[TUTORIAL] How to social engineer Facebook accounts, [Pics]

So we all know that it is almost impossible to exploit Facebook for it's user database and etc. Since they have a ton of database entries and possibly hundreds of servers. Well today I am going to share my way of hacking Facebook accounts without Rating. If you reveal to the victim that you've hacked their account then they will be a bit surprised on how you did it, since they possibly won't know what social engineering is or how you do it. (Don't tell them).

First off, let me say this may not work and how it may work. Tutorials like this may have been discussed before, but please bear with me, I hope I cover some material those other tutorials did not.

You are gonna initially think googling "How to hack a Facebook account" will help you but it won't.

1) Get the victim's E-mail address. This is vital. You can say to them (if they don't hate you) to give them your E-mail so that you can send them some voucher coupon or ask them politely to sign up under your "ref" link. If they give you it send them some BS E-mail, or don't even bother. Or else under their profile info page you can see their info.

2) Once you have their E-mail, (I am going to use Yahoo for this tutorial). Let me clarify one thing. Of all the Facebook accounts I've hacked, I used Yahoo. If they don't have Yahoo I generally stay away from that since Yahoo is easy to do.

3) Go to http://yahoo.com and click "Sign In" on the upper right hand of the page. Click "I cannot access my account"

4) Choose "I forgot my password" OR "My account may have been compromised".

5) The next page will take you up to the question, "What is my yahoo ID". Of course, you should know this. Proceed by filling in the victim's yahoo E-mail. Ex: [email protected] Also, fill in the captcha.

6) The next step you will be prompted either to confirm via their alternative E-mail, or their phone number if they've put either of them. Do NOT choose either one of these, instead choose the option: "I cannot access any of the above"

7) Now you will have to answer at least 2 security questions. This is where the SE part comes in (later). First of all, you will POSSIBLY get an error saying come back in [insert time here] and then you can recover your account. I do not know any bypass for this so you will have to wait.

8) Now the questions are going to be really simple. An example is:

"Who is my best friend?"
"What is my niece's name?"
"What is my dog's name?"
"Who is my father?"

9) You will be probably not be able to answer the questions head on. Here are some tips (not instructions).

First talk to the victim, act casual. Say "hey john" (by the way talk to them on Facebook or any IM system). BS something like, "Lol, you have XBOX? I should come over so we can play." "btw do you have any dogs in your house because blah blah blah".

If you feel intimidated, talk to their BEST FRIEND, they are a RELIABLE source in information. Also, keep social engineering. Get to know the person first if you don't know them. Hacking their facebook should take 2-3 days. They won't suspect it could be you.

Once you get the answer to their (2) security questions, just login to their yahoo account and literally change the following:

Password
Security Question(s).

Reset their passwords via Facebook. When you get in their Facebook account, first thing is to take out their mobile number if any because they can easily reset it.


Well, I hope this guide helped somewhat and you get the job done. I will update this thread when I have more to add, but it took me awhile to make it, so please reply if you think it is good. It only takes (5) seconds.

Should this be in the SE section of HF? Idk this isnt a hacking TuT in my eyes
Yep I agree with ajtoadboy..
Message .
It's not hacking TUT it's another threat
Why does everyone keep writing the same TUT and calling it different. That has nothing to do with facebook. all you are doing is fishing for info for the yahoo account. Which if they are using that email for there facebook no shit your going to be able to rest the pw and take over any other site they use with that e-mail.
I am personally trying it..n its worked for me so much times..
Thats exactly what someone did with me.. I need to be more careful.
This should be in the "Human Manipulation and Social Engineering" section.
hello friend, I have problam in facebook.com, somebody made my sister's fake profile in facebook..He is using my sister's foto on his profile foto so how i know password of fake account?? pls if u know about it so pls reply to me....in hindi language....
Tabnabbing is easier than this IMO. (:
I don't understand why people use real info for there security questions..

What if they forget? And they are not hackers, just mindless in cyber space. So it is easy to pull the info from them.
this is nice method for begginer / newbie,but if you expert using metasploit is the best way :D
Cool social engineering technique though you forgot to mention:
When using SE for this try to look natural and smile(not in a creepy way obvious.).
Don't leave instanly after you've got the information.
P.S.-
