Yeah my question is pretty easy, I've searched the internet and found nothing. But anyway my question, Is there a way to dial up into AOL without having to use there software. I'm really getting annoyed by AOLHELL and I thought if I could just make a normal dial up connection and not have to use there stupid software. Well I'm also reading about AOL protocol and seeing if I can make a proggy that does it but that's a last resort.
p.s.
Yes I know AOL is shitty but it's what I got.
Nope. They do all their authorization and such through the application. I haven 't heard of anyway to do that. Sorry.
Nice avatar!!
Yeah thanks for the props on the avatar..
I've been reading at AOL protocols it does seem possible to make a program to make but you need some of their .dll files and such, so you would at least have to install AOL for it work but you could maniplate the data so it looks like your logging on with their software. Hmmm... it would be better then nothing I guess.
Awhile back (3.0 or something) someone made a program called AOHell. That allowed you to dial up through AOL, use theri services, and not pay for it. About a week after it was released, someone made a trojan called AOHell. Most of the people that downloaded AOHell, got the trojan, not the service. I think AOL did patch the hole though. All I am saying is that it should be possible. It has been done before. But I wouldn't recommend looking for the old program.
knowing how aol is run by nazi's i think it should be possible =)
I could be completely off on this but...
Back in the day I used AOHELL (the AOL Hack). Basically it tricked AOL into thinking you were in the Account Options Section of AOL (which didn't incurr billable hours). It didn't mess with the dial up comm. sections I think...
THe only AOL hack like that I have heard of is the Telent thing over at [flame shield on] www.happyhacker.org [flame shield off]
[flameshield] does that mean whatever I say in here I won't get flamed? :P [/flameshield]
/me likes.
Crap man, where do you live? Must be pretty far away from civilization for AOL to be the only option.
Yeah Man I"m in Des Moines Iowa there is not alot out here. And the rates are outragious, even NetZero cost 20.00 . Well that's why I'm wondering if I can mess with it.
free0n: Dude, if you ever come across anything concerning how to do this tell me please. I'd give money for the info, hehe, because MSN will not allow dialing in now through Linux for soe reason, and I can't get online.
Ok no problem I will keep people informed if I find anything. So far I'm still reading about there protocol so it will take some time.
As far as getting into your local AOL servers, I'm clueless, but I do know that the AOL servers ping their users regularly(especially dial-up)...and if they ping an IP that isn't registered(one that hasn't authenticated)...well, you know what happens...BOOT! Your only recourse would be to steal an account...which is illegal. Sorry, but I feel your pain, as I am also an AOHell tool.(but not for much longer...damned landlord) And now that AOL has aquired ICQ(Mirabilis) and (that other company that I can't remember at the moment)...imagine the logfiles that they keep...dangerous ground, as they say...
Ouroboros
AOL learned there lesson form AOHell I would doubt that a similar loop hole still exist.
You know how to use a dial up connection don't you? Get the phone number(s) that are used to connect to AOL and write them down. Set up a dial up connection using your user name and password from AOL with that phone number. It's simple.

I have been in search of the same kind of code to dial without their dumb software. I have had no luck though. but for jehnx , you can use a program called rasspy, unfortunately this doesn't work for aol . You see when the msn client dials out, it changes the username and password to numbers. Rasspy catches these numbers so you can use dial up networking. Basicially from the command prompt you type rasspy.exe cmd = msn.exe (or whatever your msn clients name is). When msn dials out it captures the data.
Hope this helps yall.
Remote_: It's not that simple dude. Try it yourself, it won't work. I've been pondering with this crap for like a year now, and I have yet to get anything done.
I'm not sure if it works now but back in the day it werked.. like when AOL 3.0 was new. I haven't tried it recently cause I don't use AOL. There's another method of geting around it.. Get a new ISP. :D

Over the last few months I've heard from a few friends that AOL is raising online security, and there is active monitering on connections to their servers. But tapping AOL connections has become nearly immpossible. For example if you somehow gained access, if wouldnt last for long (eg. 1 hour) before they cracked down on you and severed the link.
Just what I know :airoff:
