that section of the script is just generating a random number (two actually) that it’ll use to try and pull up a page.
Better read, is this a a loop of 500. In that loop there are 4 page accesses being attempted.
a modlog page at the first random index
a modlog page at the second random index
then a search for the second index
then another search for “fuck” + the second index number
so it uses your computer 500 times to access their page 4 different ways.
If anything, I undershot the estimate (their random number is sloppy, and will have collisions). But assuming they don’t have any collisions, they use your computer to ping dbzero0 2000 times

Not just ping, there is an amount of CPU and disk work being done in those requests.
