Before learning the actual procedure you should know about different types of attacks, their drawbacks and prevention against these attacks .
1) Phishing :
The first and very basic way of hacking Facebook accounts is via Phishing. Phishing is actually creating fake web pages to steal user’s credentials like email,passwords,phone no,etc.
DRAWBACK :
Users nowadays are aware of these type of attacks and one can not be easily fooled using this attack. You need some social engineering to trick someone.
Prevention :
2) Keylogging :This is another good way of hacking Facebook accounts. In this type of attack a hacker simply sends an infected file having keylogger in it to the victim. If the victim executes that file on his pc, whatever he types will be mailed/uploaded to hacker’s server. The advantage of this attack is that the victim won’t know that hacker is getting every Bit of data he is typing. Another big advantage is that hacker will get passwords of all the accounts used on that PC.
DRAWBACK :Keyloggers are often detected as threats by good antiviruses. Hacker must find a way to protect it from antivirus.
Prevention :
This is an advanced level topic. It consists of a server and a client. In this type of attack the attacker sends the infected server to the victim. After execution the infected server i.e. Trojan on the victim’s PC opens a backdoor and now the hacker can do whatever he wants with the victim’s PC .
DRAWBACK :
Trojans are often detected as threats by good antiviruses. Hacker must find a way to protect it from antivirus.
Prevention :
4)Sniffing
It consists of stealing session in progress. In this type of attack an attacker makes connection with server and client and relays message between them, making them believe that they are talking to each other directly.
DRAWBACK
5)Social Engineering :
This method includes guessing and fooling the clients to give their own passwords. In this type of attack, a hacker sends a fake mail which is very convincing and appealing and asks the user for his password.
Answering the security questions also lies under this category.
Drawback :
It is not easy to convince someone to make him give his password.
Guessing generally doesn’t always work ( Although if you are lucky enough it may work!).
Prevention :
6) Session Hijacking
In a session hijacking attack an attacker steals victims cookies, cookies stores all the necessary logging Information about one’s account, using this info an attacker can easily hack anybody’s account.

so no spam .. no need to download any software .. no need to pay any thing .. for any one you just need .. to follow my steps .. :
1) first step its's that you need to open a new yahoo account !!
2) log on , on both yahoo account and Facebook !!
ll right let's say you want hack Mr X account ;; so my method it's based on the Social engineering way .. i mean the easy way ... but if you think you can hack FB database .. or ..phishing . or Keyloggers .. good luck in that !! Geek !! hhh any way .. after log in both Fb account and yahoo .. you should have you're FB target ==Mr X in u're friend list !! well send him a friend request with a gentel msg asking him to accept you as friend .. but almost .. Mr will be a friend or ex BF hihi .. ===that's actually wht make it a target ::
so after u got Mr X as friend .. here come the trick !!
3) go to yahoo .. Contacts >>add contacts >>> choose Facebook platform .... then .. yahoo will connct the FB database directly and .. retrieve all primary mails .. for all of you're friends .. including .. Mr X of course .. hihihi .. so we almost have 50% of wht we need .. the Primary mail address :: now all you have to do .. is going hacking that adress mail .. i hope that it's a hotmail .. cause if it's a yahoo it won't be retreived :: :: and if it's a gmail :: ouuuf good luck with that !! cause there is no sec question :: in gmail :: hard people !
any way .. we got the mail .. go to .. hotmail for example !! log on .. with any pass .. then presse I CAN'T ACCES MY ACCOUNT !! so if there is any option to answer .. a sec question .. so we're almost on the right way .. then .. you should ask you're self how can i answer .. this question .. ?? well you just need to ask Mr X .. wait for the right .. time .. or look an his profile .. well let's say .. the question was .. where you're mom -Mr X's Mom -was born ? .. as i said just ask him .. but .. with intelligence .. here is social engineering scenario ...::
well if he is a friend .. u ll know for sure .. otherwise u can discuss a subject like the family history . then ask him where he lived befor .. ?? with his mom ?? where she .....??? yes this is it .. and be careful .. with the answer cause some time the first letter . is Capital ::
4) answer the question !! Go to facebook .. log on with the mail :: cause is trusted !! with any password !!
after that .. >>say Forget my pass ;; choose send me a reset link to the mail that u hacked recently !!
5) then reset the FB pasword .. and make sure .. to change the primary mail .. on Facebook security seetings .. and if there is any mobile check .. or trusted machine . just make sure it's the first things that u get rid of it .. so that Mr X .. couldn't do any thing .. in back .. hihihihih Enjoy it .!!
