This is not a guide for aspiring hackers, but just a summary listing all the ways I will show different ways that are actually used to hack someone's Facebook, stealing access, password and spying on all private data inside . We often talk about this topic not because hacking Facebook is less difficult than violating far more important accounts such as that of managing money in the bank or that of Paypal, but because most people use Facebook in a careful way .
For this reason there is also no need to unleash the diabolical fantasy of a brilliant hacker to hack the account of someone who uses an easy-to-discover password or who leaves access open from a public computer.
For information, for the more curious, who will be able to look for more details on the various techniques and for those who do not believe that violating an account is easy, let's see here what are the most common ways used to hack a particular Facebook account and any account on internet in general.

1) Phishing technique
Phishing is always the most convenient, easiest and most effective method to hack a Facebook account or other sites even without having to be an IT expert.
There is a variety of ways to implement a phishing technique and it is all in the attacker's fantasy that he must create the deception in which to make the victim fall.
For example, you can ask, via email, to enter the password to confirm it by clicking on a link that leads to a fake Facebook page, identical to the original, but owned by us.
Once the victim sends the password, it will be ours and we will be able to enter his account.
By imagining sending such a phishing email to thousands of people, surely someone will fall for it.
2) Hack Facebook with a keylogger
The Keylogger is the easiest way to steal Facebook's password if you can use the victim's PC for at least a few minutes.
By installing a program that records all the keys like a keylogger, you can receive everything that you typed on the keyboard via email, including web account passwords.
3) Steal passwords from the victim's PC
The vast majority of people store passwords on their browser so they don't have to type them in every time.
Through a program that recovers the passwords saved on the browser, it is also possible to identify that of Facebook as well as other web accounts.
To protect yourself from this intrusion, in the meantime, you need to protect your PC account and let others use your computer safely.
Then it is better to use a browser like Chrome by logging into the Google account and asking, in the Chrome settings, that the various passwords are not stored on the browser, but on the Google account.
Evolution of this technique are those software that can be carried on USB stick, only to be inserted in the victim's computer to steal all the stored passwords and automatically send them to the hacker.
4) Hack the Facebook account with the session hijacking technique .
This is an already more technical method of which many guides can be found on Google.
This hack works if the victim's computer connects to Facebook from the same Wifi network that we are also using (at home or in the office).
Through a software it will then be possible to steal the Facebook access cookie from the victim's browser and use it to access.
This trick, however, only works if the victim accesses Facebook with an unsecured connection, i.e. without https.
However, since today the facebook.com site is protected with https for all, this method is unlikely to be successful.
One type of attack of this type had a certain spread in 2010 when it was possible to enter the Facebook accounts of others with the Firesheep extension, which worked to sniff Facebook passwords from PCs on the same wifi network.
5) Hijacking or spying on the smartphone
Millions of Facebook users log in via their mobile phone,
If we have the misfortune of having a friend with good skills (or who has become a fan of the Hacker Mr Robot TV series) who can open our mobile phone and take it in hand for a moment, to be able to install an espionage app like Mobile Spy, and Spy Phone Gold, able to record what the victim does and send all data via email.
6) DNS Spoofing
If the victim and the attacker are on the same network, the hacker can use a DNS spoofing attack and hijack the victim's connection, modifying the original Facebook page with a fake.
An example of this type of technique can also be obtained using an Android smartphone and redirecting the internet connection of the others connected to the network.
7) " Man in the middle " attack
Again, if the victim and the attacker are on the same LAN, a hacker can stand between the client and the server or act as a gateway to intercept all traffic, including passwords.
To learn more, I can refer to other articles on how to try to make hacker attacks on the LAN / Wifi network and on how to sniff the PC network and intercept internet traffic and passwords.
8) Botnet
Botnets computer networks used by very experienced and very well equipped hackers to infect as many PCs with malware as possible and thus steal information and passwords.
In this case it is precisely computer viruses and hacked accounts can be used for spamming, advertising or to infect other users.
Preventing someone from hacking our Facebook account is not impossible at all, you just have to be careful not to leave our devices that access the internet, PC and mobile phone unattended and take advantage of Facebook options to secure your account, simple but know.
