How to hack a Facebook account ? This is a question that many are asking. Whether it's to find out if a spouse is faithful or if a friend is sincere, there are many excuses to hack a Facebook account.
However, it is important to know that most of the hacking methods promoted online are scams. Indeed, Google search results on this issue can often lead to scammers. The latter claim to be able to obtain the password of a Facebook account in a few seconds.

Looking at the image above, it is clear that all links displayed in Google search results are accompanied by icons WOT in red color. This means that these links are considered dangerous.
Beware of sites that promise to hack a Facebook account
On the first page of Google search results, you can find:
- Sites that ask you to pay to access a Facebook account you want to hack.
A fraudulent site - Turnkey fraudulent sites that ask you for a victim's Facebook profile address and your own password.
- Sites that trick you into downloading supposedly magical software that would allow you to access passwords to all users' Facebook accounts. These downloads can often include hidden malware.
Avoid these malicious sites
It is true that there are many scams online. Unfortunately, these sites that claim to be able to hack a Facebook account are just false hopes. These apps are designed to steal your personal information, like your passwords or banking information, or to infect your computer with malware.
The hackers who create these sites do not hesitate to take advantage of your vulnerability to extort money from you. They know that you are willing to spend large sums to gain access to a particular Facebook account and use social engineering techniques to convince you to use their script.
It is important not to fall for the traps of online scams that promise to hack Facebook accounts anonymously and for free.

These pages often contain misleading phrases and unfulfillable promises, such as:
- Recovery and decoding of MD5 hashed passwords by professionals.
- The use of a unique software and which would have discovered a flaw allowing to hack any Facebook account.
Is it possible to hack Facebook in two seconds?

A little logic please! Is it really possible to believe that a social network as popular and important as Facebook, which manages the data of more than a billion users, can be hacked in seconds?
Facebook has a dedicated computer security team called "Computer Emergency Response Team", which regularly receives information about leaks and potential attacks. It is therefore unlikely that a simple software or script will be able to hack Facebook's servers.
It's important to remember that if hacking Facebook was easy, Meta would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. To hack a single account would require hacking the entire Facebook database. This is almost impossible even for professionals.
So how do you hack a Facebook account?
Direct hacking software does not exist. In no case will there be a miracle that will make you hack a person.
It is true that 100% computer security does not exist, but for to hack a Facebook account, must be patient and intelligent. If you want specialized tools, you can for example orient yourself towards Kali Linux.
However, in this article, we are going to share with you 6 methods that security professionals use to identify vulnerabilities in a system.
1) Installation of a keylogger on the victim's PC
The keylogging technique consists of installing malicious software on the victim's computer, which records everything that is typed on the keyboard, such as passwords and banking information.
There are also hardware keyloggers, which are physical devices that can be attached to the keyboard, cable, or computer system, making it easy to hack a Facebook account.
For more information on keyloggers, I invite you to read this article: Keyloggers: operation, use and protection.

2) Use of Phishing coupled with DNS Spofing
Le Phishing is a technique that involves creating a copy of a login page, such as Facebook's, and hosting it on a server. The link to this copy is then sent to the victim via email, Messenger or SMS.
When the victim logs into this page, the login credentials are stolen and used to hack into their Facebook account.
This technique has the disadvantage that the victim has to click on the link, which can arouse suspicion. To avoid this, hackers often use a technique called "DNS spoofing", which consists of automatically redirecting users to the fake login page via a wifi network.
This is done by intercepting the user's request to log into the legitimate Facebook site and redirecting it to the fraudulent copy.
To perform this attack, a hacker uses the tool Ettercap and the software Social Engineering Toolkit 5 available on the Kali Linux distribution.

3) Take control of a remote machine
This technique consists in exploiting the vulnerabilities of the operating system or the software installed in it.
Every day, new security flaws are discovered by hackers on different operating systems. These flaws are exploitable and thus allow a person to take remote control of a machine and hack a Facebook account. For this, hackers use the tool Metasploit.
Metasploit is a tool for developing and running exploits against a remote machine. It contains hundreds of exploits and can attack all types of machines.
To learn more about the Metasploit tool, check out this article: what Metasploit and how to use ?
4) Intercept data on a network with Ettercap
Etercap is software that captures data circulating on a network and edits its content.
It can capture any information sent across a network. And therefore display both the identity of users and their passwords transmitted by any service transporting clear data (unencrypted), such as Telnet, DNS, SMTP, POP3, FTP and HTTP.
To know how to intercept data on a network, read this article: The Sniffers « network analyzer ».

5) Password recovery with USB key
It is also possible to create a USB key that recovers passwords from a computer. A USB key that runs automatically and recovers most of the passwords stored on the victim's computer.
For more info on this method, watch this tutorial: TUTO HACK: Creating a rootkit USB key.
6) Recover Facebook password with WebBrowserPassView
WebBrowserPassView is a free software that can recover passwords saved on a local computer. This tool can be useful if you forgot a password or need to access an account on a browser you don't normally use.
WebBrowserPassView can recover passwords stored by 4 different web browsers: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. It is easy to use and requires no technical skills. Here are the steps to follow:
- First of all, download the WebBrowserPassView utility by clicking on this link.
- Launch the program.
- Once WebBrowserPassView is executed, the main window will display all the passwords stored by the web browser.
- To find the Facebook password, search for the word "Facebook" using the option Edit -> Find. The password will be displayed in the column Password.

It is important to note that you can only recover passwords if they are stored on the local computer.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it should be noted that hacking a facebook account is not an easy thing at all. Sometimes a hacker can spend sleepless nights trying all these techniques, with no results. If you are well protected, you will have nothing to fear.
Then, know that most of the tools taught on the internet have a single purpose: take your money.
Finally, real attacks do exist, no web application is immune to flaws and no server is invincible. But you certainly can't find the recipe on the first page of Google. Leave it to the professionals and protect your facebook account well.

How do I know who I'm dealing with?
The account does not present anything except a cover photo and a profile photo…
Hello Lolita,
It is impossible to know who owns this Facebook account. However, you can:
– Block the person. The person in question will no longer be able to add you as a friend or view the content you share on your timeline.
– Report the person or any abusive content they post.
Finally, if this person sends you threatening messages, you can report a secret conversation from this address: https://www.facebook.com/help/messenger-app/498828660322839

Hi
My account has been hacked. If I didn't have longtime friends and 20 years of memories, I would move on. However, I hope to recover my data anyway.
It seems that a change of email was requested during my vacation. The refusal of this change is made by a link received on my mailbox. 1 month later, the link to refuse this change is inactive.
Any password recovery request is directed to this unknown email to me.
Facebook solutions do not allow re-access to my account.
THINGS TO DO
Do you have an address, a contact number for a Facebook team?
Thank you very much for your expertise.
Hello Robin,

Hi,
I would like to hack my spouse's Facebook account which was hacked. This hack will aim to recover his account and all the photos and so on.
Of course the password, email address and phone number have been changed so it is impossible to recover anything.
The hacker either removed me from these friends or blocked me (I can't find him anymore and of course all our common information either).
I despair and so does he.
Is it possible?
Best regards.
Celia
Hello Celia?
Even if you no longer have access to any of the email addresses or phone numbers associated with your spouse's account, it's still possible to recover their Facebook account.
Just access this link: https://www.facebook.com/hacked and let yourself be guided through the different steps.
At some point, Facebook will ask you to upload a photo ID of your spouse to prove their identity. So you will be able to recover all of his account.
Good evening, I wonder something I had a story with a girl, she could see what I was doing on the net, I thought of spyware put on my computer.
But since this story that dates back more than 7 years. I have the feeling that I am being spied on, there are suspicious things that often go to my ex. I have since changed my computer, I have changed city, internet connection, I am on Mac (that does not mean anything) account, email address, etc…
But suddenly my question is if she manages to find information is it possible that she can see what I see and if so how can I protect myself.
No, that's not possible ! Unless you stalk your ex on social media.
Why?
Because the web giants record all your actions. So, based on your research, they offer you a personalized content feed for you that may be of interest to you.
Without knowing if I will have an answer, I am going to pour myself out here. Too many scammers are rampant on Facebook, like videos of personalities offering money. When I warn of the scam, I am immediately blocked. What I would like is to bypass this block and warn people that this kind of video is a scam and show them how to detect these scams. Do you have an idea? No matter how much I report pages and profiles, Facebook does not react. An idea to submit to me?
Hello, I want to find the password of a person who is connected to Facebook on my computer.
The password has not been saved.
Is there a solution ?
Hello, thank you for your article, it's been a while since I've been looking for how to hack a facebook or messenger account of someone who has hurt me a lot and who continues, I would like to find evidence that will allow me to go and wear complaint against her.
I can't seem to find a reliable, remote way.
The problem is that this person doesn't have a computer, she only has a phone and I really don't know what to do without having to pay.
If you have any advice, I'll take it ^^
Thank you.
You will be condemned yourself if you tried to have evidence by hacking a person…for invasion of a person's privacy and cyber attack.
The person could turn against you... find another way... in addition, the evidence via a hacked account is not valid in the eyes of the law... you will have it all wrong.
Hello it's super cool your hacking technique my it's just to tell you if you're not going to create an account hacking software with an Android
Thank you

My FB and Instagram account was hacked password changed email address changed I have evidence against this person by private message just before it happened because she threatened to make a video of me viral this person did not change anything on my FB go block me to retrieve the code by email or phone.
I had noticed right after that when I wrote to someone on my other account or Skype it was as if someone was trying to erase what I was writing or modify the words.
So I reinitialized my cell phone and put protection by PIN and fingerprint everything reinstalled and put PIN and fingerprint also everywhere.
But concerning my official account despite 15 emails with proof that I was a pirate I gave the link to FB and with proof of my complaint to the police they did nothing.
This person with his link and scaring me sent me on a xxx site and just after my account was changed while I was online in addition the person contacts me on my other account laughing about it.
If she succeeds in hacking my professional account I could lose my job and FB won't move anymore.
You can use your phone number or your username. If you don't know them you can log in with another account and you look for your account, when you find it you can have your short username

Do you really want to know if your spouse is cheating on you? These are the signs that go with it. if he or she normally goes home to work every morning, all you need to do is pick a particular time to call. and that time must be between the period when you know he or she definitely won't be in the office...call him or her and be silent without saying a word to him, if he or she answers the call and says " hello love, darling, sweet, heart or whatever you call yourself it only means that he or she is not with any woman or man at the moment but if he or she answers the call and kept saying hello hello hello hello then you know something has gone wrong.

Hello Cynthia, to recover your Facebook account, just follow the procedure explained in this article: https://www.www.funinformatique.com/recuperer-compte-facebook-pirate/
Hello everybody
I'll try to stay polite but I'm tired of seeing 8-16 year olds who think they're “hackers”. The world of hacking (I'm interested in pentesting) is vast so it's not by watching two tutorials on the internet that we're going to learn how to hack and you really believe we're going to do it for you!
If you are interested in pentest, start by familiarizing yourself with Debian and some tools like Ettercap, Wireshark, the Metasploit Framework… Then move on to Kali.
Otherwise great article!!
Hi
Can someone explain to me the Ettercap method, Social Engineering Toolkit 5, Kali Linux and Metasploit.
Are these tools to access a computer remotely?
If for example we want to access the computer of a person who lives in another country, can these software access it?
Hacking an account, whatever it is, is easy and hard at the same time, easy to help you get in, by. Links that you have opened, or give your private information to strangers, difficult c you have a very good password, double identification, by phone or a unique code, that's it….
that's funny now :') it's a change, I often go to see videos on hacking just to laugh a little at the naivety of people on hacking but there are good techniques to meditate on ;')
Hello, my old Facebook account has become visible again after I deleted it 3 years ago.
It was created via an email address that is no longer active, results no way to reconnect to this account to delete it again if anyone has a solution I don't know what to do and no conclusive response from the help service Facebook.
Thank you
The problem is that they are not able to help regain the connection of a disabled account that requires double authentication for access.
I have the proof in email, because my account is deactivated and to be able to connect I need a double authentication.
This is ?
Finally, a real tutorial and not FAKES. This tutorial taught me a lot. I'm not in this tutorial to hack a Facebook but to understand how and this tutorial does it well, Thank you very much
Thank you for these techniques. I learned a lot from this tutorial. Only that it will be better to detail each technique in order to better understand how to hack a Facebook account
Already they are cool to have made an article to show how to hack if in addition they have to do it for you….. :/
very nice explanations for some people who believe that hacking is done like in Hollywood movies
Hello,
I got hacked into my Facebook account yesterday and I would really like to 1- understand the mechanism and 2- understand the risks.
Yesterday morning I clicked on an SMS asking me to enter my access codes by clicking on the link sent in addition...which I do (without comment...) and there I am directed to a Facebook page etc...and I m realize that I may have done something stupid, so I go to the settings to activate the protection by email and notification…. And to my surprise I receive a notification of, a connection has taken place from a new browser or device….well ok!!! I disconnect and reconnect a little later and the same, I receive the info...but the most surprising thing is that instead of the Facebook image on the first one, I see the profile picture of a friend, ditto a few seconds later for the 2nd connection and again the 3rd… Moment when I got a girlfriend (who is not the one in the photo) by Messenger a message like who I got hacked! In order to signify that
I know if the other friend reads the message and I change my password… (knowing that the first time I did not type it by going to the link…)…
What exactly is this type of attack pushing+The remote control screen??? And to have to change my password to you they an interest? Could the person also go elsewhere on my EMAILS, documents, etc?
Thank you for the answer.
A few years ago I managed to hack a fb account through his Hotmail. You recover the person's Hotmail account and then you change the fb password that you will receive with the link on the hotmail
