Not disgusting at all, it's even more obvious than mineral hack.
Using an undetectable maphack is disgusting. If someone was using that hack against me I'd just leave the game thinking my opponent is an 8yo kid giggling behind his screen.

And if it's a ladder game you don't even need to waste time explaining the admin what makes you think your opponent was hacking.

edit : oh wait did you use "disgusting" in its literal meaning ?

Hacks like this are sort of like the virus from the book "The Andromeda Strain"
They work on a few people and kill them right away but they're so fucking obvious that they go away after a very short amount of time.

This one was made by Jiggie@USEast. It exploits the command queue, basically SCBW has a limited queue of commands so you fill up the command queue with burrow commands (the hack does that, not you) say 256 burrow commands, then you cancel the extractor. But the cancel command doesn't fit on the command queue. However, the cancel button of the extractor refunds some minerals and creates a drone there immediately, yet the extractor was not destroyed because the command didn't fit onto the top of the queue, so SC continues to try to cancel the extractor. So minerals and drones continue to pour out of the extractor.

If you do it with canceling any other unit it will just generate minerals, but won't create drones. Only making and canceling an extractor creates the drones to the best of my knowledge.

And of course StarServer is going to detect and destroy any users of this hack ;D

But how did he control that many drones like he has unlimited selection?

LOOOOL! HAHAHAHAHAHA! That was hilarious...

But, why does he upgrade burrow? And harvest gas at all?

Edit: The funny part is to try to understand how the developer of this hack thought. "Well I think I will code a program that spitts out 100000 of Drones when your second extractor is 75% complete. That sounds about logical!".

He upgrades burrow because the burrow command is placed on the command queue, like I explained in the post just above yours. Siege mode and a couple other things work as well, I believe.
