Hack an email account

25 January 2009 12,737 views 30 Comments

I constantly get emails of people asking me how to hack hotmail, hack yahoo, and all the other popular email services. Usually it’s for one of the following moronic cover-ups: It’s my password, I just forgot it. , or my boyfriend this or my girlfriend that. I just don’t understand what possesses them to possibly think that I give a hoot.  Nah, I love you guys, I’m just kidding! Everyone seems to think that there’s some hacking trick that will magically get them the password. Too bad you have to actually learn something. Bummer… eh? Below I have briefly described the most common methods.


Phishing - Phishing is by far the most used and easiest method. The attacker simply sets up a page that looks exactly like the real email login page and tricks people into entering their login information.
Update: Check out the new post on how to create your own phishing page here.


Malware - Attackers can infect computers with malware such as Trojan horses that could extract all the saved passwords on a computer or a key logger that will log all the victims typed passwords.


Guessing - The attacker could literally guess the password if the victim uses an easy password like his/her name, birthday, favorite something, pets name, or something similar. If the attacker knows the victim well enough this attack won’t be that difficult to carry out.


Social Engineering - The attacker could literally ask for your password by calling up the victim and pretending to be an IT employee of the company. Once the victims trust is gained, the attacker would then make up a story saying something like the victims password is needed to do some updates because the user database is down or some other bogus. The attacker could also use social engineering along with a phishing page. This would be done by sending the victim a n email that looks like it is from the real email provider. In the email would be a link to his phishing page telling the victim that he/she needs to login and update or change some information immediately for whatever reason.


If you would like to see in detail how to excecute every one of these methods, see The Hacker’s Underground Handbook.

    On that website you learn how to sniff passwords using an usb.
    It collects all the stored passwords, etc when you login you get an option to remember password and username, thats what it “sniffs”. Works perfectly for me

  • Mari Bickmore said:

    Hey, can you truly help me. My hotmail was hijacked by those awful people who then send everyone on your list an email saying you are in London with a sick cousin and need money. They changed my personal info so I cannot regain control of it and HOTMAIL SUCKs as they do not help at all. I just want my email back and my facebook too. I would like to know where they are too!!!

  • David (author) said:

    Have you tried calling Hotmail? They can ask you a few questions and if you can prove it was originally yours, they can reset the password for you. Otherwise.. you’re a bit screwed since phishing attempts will most likely not have an affect on the target since that how he most likely got the account from you in the beginning. If you know the person then it’s still a possible….

    mr David i would like to ask you a question about remote spy softwares like win spy can i run aprogramme specially an executable file on remote computer even if it is password protected computer.
    thanks waiting reply i like your website. thanks

  • David (author) said:

    You can send it directly to the computer and have it run.. unless you can gain privileges on the computer and then upload and execute it yourself.. what you can do is send the exe to the victim via email or download.. and trick the victim into executing it by making it seem like something else via binders and such.

  • ali said:

    Dear David i mean the attached file through email of remote stealth mode like win spy is successfuly installed silently by the target victim after then i gained access like making keylogger but can i run the .exe file with my command without the user interraction. thanks i wanted to but the product and would like to ask an expert like you. thanks for your time. god bless you.

  • Reh said:

    Hello,I wanna hack into someones g mail.But I cant get that persons password from any above method as all the given methods needs some kind of victim user iteration.I cant make my victim to click any link or use phishing,social eng,guessing techniques.I would like to know if there is any other way like brute forcing g mail or some similar technique like that.

    Thanks in advance :D

  • David (author) said:

    Reh, I know that you can do it with yahoo, but i’m not sure about Gmail as I’ve never tried it but you can try running a Dictionary attack against the email but you will need to use a proxy list otherwise you will be banned from trying to login again… also it’ll be slow .. and unless he has a password that might be in a password list.. you are pretty much out of luck.

  • Reh said:

    I once tried brute forcing yahoo with brutus-aet2.But it didn’t work at all.As a result that yahoo account get locked by yahoo.thanks for the reply mate .

  • David (author) said:

    Yes that’s what happens. What you need to do is try cracking it with a password cracker that can use a huge list of proxies. What it does is for every few attempts, it switches the proxy.. that way it keeps it from being banned.

  • Reh said:

    I l try that.Thanks for the tip mate.
