Not that I know of. In any event it sounds like
|
|
such activities would be illegal and petty. In addition
|
|
this question has nothing to do with Linux.

So, where do you idiots get my address and why do you
|

ask me these silly, irrelevant and juvenile questions?

Actually you could "access" AOL E-mail by sniffing any
|
|
network connection over which it was travelling. Of
|
|
course you'd have get access to said network segment
|
|
while the victim was access his or her e-mail.

|
|
You could probably also get it from the victim's
|
|
computer if you surrepticiously gained access to
|
|
that (it probably appears in temporary files and
|
|
possibly in removed/deleted file fragments.
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
Naturally you could send the victim a hacked up
|
|
"upgrade" to their AOL software and hope that
|
|
he or she is stupid enough to install it.
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
Then again you could walk into one of the AOL
|
|
offices and try to gain direct access to their
|
|
servers. That should be entertaining.

|
</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
If you actually try any of these moronic schemes
|
|
I hope you get promptly arrested and suffer a
|
|
humiliating time in the press.
