FACEBOOK account hacking - THE HACKERS APPROACH

There are various methods to hack facbook account password like Keyloggers, Phishing websites etc.. whereas bruteforcing, dictionary attacks, DDOS attack etc will not work directly due account lockout feature. Today i woulld like to share some information about facebook account using loopholes of facebook, when a hacker decides to hack , he usually dont want take risk, so that his first approach is from safe side , he choose to hack the account using some existed loop holes of site,

Warning: The Sole purpose of this article is to highlight the loophole in security. I am not responsible if you use it with malicious intentions and get caught..!!



METHOD 1 :

Its basic method, which most of hackers follow this approach by default ,Ofcourse they succeed .I  would say, Its a common sense approach that is password guessing method. To do this, hacker gather the the information using  e-mail address with several resources (like Google, gmail, facebook itself..). This gathered information helps guess the password. Actually this method is a big concept called social enginnering. This method some times easy and some times it becomes  difficult task, Only a typical hacker can do this easily.

METHOD 2:

If hacker failed to guess the  password(probably , hacker never get failed in method one.).He moves into option of recovery.specially for facebook , There is special account recovery method "trusted friends recovery". Before hacker moves to this approach , Hacker another chance to guess another thing , Its the "security question", Its easy to guess the security question rather guess the password. maximum of cases , get succeed at this step. the worst case he moved last approach "trusted friends recovery".

Hacking of Facebook Account with Trusted Friends is also not so simple. To get started with it, you have to create three fake Facebook accounts and make sure they are in friend list of the person whose facebook account you are going to hack. If you can make this happen then roll up your sleeves to begin the real action.

if the hacker dont know victims mail id , than he dont need it  , its enough if know user facebook profile URL.

for example : https://www.facebook.com/vinu.vinay

than the username will be vinu.vinay@facebook.com

he followed the following porcess :

1.Opening facebook.com

2.click on forgot password.

3. it will ask to identify the account.

  hacker may use the e-mail id or facebook userrname..

4. after account identifying , it will ask to comform the identity,  it will ask conform you identity by logging email service (either gmail or yahoo or some other service). if hacker know email password , then he clicks conform by logging into the system..

5.if the hacker dont know the mail password , than he clicked in the button "cant access no longer"


6. here , the server asks u to enter the an email (alternate) , than click button continue.

7.Now you will be prompted to Security question. If you know the answer then it is well and good otherwise, give wrong answers for three times.

8.Now after three unsuccessful attempts, it will ask you to recover your account with trusted friend feature. Click on Continue button.

here hacker need three accounts ( the hacker need three face book accounts which already friends of victims account. the hacker may create these three accounts, he sends the friend request to desired victim)



  • It will ask you to choose three friends. Select your created accounts from the list and click on Continue button each time.
  • After selecting three friends, Facebook will send security codes to the Email address associated with those fake accounts. Login to each account and fill the security codes in the same manner. Also check spam messages if it is not there.
  • Now you will get password Reset Email on Email Address that you have entered in 5th step (New Email address which doesn’t associated with any facebook account).
