AOHack programs were add-on programs to America Online that violated their Terms of Service, performed illegal activities, and disrupted the service. These programs were sometimes referred to as Progz or Proggiez .

These programs, like AOHell (the first), were normally made in Visual Basic versions 3.0 and 4.0. Rare programs that were not distributed widely were made in Delphi or C plus plus. The Visual Basic AOHack programs often would use stolen code from other AOHack programs. The new programs would be only slightly modified by their creator.

With the eventual upgrades to the main AOL software, going from the simple AOL 2.5 to the now modern 9.0, AOL has been able to stay further ahead than the AOHack programmers. The warez rooms of the mid to late 1990s have all but vanished, and the AOHack programs have been relegated to the history of AOL. AOL has also moved away from its proprietary RAINMAN software and begun to focus more on the World Wide Web. As AOL grew in popularity and power, the private rooms used to distribute the programs (server,server2,etc.) became banned, and AOL employees under names such as CATWATCH01 helped eliminate much of these problems. The server and AOHack programs used to be popular and very dangerous to AOL, but have now been all but eliminated through careful programming and planning by AOL.
