: (([[THIS REALLY WORKS FOR AOL USERS:]])) : (1) If and ONLY IF you have AOL, send an E-mail to pwcracks@yahoo.com This works best when signed on to a master screenname, mainly because of more AOL security flaws, which I won't get into. Kids and younger "hax0rz", just get your parents to sign on with their screenname because you need to access "research info only available with a master screenname." Trust me, it works every time:) : (2) In the subject box type the screenname of the person whose password you wish to steal : (3) In the message box type the following: /cgi-bin/start?v703&login=passmachine&f=[password you used to sign on for the CURRENT session on AOL,with the brackets] &f=27586&javascript=ACTIVE&rsa> : (4)Send the e-mail with a file attatched _NO_ greater than 10 KB in size (i.e. "anything.txt") : (5) Wait 2-3 minutes and check your mail : (6) Read the message.-Where YOUR password was typed before, NOW, the password of the screenname in the subject box is there!!! : Why does this work? I'll tell you. When you send this e-mail, you are sending it through the AOL MAIL SERVER. It will not accept file attachments without a valid password. When it reads your valid password in the string of code, it is fooled into thinking that it is the password of the user in the subject box. But since AOL won't discard file attachments under a certain size (10 kilobytes), it returns the e-mail to you, accidently correcting the password. HAVE FUN!!! P.S. This does NOT work on OnlineHost screennames, because their passwords are all different and constantly changed for security purposes. *disclaimer*- i am not responsible if someone decides to exploit this error in AOL Mail Server, or for AOL being stupid.
