The file "Master AOL 2.5" was listed as the last of the 13 files the hackers installed in the hacked AOL file library.

In the description of the first file, "Master D" described it as "a nifty tool most people know about" -- adding "there is more to it than you think so." Happy Hardcore, the author of AOL4Free, says hackers used the program as far back as 1995 to crash celebrity chats (including one involving the director of the movie "Hackers"!)

The proprietary AOL tool remained in the publicly-accessible download area for several areas -- bearing this description.
