HackATack description by The Bart33:

Vendor: Readme for Hack´a´Tack 2000 (C) 2000 by Da SuckA and The Bart33 DISCLAIMER: We´re not responsible for what you do with this application & what the application causes. So whatever you do, do it at your own risk! DESCRIPTION: Hack´a´Tack is a remote administration utility for Windows 95/98. As we heard from some users, the server doesn´t work on NT, only the client does. Hack´a´Tack is made of two any file: Hack´a´Tack.exe & Server.exe. Hack´a´Tack.exe is the Client you´ve to run on your own computer. Server.exe must run on the computer you wanna connect to. Once opened, the Server copies itself into the windows directory & is launched on each start of windows. Features: Main Window: Establishing a connection You could say there are 3 ways to get an infected machine you can connect to. The easiest one is probably to click the Transmit IP button. Then you just have to wait a sec & soon you´ll see many infected computers in the list below. Double-click on the name you´re interested in. The second way, which will also find older Servers, is to use the scanner. Enter the Start-IP into the input field & click on the scan above button to start scanning. If the scanner found a machine its name will also be shown in the list below. The 3rd way to establish a connection can only be used, if you wanna get into a special computer. If you´ve infected a special user just get the present IP via ICQ or by another way, paste it into the IP-Address field & click on the connect button. FTP Transmit IP: Uploads your IP to an FTP-Server. When a Server is online, it downloads your IP from the FTP-Server & contacts your Client. You can see the computer name of the Server & its IP in the window below the Transmit IP button. To change the FTP-Server the Client transmits its IP to, click on the options button & choose FTP-Server Configurator. A new window will pop up, where all configurations made to be done. Check Freeze List (also under options) to freeze the whole FTP-List. Scan The Client has a integrated high-performance IP-Scanner. With the standard settings the Client scans 1 subnet in 3 2nds! With the two trackbars you can adjust the speed of the scanner up to 10 subnets per 2nd. But act carefully - the scanning speed depends on your connection. If it´s too slow or overloaded, your system will perhaps go down! The Options button: Change Username Just enter a new Username & hit the O.K. button to change it. Freeze List Check it to freeze the list of infected machines above. FTP-Server Configurator Choose it to change the FTP-Server the Client transmits its IP to. Server Password If you define up a password to the Server you´ve to enter it here before you can connect. Server Notificator When you add the name of a user to the notification list, Hack´a´Tack gives you a message when this user comes online. You can add a name by right-clicking on it or entering it by hand. You must enable the notification list by checking the box between Add & Delete! ATTENTION: You must have transmitted your ip to the FTP-Server to make the Notification work! Server Configurator This util lets you configurate the Server file on your local drive, not the Server on a machine that´s already infected. To open a file double-click the icon in the upper left corner. You may adjust everything you want & then click the O.K. button to save all changes to the file, which is in memory at the moment. If you define a password, you´ve to enter it next time you wanna connect to the infected machine. Right-click on the connect button to input it or click on the Options button & choose Server Password. Double-click the icon in the upper right corner the change the icon of the Server file. Lights left to the buttons: These lights show you how many people are connected to the server you´re connected to at the moment. You can talk to them with the clientchat. General Data: Gives you data about the compute
