Ultimate Stealer 1.0








In the early days of cybercrime tools (around 2009–2011), simple but effective Visual Basic programs dominated underground hacking forums. One of the most talked-about pieces of software from that era was Ultimate Stealer 1.0, created by a user known as Mr. White.

This small Windows application became infamous in Spanish-speaking hacking communities (especially on forums like Indetectables) because of its straightforward interface and dangerous functionality.

What Was Ultimate Stealer 1.0?
Ultimate Stealer V1.0 was a classic credential stealer (infostealer) written in Visual Basic 6. Its main purpose was to create a malicious executable (called a “stub” or “server”) that, once executed on a victim’s computer, would silently collect login credentials from popular programs and send them to the attacker’s email.

Here are the key features visible in its builder interface:

Gmail credential harvesting section (Usuario & Password fields)
Destination email field (where stolen logs were sent)
Supported targets included:
Firefox
Messenger (likely Windows Live Messenger)
Internet Explorer 8
No-IP (dynamic DNS accounts)
FileZilla (FTP client)
After configuring these options, the user clicked “Crear Server” (Create Server) to generate the malicious .exe file.

Here’s how the original builder interface looked:

How Did Ultimate Stealer 1.0 Work Technically?
The program used very primitive (by today’s standards) but effective methods:

It collected saved passwords and auto-login data from the selected applications.
Used Microsoft CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) to send emails directly through a Gmail account.
The attacker only needed to provide a throwaway Gmail address and password in the builder.
No advanced encryption, no C&C server, no web panel — just plain email delivery.
This made it extremely easy to use even for beginners, which is why it became popular in 2010 among script-kiddies.

Why Is Ultimate Stealer Considered Historical Malware in 2026?
Today (2026), the infostealer landscape has dramatically evolved:

Modern stealers like RedLine, Vidar, Raccoon, Lumma, Stealc and even newer ones like VVS Stealer use:
Webhook exfiltration (Discord/Telegram)
Browser wallet draining (crypto)
Clipboard hijacking
Real-time session hijacking
Heavy obfuscation (Pyarmor, etc.)
Malware-as-a-Service business model
Ultimate Stealer 1.0 represents the stone age of stealers — simple, noisy, email-based, and easily detected even by 2010 antivirus software (most samples showed 80%+ detection rate on VirusTotal back then).
