This post is only for security
purpose don’t try any illigal activity and
i’m just shared these methods because
protect our facebook account from these
types of hacking attacks.
1) Hack Facebook Account Password By
Phishing:
Phishing is still the most popular attack
vector used for hacking Facebook
accounts. There are variety methods to
carry out phishing attack. In a simple
phishing attacks a hacker creates a fake
log in page which exactly looks like the
real Facebook page and then asks the
victim to log in. Once the victim log in
through the fake page the, the victims
“Email Address” and “Password” is
stored in to a text file, and the hacker
then downloads the text file and gets his
hands on the victims credentials.
2) Hack Facebook Account password by
Keylogging :
Keylogging is the easiest way to hack a
Facebook password. Keylogging
sometimes can be so dangerous that
even a person with good knowledge of
computers can fall for it. A Keylogger is
basically a small program which, once is
installed on victim’s computer, will
record every thing victim types on his/
her computer. The logs are then send
back to the attacker by either FTP or
directly to hackers email address.
3) Stealer’s :
Almost 80% percent people use stored
passwords in their browser to access the
Facebook. This is quite convenient, but
can sometimes be extremely dangerous.
Stealer’s are software’s specially
designed to capture the saved passwords
stored in the victims Internet browser.
4) Hack Facebook Account
Password By Session Hijacking :
dangerous if you are accessing Facebook
on a http (non secure) connection. In
Session Hijacking attack, a hacker steals
the victims browser cookie which is
used to authenticate the user on a
website, and use it to access the victims
account. Session hijacking is widely
used on LAN, and WiFi connection.
5) Sidejacking With Firesheep :
Sidejacking attack went common in late
2010, however it’s still popular now a
days. Firesheep is widely used to carry
out sidejacking attacks. Firesheep only
works when the attacker and victim is
on the same WiFi network. A sidejacking
attack is basically another name for http
session hijacking, but it’s more targeted
towards WiFi users.
6) Mobile Phone Hacking :
millions of Facebook users access
Facebook through their mobile phones.
In case the hacker can gain access to the
victims mobile phone then he can
probably gain access to his/her Facebook
account. Their are a lots of Mobile
Spying software’s used to monitor a
Cellphone. The most popular Mobile
Phone Spying software’s are: Mobile
Spy, and Spy Phone Gold.
7) DNS Spoofing :
If both the victim and attacker are on
the same network, an attacker can use a
DNS spoofing attack and change the
original Facebook page to his own fake
page and hence can get access to victims
Facebook account.
8)USB Hacking :
If an attacker has physical access to
your computer, he could just insert a
USB programmed with a function to
automatically extract saved passwords
in the Internet browser.
9) Man In the Middle Attacks :
If the victim and attacker are on the
same LAN and on a switch based
network, a hacker can place himself
between the client and the server, or he
could act as a default gateway and hence
capturing all the traffic in between.
10) Botnets :
Botnets are not commonly used for
hacking Facebook accounts, because of
it’s high setup costs. They are used to
carry more advanced attacks. A Botnet
is basically a collection of compromised
computer. The infection process is same
as the key logging, however a Botnet
gives you additional options for carrying
out attacks with the compromised
computer. Some of the most popular
Botnets include Spy eye and zeus.
