How to Hack Facebook with Bruteforce Attack

If you wanted to learn how to hack facebook using Bruteforce attack, then you have come to the right place. The following article describes the method and tools used to hack facebook with Kali Linux and Bruteforce

Though I have to warn you that this method might take a very long time to crack the password or worse might never work.

The probability of hacking facebook with Bruteforce attack entirely depends on the strength of the victim’s password and the password list used to crack the password. For these reasons, a common password like “password”, “qwerty” or “12345678” etc. will be easily hacked in a couple of seconds.

But passwords like “ihtuLVubicH787##$$” will not be cracked by Bruteforce attack.

So with that out of the way, let’s begin hacking facebook with brute force and Kali Linux.

So I have prepared 3 Different scripts for you to use. I did not make those scripts however the credit goes to the Github profile owners for their amazing contribution

Requirements

• Kali Linux
• Internet connection
• Lots of patience

1) Facebom

Step 1: Start Kali Linux

Start the Kali Linux system and Open a terminal. Press Ctrl+T shortcut to open terminal.

Step 2: Download and clone the Bruteforce Facebook Hacking Script

Git clone the following facebook hacking script from the Kali Linux terminal and run the following commands:

• git clone https://github.com/Oseid/Facebom.git

Step 3: Installation and set up:

Type the following commands one by one in Kali terminal.

• cd Facebom/
• pip install requests
• pip install mechanize

Step 4: Running the hacking Script:

You can use the hacking script with or without the proxy. I would however personally recommend using the proxy.

• Brute Force Facebook Account Without proxy:
• Command: python facebom.py -t [email protected] -w wlist.txt

• Brute Force Facebook Account With Proxy(HTTP):
• Command: python facebom.py -t [email protected] -w wlist.txt -p 35.236.37.121

Now to get the target profile ID of the victim, use the following command

• Get Target Facebook Profile ID:
• Command: python facebom.py -g https://www.facebook.com/”profilename”

The victim’s profile name is the URL address of their profile.

Step 5: Have the patience to hack facebook with Bruteforce

You need to have a lot of patience for this hack to work, add some time delay between the attacks so that facebook will not block your IP address.

It is recommended to use Tor and proxychains while hacking facebook with brute force because your Ip might get detected and blocked.

2) Facebook Bruteforce Script

Step 1: Start Kali Linux

Start the Kali Linux system and Open a terminal. Press Ctrl+T shortcut to open terminal.

Step 2: Install Requirements(Linux)

Execute the following command to install the necessary requirements for facebook brute force script.

• apt-get install git python3 python3-pip python python-pip

Step 3: Installing the script 

Now use the following commands to install the facebook Bruteforce script in Kali Linux.

• git clone https://github.com/IAmBlackHacker/Facebook-BruteForce
• cd Facebook-BruteForce
• pip3 install requests bs4
• pip install mechanize

Step 4: Running the script

Now, to use the hacking tool, we need to use one of the following scripts. Type the following:

• python3 fb.py
• python fb2.py

Step 5: Enter the target details

Enter the target email ID and wait for the facebook brute force hacking script to execute.

Step 6: Have patience and let hack facebook with Bruteforce script work its magic

You need to have a lot of patience for this hack to work. Do try to reduce the time required by using the tips mentioned in the article below.

3) FAITAGRAM

Step 1: Start Kali Linux

Start the Kali Linux system and Open a terminal. Press Ctrl+T shortcut to directly open the terminal.

Step 2: Download and clone the Bruteforce Facebook Hacking Script

Git clone the following from the Kali Linux terminal and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/Juniorn1003/Faitagram.git/

cd Faitagram

Faitagram stands for Fa(cebook)(tw)it(ter)(inst)agram. It’s a hacking script made for hacking these applications.

Step 3: Setup and give permissions for Facebook Bruteforce Script.

Give the folder and script root permissions to compile and execute. Use the following command shown below.

chmod +x faitagram && chmod +x setup.py

Step 4: Install the Bruteforce script and its requirements.

Now use the following command to install the facebook Bruteforce script in Kali Linux.

python setup.py

Step 5: Syntax and Using the Tool

Now, to use the hacking tool, we need to follow its proper syntax. The format is as shown below :

python faitagram -s service -u username -w wordlist -d delay

In my case, it will look like this:

eg: python -s facebook -u [email protected] -w /root/password.txt

The (email) option is for the email of the target.

The (wordlist) option is for the path of the wordlist.

And the (delay) is for the delay between the brute force attempts(seconds).

The Delay option is optional, but I recommend you use it. The other fields are compulsory and must be provided.

With this script, you can brute-force Facebook account and hack it provided the password exits in the dictionary you provided.

Step 6: Have the patience to hack facebook with Bruteforce

You need to have a lot of patience for this hack to work, add some time delay between the attacks so that facebook will not block your IP.

It is recommended to use Tor and proxychains while hacking facebook with brute force because your Ip might get detected and blocked.

Even with all this, the time required will be quite a lot. Take some time and gather some information. Use that information to predict the facebook password which will help you significantly reduce the time needed for hacking

How to Reduce the time required to hack facebook with Bruteforce

The following steps can help you considerably reduce the time needed for this hack.

• Use custom password list

By using a custom password list, you can increase the chances of hacking facebook passwords tremendously. By making your own custom wordlist, you can reduce the time even more. You can custom tailor the wordlist if you know the victim. Read this article on how to guess passwords. It can help you make a pretty decent password list. By using this dictionary attack instead of a typical brute-force attack, you will be able to hack facebook much more quickly.

• Find out if there are any minimum password length and other requirements.

Find out if there are any other requirements such as password length. One uppercase, one lowercase and number and a special character. Buy knowing this as well you can reduce the number of attempts you would use to hack facebook

• Find out the victims commonly used passwords.

Use any of the victim’s previous passwords to make the Bruteforce attack. Add some variations of those passwords in the word list. People tend to reuse the same passwords with minor variations. Because of this hacking facebook passwords with Bruteforce will become very easy

• Guess the victim’s password

The last method you can use is to guess the password and add its variations in the wordlist. If you know even some part of the password, the time required to crack the password will decrease by a lot.

Hopefully, you will succeed in hacking facebook with Bruteforce attack and Kali Linux.

How do these scripts work?

These scripts are made with python and selenium, making it very stable and robust. This hack works on the principle of brute-forcing passwords. Here we just keep on trying all the possible combinations of passwords till we get the right passwords.

As mentioned earlier you need an excellent password list for this exploit to work. This brute force hack does not work against strong passwords. A custom list is always better. You can find many facebook password cracking lists available on the internet.
