Session Hijacking And Cookie Stealing
Do you want to know how to hack Facebook accounts? Of course, you do. After all, most users have this desire at some point.
The first thing to know is that this is possible. It isn’t complicated, but isn’t as simple as you would expect. Keep in mind that you will need more time when performing this step for the first time.
You will need: Cain and Abel, Wireshark, and Add-on Cookie mannager. Also, use Firefox 3 or a newer version which supports Add-on Cookie mannager
- Step 1: Gain access to your network
This step is perfumed from the network control panel on your computer. If it doesn’t work, use Backtrack.
- Step 2: Open Cain
Run this software as an administrator (right click on the icon). Then go to configure tab and add the wireless or LAN adapter which is used on your own computer. After you are done, select sniffer option and the second button from the left.
After you are done, click on an empty box and then on + (blue) icon. Here you can see the devices which are available. Go to the bottom part of the software and click on APR icon.
- Step 3: Confirm
Once you are done with APR section, confirm the step and minimize the Cain software. Make sure it stays active in the background.
- Step 4: Open Wireshark (run as administrator)
Click on Capture/Interfaces. Here you will have to choose the correct interface which is used with the suitable Network. This is a great time to wait a couple of seconds and see the traffic being generated. It truly looks impressive
- Step 5: Filter the results
While the Wireshark is open, use filters to get the suitable values. Type http.cookie and select the files which start with the POST. This is an important point, simply because POST stands for data which has been sent to a targeted website, in this case, Facebook.
- Step 6: Obtain the cookies
Once again you can filter the results by typing Facebook. Then, you will be presented with the cookie-related files. Right-click on a file and export selected package file as a value. In other terms, this will copy the cookies, including the data you need.
- Step 7: Open Facebook
Now you will have to open the Facebook page. Open the Firefox cookie editor and replace the actual cookies with the cookies you have just obtained from the Wireshark and Cain. In addition, for domain type URL of Facebook. For the path, type ‘’/’’.
- Step 8: Refresh the page
Close the cookie editor and refresh the page. If you completed all tasks successfully, the page will refresh as you are logged in. If not, try with different cookies. Eventually, you will understand which cookies are the right ones to use and which one should be used in the first place.
