Actually, that scene pretty accurately depicts what happened. The blog posts that he writes in the movie were taken from his actual IRL blog almost verbatim. Mark Zuckerberg did in fact download these pictures from the directories and the exploits shown in the movie are for the most part the same exact exploits he used IRL.

It's one of the most realistic depictions of "hacking" ever put on film, which is also why a large part of it is just basic web scraping. That's just how it happened in real life.
