Hail Fragbait,
The less you know of this subject, the better off you are - my words of advice! While knowledge is power, the power can be misused by the wrong people so I don't feel your question is one that *should* be answered here on these forums, but since you asked, I'll attempt to define it in very generic terms:
Unscrupulous cheaters use a packet-sniffing program to find loopholes in the programming, usually based around movement of the items and their "buffered" state. Through these evil methods, they are able to do an "action" that you would normally do with an item (such as buying an item from the vender) to create a duplicate. Blizzard patches a method and all possible methods related to a particular dupe, and another one pops up. It's a menace and a tragedy and we can only hope that 1.1 will bring about a new age of dupe detection!
Why can't blizzard patch all the possible duping methods? I'm not sure, but as I stated above, 1.1 will hopefully change everything :D
