How To Hack Instagram Account & Password ? (2018 Method)

How To Hack Instagram Account & Password ? (2018 Method) : Tutorial [Using Phishing, Kali Linux, Root, Apps]

Gone are the days when Yahoo, Orkut & other decade back old social media sites ruled the world! Then suddenly the Facebook Giant dived in 2004, and took over the stage. Today, there are many social media sites on Internet with the only aim to bring people at distances close together.

The following chart depicts the data of number of social media users in  last two decades. This is a very big figure, you see! That’s an estimate of 2.77 billion users in 2019! Freaking yeah?!

So, as we know, Facebook is the number one social media platform now. But along with Facebook, Instagram the unofficial brother of Facebook (that’s what I think & I say) is growing at large too. Instagram owned by Facebook itself, it won’t be a mistake saying it a subsidiary too; is being widely popular among the youth today. This is due to the fact that Instagram allows you to share your pictures, videos & snaps instantly with your friends & followers.

Instagram is also very responsive & cool, unlike other social platforms. Am I Right? Yes, I am. 

Facebook has gone through many improvisations & updates in last 14 years. It was a time when there were Facebook bounties being announced and won by many proficient bug hunters out there! But now as we see, with growing security features & fixed loopholes, Facebook has become very secure & shielded. It just means 99.99% note it. I didn’t say 100 and not even Mark Zuckerberg would confess it. 

So it maybe very hard to break into Instagram too? You might be thinking the way, right ?! Umm, yeah its a fact that we are evolving in a secure web now, but remember there’s always a path to a room. There’s always a hole even in a wonderful creation of universe! So Instagram is not an exception. Yes, there are some methods, some doors are open here too. You can hack Instagram, yes.

Enough of discussion now! Lets look into these methods now! COME ON. .. ..

Hack Instagram : Methods

1. The “Forgot Password” Method

2. Phishing Methods (Social Engineering Way)

3. Spying Apps

   1. mSpy

   2. Spyzie

   3. TruthSpy

4. Brute Force (using Kali Linux or Linux OS)

5. Using Keylogger “iKeyMonitor Key Logger”

6. Other “self-claimed” hacking sites

1. The “Forgot Password” Method

Well frankly speaking, this is a secondary typo methods. I mean, its like in order to have something, you need something prior! Right! So it says, if anyhow you get an access to your victim’s phone or email account or his/her Facebook Id, you’re done!

Open your Instagram app.

Go to the login page by tapping “Add account” located at the top left corner of your profile.

Then tap on “Forgot your login details? Get help signing in.” (right below the username & password fields)

You will have following options as stated in the picture :

You can use the victim’s email if you have an access to reset the password.

Either you can send an SMS to his phone number.

You can also use third option of signing into Facebook if you know his Facebook credentials!

That’s it. Reset the password & you’re ready to use the account.

But do remember to change the alternative email or phone number for in case the victim tries to restore his access again. Being SMART yeah!

Let’s move onto next!

2. Phishing Method : Catch the fish !

Phishing is very popular. I guess most of you might be very familiar with this type of hack. We already have tons of tutorials on Facebook hacking using phishing methods methods. Just check in those to find the relevance or even more knowledge! 

Phishing is basically creating a fake page that looks somewhat exactly the typical login page, in which thereby entering the username & password you gain access to victim’s account. Actually it is so possible because its YOU the creator of this fake page & YOU have the control to the data entered to the input. 

Let’s start. For this you need to have something where you will store this so-called “Phishing Page”.

So we need a hosting account for it. You can hunt for any available out there. There are so many free as well as paid. I better recommend going for a free one for this task.

There are free hosting account providers like 000webhost, hostinger, wix, etc, etc, etc.

Click on any of these links & create an account there. We will be using 000webhost here.

Sign up on 000webhost & verify your email address. Update your profile to the basic requirements needed.

Now add a new website.

Now you need to create a phishing page and host it on this account of yours. For this go to the file manager by  clicking on “Upload Own Website“. This will lead you to the File Manager.

You need to login to the File manager using the same username & password which you had entered while creating your new website. The username is the URL of the website itself. Here in my case it is
https://shyamphad.000webhostapp.com/.

Once you are into ir, you’ll see a screen like this. If you’re not familiar with this, its the place where you can add, edit, delete & manage all the files hosted on your server. Pretty easy!

Now download the Instagram Phishing Script from here. Once you’ve done upload all of these here. You may alternatively use FTP to upload the files.

And there you have your Instagram Phishing page up & running! Whoila. Now hold on & use you smart little brain to find out all those DIPLOMATIC ways to send this site to your victim. Well, this is where the stunning art of Social Engineering comes in. So I’ll leave this up to you. Because this is what you invent your own!

I know this maybe difficult for some, but definitely not impossible though. Use your skills to manipulate your target.

The moment your victim signs in through this phished page, his credentials will be deposited in your account.

To see the passwords, you just need to append “/password.html” to your site url. You can then see the details of hacked accounts.

I need not explain “What to do next?” now.  Enjoy.

Phishing is the most used weapon for cracking into billions of personal accounts till date. Kevin Mitnick is a great ideal to look upon when we are particularly talking on this subject. High Five.!

3. Spying Apps

Spy refers to finding out secret information about a person or enemy, unknowingly. This term was used for Government officials who spied on enemy countries for tactics, but it has no more remained a stranger word for common people now.

Spying has always been a fun! You do this by installing certain script, backdoor or any application on the target’s device and further monitor the activities using a client program on your side.

We are going to discuss some best spying apps here. These apps have a pretty much good reputation. It won’t be a mistake trying out on these. mSpy, Spyzie, truthSpy are some of the players we are going to discuss in this field.

1. mSpy

Go to the official website & take a package you wish for your intended tasks.

After signing up, get your email address verified. The mSpy send you the control panel details eventually.

In Control Panel, you can go through the instruction manual on how to install mSpy on victim phone.

Reach out to your victim somehow. Your only task now is to getting this application installed on your victim’s device anyhow, anyway!

That’s it. You can now monitor your victim’s movements and activities easily through your control panel.

Here, access the features of Instagram, wherein you can see the pictures or text messages by the victim.

It also combines with many other features as well. You can also see the keystrokes by the victim using keylogger feature.

activities through their (Spyzie’s) app too!

And the best part is, they also have a demo page, where you can see how it would actually look like when you’re controlling someone!

2. thetruthSpy

truthSpy is considered as one of the best spying apps now. It is due to the ease of its use & flexible functionalities, the spy app is preferred much these days.

This app also has the same features as its counterparts. But the advantage of it is the 48 hours (2 day) free trial they offer! You can try & once you’re satisfied with it, you can go on for a purchase. Although it does take your payout details, you also have a free trial period.

The app can be downloaded from here.

The Instagram hacking tool they provide comes in with several features like :

• Keylogger
• Monitoring app usage
• Browser control
• Tracking GPS
• Phone calls soy
• Text messages spy
• Call recordings
• 100% undetectable.

One more thing is its affordability, when compared to Spyzie. It has three packages namely, standard, premium & gold.

The Standard package costs for $21.99/month, premium for $25.99 while the gold one for $30.99. You may also go for a 3, 6 or 12 month plan too. You can find the pricing page here.

4. Brute Force Method

Moving forward, let’s see the next method of Brute force.

Brute force is a technique of trying every possible combination of words or phrases, often using a list, given an input, in order to get the cracked password as result.

This is a lengthy & cumbersome technique, so the reason I’ve placed it 4th on the list. But it does the work as intended for it. A good word-list is all that can bang for this method getting success. As the technique works it does make sense to describe it here.

For this, you need to have a Linux machine up & running. You can carry out this process on any Debian-based operating system, namely, Kali Linux or Ubuntu.

Step 1 : Fire up your terminal in Linux. Press Ctrl + T in Ubuntu.

Step 2 : Hit the following command to clone the necessary brute force script on your drive.

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

Step 3 : Now give the following command to grant it the required permissions. Then using “cd” command you’ll access the directory of installation.

chmod -R 755 Instagram
cd Instagram

Step 4 : If you hit “ls” command, you can see the contents of the directory. The “instagram.py” is the script which we will run for the attack. But before that we need a list file containing all possible passwords we seek to brute force upon the desired Instagram account.

So you can either create your own .txtfile with a list of probable passwords you think necessary. You may also search online for different word-lists available.

After you’re done getting a word-list file, copy it to the “Instagram” directory. Then you’re set to fire an attack .

Note : You also NEED to have Tor installed on your machine to carry out this attack. This attack uses different IPs through Tor connection as a single IP is prone to get blacklisted when used frequently. So please ensure you have TOR installed on your host OS.

Step 5 : Now this is the very important command which will do the brute force attack for you.

python instagram.py "victim-username" "name-of-password-file.txt"

[python : as the script is written in Python language

instagram.py : the brute force attack script

“victim-username” : type here the victim’s username without ” “

“name-of-password-file.txt”  :type here the name of your downloaded password file list without ” ” ]

It will now try every word in your list & as soon as it matches one, the attack will be finished.

5. Using Keylogger iKeyMonitor Key Logger

This is a malware type of attack vector method. Keylogger is a script or tool which functions in a way to record the keystrokes of a victim & send it to the owner or attacker.

Basically, iKeyMonitor Key Logger is an app, which you can use it to on a victim.

1. Download the free trial or purchase the app from this link. Then install the app in your victim’s phone.
2. Once it is setup, login into your phone & control the victim’s activities without letting him know the fact.

This app takes a record of every single keystroke by the user & offers back to you. In this way you have the access to your victim. You can also refer another good keylogger for Android devices here.

6. Other self-claimed hacking sites

The reason I have wrote “self-claimed” here is for the fact that there are sites which claim to hack Instagram accounts , for a fee or even free (that’s what some say!). Well, I don’t know, nether do I assureyou about these sites. It maybe legit even or rather an absolutely big JOKE. Heh heh! 

Here are some sites which claim to hack Instagram accounts for people.

1. IGHack

This website claims to hack any Instagram account for you free. It also has a desktop application too.

It just takes the victim’s username as an input.

2. InstaHack

This is also an online tool which takes username as an input, searches through servers & gives you the password. Now please, this is what they speak, NOT ME.

3. InstaLeak

This tool scans for input username & finds password. There is a verification process before they lend you the password containing .txt file.

4. Hack Insta

This site also claims to hack passwords. They say it has been rated an average 9.6/10.

5. ArroApp

This is an App which claims to hack Instagram accounts alongside providing various other features too. It includes unblocking yourself from someone’s list, recover disabled accounts, spy messages, privately read hidden profiles or stories.
