5 Ways to hÀçk a Facebook
Account | Facebook hÀçking
1) Phishing :
The first and very basic way of
hÀçking Facebook accounts is via
Phishing. Phishing is actually
creating fake web pages to sâ Ă©ĂĄl
userâs credentials like
email,passwords ,phone no,etc.
DRAWBACK :
Users nowadays are aware of
these type of attacks and one can
not be easily fooled using this
attack. You need some social
engineering to trick someone.
â
Prevention :
Always check the page URL
before logging in. This is the
most trusted and effective way
one can use to avoid himself
from phishing.
Other way is to use some good
Antivirus software which will
warn you if you visit a harmful
phishing page.
Even if somehow you have
already entered your credentials
in a phisher, Immediately Change
your password.
2) Keylogging :
This is another good way of
hÀçking Facebook accounts. In
this type of attack a hÀçker
simply sends an infected file
having ********* in it to the
victim. If the victim executes that
file on his pc, whatever he types
will be mailed/ uploaded to
hÀçkerâs server. The advantage of
this attack is that the victim
wonât know that hÀçker is
getting every Bit of data he is
typing. Another big advantage is
that hÀçker will get passwords of
all the accounts used on that PC.
:
*********s are often detected as
threats by good antiviruses.
hÀçker must find a way to
protect it from antivirus.
Prevention :
Execute the file only if you trust
the sender.
Use online scanner such as
novirusthanks.o rg
Use good antivirus and update it
regularly .
3) Trojans/ backdoors :
This is an advanced level topic. It
consists of a server and a client.
In this type of attack the attacker
sends the infected server to the
victim. After execution the
infected server i.e. Trojan on the
victimâs PC opens a backdoor and
now the hÀçker can do whatever
he wants with the victimâs PC .
DRAWBACK :
Trojans are often detected as
threats by good antiviruses.
hÀçker must find a way to
protect it from antivirus.
Prevention :
Execute the file only if you trust
the sender.
Use online scanner such as
novirusthanks.o rg
Use good antivirus and update it
regularly .
4)Sniffing
It consists of sâ Ă©ĂĄling session in
progress. In this type of attack an
attacker makes connection with
server and client and relays
message between them, making
them believe that they are talking
to each other directly.
DRAWBACK :
If user is logged out then
attacker is also logged out and
the session is lost.
It is difficult to sniff on SSL
protected networks.
Prevention :
Always use SSL secured
connections.
Always keep a look at the url if
the http:// is not changed to
https:// it means that sniffing is
active on your network.
5)Social Engineering :
This method includes guessing
and fooling the clients to give
their own passwords. In this
type of attack, a hÀçker sends a
fake mail which is very
convincing and appealing and
asks the user for his password.
Answering the security questions
also lies under this category.
Drawback :
It is not easy to convince
someone to make him give his
password.
Guessing generally doesnât
always work ( Although if you
are lucky enough it may work!).
Prevention :
Never give your password to
anyone
Donât believe in any sort of emails
which asks for your password
6) Session Hijacking
In a session hijacking attack an
attacker sâ Ă©ĂĄls victims cookies,
cookies stores all the necessary
logging Information about oneâs
account, using this info an
attacker can easily hÀçk
anybodyâs account. If you get the
cookies of the Victim you can
hÀçk any account the Victim is
Logged into i.e. you can hÀçk
Facebook, Google, Yahoo.
Drawbacks :
You will be logged out when
user is logged out.
You will not get the password of
the userâs account.
Will not work if the user is using
HTTPS connections.
Prevention :
Always work on SSL secured
connections.
Always keep a look at the url if
the http:// is not changed to
https:// it means that sniffing is
active on your network.
