How I Hack Your Facebook By Stealing Your Cookies
We have already written several posts on hacking a facebook account and the article that sparked the most of the reader's interest was on "Hack A Facebook Account With ARP Poisoning". However, still as you can clearly see from the comments that there are lost of issues with the readers especially the beginners with replicating the process. So, I have recorded a video in which i will show you step by step how an attacker sitting on your local area network (Wifi) could steal your cookies and hack your facebook account. However, if you are sniffing on a LAN instead of WLAN, you would need to perform an ARP Spoofing attack.
Lan Sniffing - Core Concepts
- If you are sniffing on a local area network (LAN), first of all you should make sure that your Network card is in the promiscuous mode.
- Next up you should know the difference between a hub and a switch based network, in case of a hub based network a normal packet sniffer would do the job, however in case of a switch based network we would need to launch an attack called "ARP Poisoning attack" or "Man in the Middle attack" in order to route the victims traffic through us.
Monitor a Facebook Account from any where in the world
I have recorded a video, in which, i will show you how an attacker can sniff/capture http cookies for facebook, the two cookies that are important to us are c_user and xs, because they are facebook's authentication cookies.
