AOHack programs
Encyclopedia : A : AO : AOH : AOHack programs
AOHack programs were add-on programs to America Online that violated their Terms of Service, performed illegal activities, and disrupted the service. These programs were sometimes referred to as Progz or Proggiez.
These programs, like AOHell (the first), were normally made in Visual Basic versions 3.0 and 4.0. Rare programs that were not distributed widely were made in Delphi or C++. The Visual Basic AOHack programs often would use stolen code from other AOHack programs. The new programs would be only slightly modified by their creator.
These programmers largely were used to distribute pirated software, called warez, to scroll macros, and to phish for passwords and credit card numbers. They had generally the same features as AOHell, such as scrolling chat rooms, and [leet] text conversion.

Associated Private Rooms
During the period of increased popularity surrounding these programs, many private rooms on the AOL service were established and inhabited by program traders, and, in many cases, the programmers themselves. These rooms served many purposes and often became think tanks for new features in future programs.External links
