THE ETHICAL HACKING: HACK ORKUT ACCOUNT

How To Hack Orkut ?

Hello guys ! Most of you want to know the way to hack Orkut account. Today I'll discuss on this topic. But before this you should know the fact that Google uses a 4 Level Orkut login which makes it difficult to hack using brute force method.

1st Level: SSL or 128 bit secured connection.
2nd Level: Google account checks for cookie in the sytem of user.
3rd Level: Google provides a redirection to the entered User information.
4th Level: Google doesn't use conventional php or aspx or asp coding so impossible to attack using input validation attack.

So it is not an easy task to hack Orkut by breaking this security. However still some people manages to get access to other’s Orkut accounts. Now the question is how they do this.

Techniques :

1. KEYLOGGER:

Using Keyloggers is one of the Easiest Way to Hack Orkut password. Keylogger programs can spy on what the user types from the keyboard. If you think that you can just uninstall such programs, you are wrong as they are completely hidden.

Key logger software can record instant messages, e-mail and any information you type at any time on your keyboard. The log file created by the key logger can then be saved to a specific location or mailed to the concerned person.

2. PHISHING:

Phishing Attack is the most popular way of stealing other’s password. This attact works by using fake login pages to fool innocent Orkut users to enter their Orkut username and password in these fake login pages instead of the real ones.

When the users land on these page they enter their Orkut username and password thinking it to be the real page but actually it is other way round. It submits all the entered details to the creator of the fake login page.

Example: You get a link to a community in a scrap. It may be something like:

http://www.okrut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=22910233

It is okrut instead of orkut. This is definitely a trap created by the hacker to hack your Orkut password.
