How to Hack Instagram with bruteforce

If you want to learn how to hack an Instagram account with a Bruteforce attack, then you have found the perfect article for doing so. The following section describes the methods and tools used to hack Instagram with Kali Linux and Bruteforce script.

Fair warning though, this method might take a very long time to crack the password or worse might never work. It entirely depends on how strong or weak the password of the Instagram account is and whether it is available in the dictionary we have provided.

That is why common Instagram account passwords like “password“, “qwerty” or “12345678” etc. will be easily hacked in a couple of seconds.

But Instagram passwords like “iluuLVubicH787##$$” will not be cracked by Bruteforce attack.

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

So I have prepared 4 Different scripts for you to use. I did not make those scripts. The credit for these scripts and hacks goes to the Github profile owners for their fantastic contribution.

Requirements

• Kali Linux
• Internet connection
• Lots of patience

1) FAITAGRAM

Step 1: Start Kali Linux

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

Step 2: Download and clone the Instagram Bruteforce Hacking Script

Git clone the following from the Github and run the following commands as shown:

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

cd Faitagram

Faitagram name stands for Fa(cebook)(tw)it(ter)(inst)agram. It’s a hacking script made for hacking facebook twitter and Instagram

Step 3: Setup and give permissions Instagram Bruteforce Script.

Give the faitagram folder and script root permissions to allow it 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 Instagram Bruteforce script in Kali Linux.

Python setup.py

Step 5: Syntax and Using the Instagram hacking script

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

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

In our case, it will look like this:

eg: python -s Instagram -u nightfury -w /root/password.txt

The (username) option is for the username of the target Instagram account.

The (wordlist) option is to specify the path of the password wordlist.

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

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

2) Instagram hacking script

Step 1: Start Kali Linux

Start the Kali Linux and Open the terminal.

Step 2: Install requirements

You need to install the other requirements for the Instagram hacking script. You can do this by typing the following commands in Kali Linux terminal.

pip install mechanize

pip install requests

sudo apt-get install Tor

Step 3: Download and clone the Instagram Bruteforce Hacking Script

Git clone the following and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/Ethical-H4CK3R/Instagram.git

this command will copy the Instagram hacking script on your computer.

Step 4: Setup and give permissions for Instagram Hacking Script.

Give the script folder and script root permissions to allow compilation and execution. Use the following command shown below:

chmod -R 755 Instagram && cd Instagram

Now we cloned the script, now to open the files.

Type: “ls”

There should be three things inside the folder.

“Core”, “README.md” and “instagram.py”.

The executable script here is “instagram.py”.

Step 5: Executing and Using the Hacking script

Now, to use the Instagram hacking script, we need to use the proper commands. The format is as shown below :

Python instagram.py username passwordlist.txt

The (username) option is for the username of the target Instagram account.

The (password list) option is for the path of the Instagram password wordlist.

Once we run the tool, we can see the following. Note cracking the Instagram password can take a very long time. So have patience,

Congratulations you have hacked Instagram account.

set proxy /root/Desktop/proxy.txt

set thread 4

Step 7: Running the script

Now to run the script type the command- run. It will try all the passwords you have provided on the list. It will take a long time since it’s a brute force attack.

Congratulations you have learned hacking Instagram with Brutesploit.

4. Insta hacking Script

How to Reduce the time required to hack Instagram with Bruteforce

The following steps can help you considerably reduce the time needed top hack Instagram :

· Use custom password list

By using a custom password list, you can increase the chances of hacking Instagram 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 Instagram 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 Instagram

· 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 changes. Because of this hacking Instagram 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 Instagram with Bruteforce attack and Kali Linux.

How do these scripts work?

These scripts are made by professional hackers and pen testers by using python. 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 Instagram password cracking lists available on the internet.
