TOP TEN WAYS OF HACKING:
1. Phishing
It is the most popular attack vector used for hacking Facebook accounts. In this method, a hacker creates a fake login page which exactly looks like the real Facebook page and then asks victim to login into that page. Once the victim logs in through the fake page, the victim's "Email Address"is stored in to a text file.Always see the URL box if it looks suspicious then don't sign in.
eg : tweakskart.log.me.in
2. Keylogging
It is the easiest way to hack FB. A keylogger is basically a small program which once is installed on victims' computer will record every thing which victim types on his/her computer. The logs are then sent back to the attacker by either FTP or directly to hackers' email address.
prevention: Always download file after Scanning.
3. Stealers
Most of the people save the password in browser to access the facebook. Hacker can steal your data with pendrive.
prevention: Don't save your passwords in browser.
4. Session Hijacking
Session Hijacking can be often very dangerous if you are accessing Facebook on a http:// connection. In Session Hijacking attack, a hacker steals the victims' browser cookie which is used to authenticate a user on a website. Session hijacking is widely used on LANs.
prevention: Always use : https: "
5. Sidejacking With Firesheep
Sidejacking attack went common in late 2010. However it's still popular now a days, Firesheep is widely used to carry out sidejacking attacks, Firesheep only works when the attacker and victim is on the same WiFi network. A sidejacking attack is basically another name for http session hijacking but it's more targeted towards WiFi users.
6. Mobile Phone Hacking
Millions of Facebook users access Facebook through their mobile phones. In case the hacker gets access to the victims' mobile phone then he can probably gain access to his/her Facebook account. There are lot of Mobile Spying softwares used to monitor a Cellphone.
7. DNS Spoofing
If both the victim and attacker are on the same network, an attacker can use a DNS spoofing attack and change the original facebook.com page to his own fake page and hence can get access to victims facebook account.
8. Man In the Middle Attacks
If the victim and attacker are on the same LAN and on a switch based network, a hacker can place himself b/w the client and the server or he can also act as a default gateway and hence capturing all the traffic in between. ARP Poisoning which is the other name for man in the middle attacks, is a very broad topic and is beyond the scope of this article.
9. Botnets
Botnets are not commonly used for hacking Facebook accounts because of its high setup costs. They are used to carry more advanced attacks. A botnet is basically a collection of compromised computer. The infection process is same as the keylogging.
