As we saw in my own first guide on Facebook hacking, it isn't an easy task. However, with the proper tools and skills, along with ingenuity and persistence, there is nothing beyond our capabilities.
Among the cardinal guidelines of hacking is: "EASILY can get physical usage of the computer... GAME More than!" This signifies that if I were given simply a few occasions to the machine itself even, I could hack anything I'd like from that computer--incorporating Facebook passwords.
Remember Me?
This hack relies after the known fact that almost all of us want websites to remember us when we return. We don't want to set up our account each time you want to access the website, so we tell the browser to "Remember me." For the reason that real way, we won't need to re-authenticate and offer our password, our bodies simply remembers it and it to the web site.
Of course, those passwords must be placed somewhere on our computer. The key is to learn where those passwords are placed and how exactly to crack the hashed passwords whenever we find them. For example, Mozilla retailers the users passwords at:
c:/Users/Username/AppData/Localized/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/**.default/cache2/entries
As possible below look at in the screenshot, I have shown that directory and password hashes from a House windows 7 computer system running Firefox 36. These are all of the saved passwords from various websites that Firefox has stored.
Note that the positioning of the passwords is in several places for each and every browser and sometimes in several places on different os's with the same web browser. Look for more upon this subject in my own Digital Forensics series soon.
Elcomsoft's Facebook Password Extraction Tool
Fortunately for us, there is a business in Russia called Elcomsoft.
The corporation employs first-rate cryptographers plus they develop and sell application to crack different password encryption schemes. (As a side note, a cryptographer from Elcomsoft was the earliest person prosecuted and arrested beneath the DCMA when he found the U.S. for a conference. He was acquitted eventually.)
Their software is posted as digital forensic equipment, however they can as easily be utilized for hacking purposes merely. Among their tools was used for the iCloud hack that revealed nude photographs of Jennifer Lawrence and other Hollywood stars in August 2014.
Elcomsoft developed a Home windows tool called Facebook Password Extractor (FPE, for brief) that extracts the user's Facebook password from its site on the user's program (the user will need to have applied the "Remember me" feature) and cracks it. Of lessons, we need physical usage of the system to get this done in most cases. Alternatively, if we are able to hack their system, we're able to upload this tool to the prospective system and then put it to use or we're able to simply download the user's browser password file and utilize this tool locally on our bodies.
You can download this free of charge tool from Elcomsoft's site, which officially supports the next web browsers (though it could focus on newer versions).
Microsoft WEB BROWSER (up to IE9)
Mozilla Firefox (up to Firefox 4)
Apple Safari (up to Safari 5)
Opera (up to Opera 11)
Google Chrome (up to Chrome 11)
The procedure of using this application is nearly idiot-proof. (Almost a requirement of Facebook hacking, wouldn't you agree?) You just install it on the machine whose Facebook password you intend to extract and it can everything else.
One of the disadvantages to using this device is that Elcomsoft unveiled it back 2011 and it is not updated since. Maybe we have to get this to a Python task for the Null Byte network soon?
Look for even more on Facebook hacking and producing the abilities and arts of a specialist hacker here in the longer term, my novice hackers!
