This was a huge discovery for PC AOLers. Up until this point PCers were unable to do the things Mac hax0rs were able to with their version of the Star Tool, called Utilities. The Star tool for 16 bit AOL clients came with a limited Atomic Debugger and an invoker for f1 tokens.

Within weeks of Mad Misery’s general release of the Star Tool, invoke scans were done and many private AOL staff areas were found leading to the discovery of VPD and Rainman tools for the PC. This was the beginning of PC token exploiting.
