AOL Password Stealer 1.0 description by publisher:

Vendor: ´This isn´t meant to be a stand-alone trojan. The target computer must already be running a trojan horse. Any trojan horse with decent options should be fine. The trojan must have a file explorer & a registry explorer. ***THE TARGET MUST BE USING VERSION 7.0 OF AOL.*** 1. Connect with your trojan horse of choice. Open up the file explorer & upload the AOL Password Takeer (AOL.exe) to any folder out of view on the target. Execute the uploaded AOL.exe. Delete the uploaded AOL.exe. 2. The target is now define for password retrieval. However, the target must reboot his/her computer before passwords may be retrieved. Use your trojan to reboot the server. Don´t worry if AOL is running on the target during restart as it doesn´t matter. Note: You could also wait for the target to manually reboot the pc. 3. Assuming the computer has rebooted, the real AOL has been overwrited with the password takeer file. Now, if AOL is launched by the target (Which he/she must do anyway to sign back online for you to retrieve the password) he/she´ll be prompted with a fake error from AOL & asked to type in his/her account name & password (Don´t worry, it isn´t cheesy like this text makes it sound). 4. After the target gives away his/her data, the fake AOL is then overwrited with the real one & launched so the target can sign online. The target should never see the fake error again (Unless you run the password takeer from step 1 again). 5. Now that the target has signed online, use your trojan horse to connect & open the registry explorer. Now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB & VBA Application SETTINGS\AOL\America online There should be 4 strings: (Default), Load, Password, & Screen Name. Ignore everything but Password & Screen Name. Yup, that is it.´
