Facebook Password Sniffing With Wireshark
First you will have to know about wireshark
Wireshark is a software program that is primarily used by hackers to sniff and monitor networks in order to extract sensitive data from the intended victim. Today i am gonna show you how wireshark works. How Wireshark Works? Wireshark basically collects and monitors the data sent or received over a network and lets you go through this data. It can also capture cookies which can even be used to gain control of the victim’s account. However, it can only work if the website the victim is logging onto does not use a secured HTTPS connection. It works only on HTTP connection which does not encrypt login data.
Step for using wireshark:-
1. Download and install Wireshark. It works on all major operating systems so it shouldn’t be an issue.
2. In case you are using a wireless network, then set the Wireshark to promiscuous mode to capture all the data over the network.
3.Click on analyze and select the appropriate interface so it starts sniffing the network.
4. Continue sniffing for as long as you need to till you are sure your victim has logged into the website and then click Stop.
5. Now, set the filter as - http.request.method == "POST" – as shown below to filter all the POST requests in your computer so you can start analyzing and locate the website your victim logged into.6. Finally, select ‘Follow TCP Stream’. Now go through the data and you will be able to see the password and username of your victim using the ‘Find’ feat
Here, Wireshark fails to be of any practical utility if the website uses HTTPS to encrypt cookies and login data. However, it is very effective when it comes to extracting login information when websites use HTTP which does not encrypt cookies or login data.
