If anyone started spamming whole groups of numbers, I can almost guarantee that they would get in trouble with their carrier. This program doesn't do anything ground breaking, it just puts a pretty gui over something 5 lines in a bash script could accomplish (much like the aircrack guis do).
I wrote the aircrack gui and I think it was the same reason as him. I just did it to learn a bit of python and PyQt. I released a script first, but so many people had trouble that i just decided to have a go at a GUI
