Ask HN: How did Lulzsec inject the Javascript redirect?

After noticing that the page loads first then redirects to the Lulzsec Twitter, then after after disabling javascript the redirect stopped... I was certain it was some sort of Javascript injection.

Then after looking at some comments from the the following HN story (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2778422) I saw that someone had posted the link to the injection script on pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/pWQtngDc

After reading through, I am still a little unclear on how it all works.

I may be a little thick, but I would love to have someone explain how the injection worked!

Thanks,

Wesley
