpawl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This was done by many before... http://www.timbenzinger.com/ was one of the best and because of all the attention it has gotten deleted by MySpace admins. Actually there is a soon to be website that will offer a free generator to do these things : http://www.myspaceface.com (looks like it's offline right now)

If you do plan on tweaking the profile the best thing to do is figure out a creative way to keep the ads up this way MySpace will be happy that the sponsors are there making them money.
javiel, on 07/08/2008, -6/+0I HATE MYSPACE!!!! MySpace = Lame. everyone and their mom has a myspace.
ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Another reason Myspace sucks... it uses Windows NT Server... no wonder it's so ***** slow.
TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Me thinks all the Digg users that are too cool for myspace really just are embarassed that they have no friends to fill a page with.
ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Me agrees with TimmyGUNZ... I have an account, with 67 real life friends... except maybe two who I have never met. I are COOLEST NERD! You nerds suck heh. Get some damn sunlight while you're at it.
cpawl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This was just a cheap way for him to promote purevolume.com --
kriegs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Love the guys at Neubix's work (the big noob is their company blog)
sems740, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Neubix's work is great until you have to integrate their buggy flash code with no error handling.
aonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I was expecting a real profile, the authors profile is just a image :(

btw:
"This post contains information that exploits MySpace "
--is that referring to the hiding of the ads?
GeneHACKman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Many people have been 'hacking' up their MySpace profiles since it began. Unfortunately, most of them shouldn't. MySpace is a testament to why most people should not be web designers.
tito13kfm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I hate MySpace as much as the next guy.

But Neubix Studio's has some serious talent in their design department. The entire page just seems to work, the colors complement each other very well, and the proportions are just right.

Dugg for the good looking blog.
aznboi04k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0it's just one big background image. not that great but still neat.
Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Can't you just get your own website? It's practically free anymore for a small page from one of the absurdly large hosts, or you can get one of those ukranian hosts for like, $1 a year or something asinine
isdereks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that profile is a giant background image. i hardly consider styling myspace.
quigles3000, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Not to brag, but I find my myspace page pretty darn sexy. http://www.myspace.com/quigles3000
nugget, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I had a myspace, but I had 12 year old lil girls hitting on me. It was starting to freak me out so that is when I just stuck to facebook. I've meet lots of people through facebook so I think I'll stick with that...
cpawl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://www.timbenzinger.com/ solution used actually CSS with DIV tags. It became an internet hit and then MySpace banned him (and it looks like they banned the use of DIV tags too). It completely baffles me how a company like MySpace who just got 300 million or whatever backing, has a billion members, and still has quite possibly the worst code on the internet.

NOTE TO MYSPACE: Take some of your freakin money and hire someone who knows what they are doing!

Just like the death of Friendster, with all the bandwidth issues, unbarable ad usage, and terrible terrible terrible code- MySpace is a clique that can only last so long. The MySpace "killer" is one that gives all the kiddies the same features but politely and with company care.
Sirfrummel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0holy crap, that looked pretty sweet. (keegan's myspace)
enforcerpsu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0owned. Digg
appidydafoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0MySpace's design blows because it was created that way from the beginning... what's the point of spending all this time with js, css & other random crap so you can polish a gigantic ***** turd? What a waste, and really... it doesn't even look very impressive in the end. undugg.
bigteebo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yes, how about a hack for Myspace that removes the "unexpected errors", the blank pages after posting in a community forum, and something that actually gets rid of the millions of faker accounts. Also, how about fixing those interfaces?

Notice you can 'add to favorites' on someones account even though they are already on your favorites? There's no "remove from favorites" it changes to. It's static. There's a handful of simple interface problems like that.
mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0MySpace is proof that people need strict aesthetic guidelines and shouldn't be left to their own devices.

And web pages that automatically play music need to be banned from the interweb computer machine entirely.
Odiumjunkie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Firstly, the profile is hardle "one big background image" - the hyperlinks work.

Secondly, submitting a cool hack to a social bookmarking site read by tens of thousands of people is _really_ stupid. This hack won't work tomorrow.
mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0The saddest thing about MySpace is causing so many little highschoolers to lie about their sexual orientation for fear of ostracision from their peers. You'd think that 100% of all highschoolers are "straight."

The scariest thing about MySpace is that it's a Wal-Mart for pedophiles.
mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0"Man, this could revolutionize MySpace suicides."

that's not cool man...
mattv, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0how can you hate myspace? do you hate having friends?

oh you don't have any?
my bad.
