You ever get sick of the internet anymore? Back in 1998-2003 I could literally just stay online for days. Pulling all nighters was easy. Jolt cola, hackers movie playing on the tube TV behind me. Log into any chat iXa, vb, phishy, cerver, island55, darkside, etc. You never knew what was going to happen that night. Were you getting pws'd? and spending your entire night.....

I found this old post from O0O of the old AOL-Files.com site posting this on DigitalGangster.com   Join Date:  Apr 2007Location:  NYCPosts:  1,428   its funny how 12-14 years later people remember things so much differently than what you remember. Many of the names here I haven't seen since bouncing around the PRs in the late `90s. Many of you remember the "leet" SN jackers/suspenders.....

Date 1997Founded Tang, LyriX and othersSubmitted By HypahSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive In 1997, people in macfilez saw Tang, LyriX, and others get 23 copies of the exact same screen name in one room. Quite simple, really…you would connect, block the SC token, enter a room, then disconnect and repeat. Each connection added the name to the room. AOL fixed this in private rooms first, then later, conference rooms. Then, entering.....

Accessing An Uploaded File Without It Being Released

Date 1997Founded HypahSubmitted By HypahSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive The “lib trick” was where you’d find the most recent mF token, then upload a file and through a very little scanning, could access that file with the token. It still works, but when it was new, you could access it by URL as well. AOL actually fixed the URL access because I was sending links to their german porn to american.....

Mac Chat Manipulation

Date 1996Founded UnknownSubmitted By HypahSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive Typing ]D or ]F on Mac AOL 2.7 or older would unlock null chars, including the return char, allowing you to fake others’ chat and what not. AOL slowly fixed this; as time passed, less and less manips worked. At the end, you could only send (return)l and (return)t right before they fixed it.

Date 2000 Founded Hypah Submitted By HypahSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive The indent trick originally allowed 12 char SNs on AOL 2.7 and presumably would have let 18 char names be made on new AOL’s. However, AOL started double-checking the length in June-July 2000 which is really gay because it prevented many AIMs from being converted on 2.7 as well as longer SNs being made.
