Learn How To Hack Any Twitter Account Using A Web Based Exploit


Do you want to learn how to hack twitter?, Are you looking for a way to hack your friends twitter account without them fiding out? Interested in finding out ways to hack someones profile? Maybe you want to take a quick peek at their direct message inbox, steal their username or find a glitch to use a hacking script.In this article I will show you a fairly easy step by step guide on how to hack twitter user accounts without having to directly hack into twitter or their computer and risk getting caught...ignore all those hacking services, twitter hacks and hackers that charge you money for something you can do on your own for free...hack the password of any of your friends accounts and get their password even as a prank or joke.

Hack twitter, hacking twitter passwords from user accounts and find out someones twitter password...Is any of it really possible? Yes it is!. Surely you've heard on the news of how President Obama's twitter got hacked or a few other celebrities. It is all due to twitter's poor coding/programming which causes all those errors like THIS POPULAR ONE.

A couple of month's ago I wanted to check my old Twitter account but forgot what email and password I had used to sign up, I sent an email to their technical support but they didn't reply so I decided to put my geek skills to good use and find a way to get my login information back by writing a twitter account hacking code or exploit as they are called.
HOW HACKING TWITTER ACCOUNTS WORKS
Twitter has two databases (one for males and one for females users) where they keep all the information from their users, if you remember the email you use to login but forget your password, you can use the 'Forgot your password?' option, however if like me you don't have any of that information it's impossible to legally recover that account.

If you know anything about programming websites you know the 'Forgot your password?' service has to be in direct contact with the databases in order to send requests to retrieve the forgotten information for you, basically what that means is if you 'ask' the database for the login information with the right 'code' (in our case exploit), it will send you back that information.

So all I had to figure out is what the code was and what system they used to contact the databases through the 'Forgot your password?' service, after a few weeks of writing and testing codes I came up with the right one for the job and after doing a bit of research I learned Twitter uses something similar to an email service to contact their databases.

But as usual, everything isn't as easy as it seems. For security reasons the databases are programmed to verify the account your requesting is actually yours and not someone elses so they need some type of authentication or verification (thats why they send you a verification link to your email when creating your account or changing your password), luckily for us Twitter is so poorly programmed they also allow you to use a friends/followers account to verify your own (it's a glitch in the "Mutual Friends/Followers" service where they authenticate accounts by checking if the associated friends/followers email is related to the 'victims' account), in other words, if the person you want to get the login information from is following you on Twitter and your following them...you can use your own account to verify theirs (by confusing the database into thinking we are checking if you both mutually follow each other rather than the true act of reseting their password and getting them to send it to us) and get their login email and password sent to you...but the victim must be following you and you them.
HOW TO DO IT

1) First off you will need to get your username and the victims username, how do you do this?

Go to the victims twitter profile and look at your browsers address bar, at the end of all the address you should see something like this: (I have used a red arrow to point it out)



Write it down somewhere as you will need to use it a bit further down, once that is done you may continue to step 2.
2) At the bottom of this page I have pasted the exploit code I created to fool the databases, this is the tricky part as you will have to edit the code a bit yourself so that it fits your needs when searching for the victims login information.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page and find the code I have highlighted in gray so you know what to copy, select the code and copy it to your clipboard (press CTRL+C) then paste it (CTRL+V) on a notepad or text document so you can edit it.
3) Once you have the code somewhere you can edit it, you will need to insert three things into it, the twitter username of the victim and the friend authentication login information. I will give you step by step examples by trying the exploit code of my friend Sarah's account as the victim, see what parts you have to edit and with what:



1. Should be the victims username.
2. Should be your twitter login username to verify your the victims follower/friend.
3. Should be your password so the database can authentic you really are mutually following each other with the victim.

When editing the code, don't accidentally delete one of the quotes (") or it won't work, so make sure you put the information inside them.
4) Now that you have the exploit code edited and ready to send, we are all set to send it to the database through an email, since it's not your regular email but an exploit email we will have to use a special Subject so the database knows how to read it in programming language.

Go to your email address and Compose a new email to twittersupport@techie.com which is twitters customer service email for forgotten passwords, in the Subject copy and paste the code below highlighted in gray:

$[search_database = $find user+id= "VICTIMSUSERNAME", '%verification+user+gender' = }"F"{ begin_search();


Once you have edited the Subject and entered the email address, your Composed email should look like the screenshot below, I will numerate each item:



1. The email address of the twitter database's forgotten password customer service.
2. This is where you insert the victims username.
3. This is where you insert the victims gender (as mentioned above the twitter database is devided in a male section and female), put an M inside the quotes if they are a male or a F if they are a female.

5) After you have correctly written the To: and Subject: sections, you may proceed to insert the exploit code you previously edited in step 3 into the body section of the email. Now all you have to do is click Send and wait for the database to send you back it's reply with the information.

It should take from 12-24 hours depending on the traffic twitter has that day, this is a sample of the email response you'll receive:



THE EXPLOIT CODE
twt_select_db("find", $linkID) or die(twt_database_error()); $resultID = twt_query("SELECT FriendID FROM signup WHERE email = '$email'", $linkID) or die(twt_database_error()); $num_rows = db_num_rows($resultID); $row = twitter_fetch_array($resultID); $user_id = $row[0];

if ($user_id == "PUT_USERNAME_HERE") = '$repeat' {
print Success, We have sent you an email with the Login email and Password of that Username.
}
else {
// print "We're sorry, your follower does not appear to be in our database."

$passwordfromdb = $row[0];
$find userID = (%follower_list)
#forgot_pass_userid = "%repeat%";
#user email= "YOUR_USERNAME_HERE"; (%follower_vulnerability_match%)
#user password = "YOURPASSWORDHERE"; (%follower_vulnerability_matchk%)
$follower_database_exploit = '%request_forgot_pass_info'
$email_to = %%%@subject_email

session_start();
session_reset_pass("session");
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
if (!isset($_POST['email_address'])) {

}
elseif (empty($email_address)) {
   echo $empty_fields_message;
function decrypt userID password() {
     $salt = "abchefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
     srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
     $i = 0;
     while ($i <= 7) {
             $num = decrypt() % 33;
             $tmp = substr($salt, $num, 1);
             $pass = $pass . $tmp;
             $i++;
    }
    return $pass;
  }

mail($email_address, $subject, $message, "Twitter Password Reset Confirmation


}
/end$


13 Tips to Hacking Twitter


Hey, What are you doing right now?
This is what Twitter answers in a text message of 140 characters or less. This networking tool is something bloggers use to publicize writings, companies use to elicit brand promotion, and people use to network. Here are ten Twitter hacks to better understand and leverage this new social networking tool.

-1- Be reTweet Worthy.
The biggest compliment you can get on Twitter is a retweet (RT). I’ve posted 2000+ tweets and maybe have been retweeted less than 1% of the time.
-2- Gossip Boy.
‘OH’ is when you “overhear” something juicy and tweet it as OH. This is in contrast to citing and sourcing, “@larryChiang’s Drunk tttrs are funny”. Gossip girls and boys, relish in the guilty comfort and anonymity within the confines of an ‘OH’.
-3- Pick a Twitter Thesis.
Twitter generalists bore. Twitter granularists bore most when they ‘report’ on cereal consumption and choice. Solution: pick a thesis or at least a general focus. My focus is “What They Don’t Teach You At B-School”.
-4- Twitter Ambush.
Some elements of a good military ambush are positioning, preparation, monitoring and of course surprise. Position and preparation are functions of what you selected as your focus. Monitor via Summize. A twitter ambush is where people walk into your expertise and your material springs into action.


35 Twitter Tips from 35 Twitter Users


I asked a group of people more qualified to answer the question of ‘how a blogger should use twitter best?’ – my Twitter followers.

Following are the first 35 tips by my Twitter followers after I asked the question yesterday. I think there’s some real wisdom in the mix.
  • madhu – Be honest. Have fun. Don’t try to sell anything.
  • ramu – funny, informative and catchy: choose two.
  • pradeep – Twitter about stuff that has to do with your blog, but also Twitter stuff that has nothing to do with your blog.
  • sidhartha – Share links, share ideas, ask questions, answer questions — anything but “what are you doing?” unless it’s really interesting
  • chakrapani – This was my problem at first, I just lurked. Get active and follow others. Great tool for tossing around ideas.
  • ravinder – Join the conversation, there are too many blog promoters on twitter who just broadcast. Learn @ and start networking :)
  • soujanya – Write each word like it matters, because it does.
  • fathima – share links. share insights and trends, things that are new or timely/current. Be personal. Don’t link only to yourself.
  • Tandeep sign – share interesting resources, not just what you ate for lunch. Twitter often, and use it to test potential blog topics.
  • guru – No cat anecdotes!
  • hari – make use of other Twitter tools to make the most of Twitter (and so it doesn’t suck up all your time)
  • harsha – Efficient is the key to Twitter…. short & sweet. Basically, get right to the point.
  • venugopal – Respect the people you follow. Be interesting. Listen first, tweat second. Don’t waste words.
  • madhavi – I’m new at it all. The #1 thing to help me has been the use of a desktop client. Without “twhirl” I would’ve given up long ago.
  • andhra – Frequent Twitter updates demand desktop clients: Snitter, twhirl, and Twitterific all bear mentioning.
  • jasmin – This often goes unsaid, but I would suggest not having twitter/twitterific open while writing. It can become very distracting.
  • Hari govind – As far as getting followers goes; I find just being friendly and helpful does wonders. And of course shared interests help to.
  • Mahender – Don’t follow more people than you can handle. If you’ve got too much going on, you miss a lot of the good stuff.
  • dilip – Keep your Twitter updated and the followers will come. Stay up-to-date and you will reep the benefits.
  • ravi – stop thinking that twitter is pointless and just try it. It’s all about community – reach out and be a part of it.
  • Devender – contribute positively to conversations going on inside twitter
  • sita – interact and communicate with others – it’s a social media tool, so be social
  • Rao – Share thoughts more than actions: “Pownce will kill Twitter” vs. “I’m going to the toilet”
  • boya – add value to your stream
  • naveen – Look beyond the obvious (traffic, sales etc.) Add value. Build relationships. Think LONG term.
  • pradeep – Learn what people care about. I got a glowing link from RSS inventor Dave Winer my first week of active twittering.
  • faiyaz – Use twitterfeed. Instant feedback from readers is the best part of Twitter. Listen to others; engage them; have a conversation.
  • kamalesh – f you are using WordPress use twittertool much better
  • kiran – Advice: Think before you hit send. 140 characters have the power to help, heal or be miss-understood.
  • pramodha – use an username as short as possible so you can twit more
  • satti reddy – My tip: “Keep it short” ;-)
  • siva shankarre:twitter, I’d share this with them so they could use rss in new ways with twitter and facebook: http://tinyurl.com/3arsm
  • sham – first advice is to add good description and link for something that would be too short in a post
  • shivam – second advice make a good weekly post describing all the twitter for the previous week
  • silvano – Probably look at pounce, Im sure its going to overtake twitter, as its more feature rich. Aside from that, update often.
Thanks to all of those who left an answer. To take part in my future Twitter polls like this one follow me at Twitter.

Top 7 Photo Sharing Tools for Twitter


01In all its greatness Twitter does not offer direct image sharing. Whether this is good or bad is up to you to decide. But because of that, a large number of third-party services have been developed to fill that need. I made a list of the 7 most popular photo sharing services for Twitter. I will sort the list alphabetically.
  • Picktor is a social picture management service & community that enables users to manage their photos, share their photos, and interact with multiple online communities. Did I mention it is very simple to use? And it uses Twitter’s oAuth implementation, so you can be sure your Twitter login details are safe.
  • Pikchur is a multi-platform simple service that updates your social networks / micro-blogging platforms with pictures. Sign up is optional, you can just login with one of their many supported platforms and start sending your pictures right away.
  • Pixim is another simple tool for sharing photos on Twitter. Simply login via Twitter and post photos.
  • TweetPhoto offers a number of advanced options, such as stats, geo-tagging, favoriting and many more. I wrote more about it in my previous post. Here as well you login with your Twitter account.
  • Twitgoo is another simple photo sharing tool. When you login (with your Twitter login), it looks much like Twitter web interface, except that you can attach photos to your tweets.
  • TwitPic is currently the largest and most popular image sharing service for Twitter. Due to its popularity, there are also popular twitter clients that have built-in support for TwitPic. Do I have to mention you can use it with your Twitter login and password?
  • yfrog comes from the guys behind ImageShack and you can bet it is very simple to use. Upload, log in (yes, with your Twitter account), share and that’s it. Simple and fast.


50 Power Twitter Tips


Intent (Human Artist)

  1. Don’t read EVERY tweet. It’s perfectly okay. You have permission.
  2. Follow anyone who follows you (and unfollow spammers/jerks).
  3. Promote other people 12x to every 1 self-promotional tweet.
  4. Build lists to watch people who matter to you more closely.
  5. Retweet the good stuff from others. Sharing is caring.
  6. A lot of @replies shows a lot of humanity/engagement.
  7. Robot tweets are less sexy than human tweets.
  8. Promote the new/less followed more than the “names.”
  9. Set an egg timer. Twitter is addictive.
  10. Everyone does it their own way. You’re doing it wrong, too- to someone.

Technical

  1. A non-standard background and face avatar means we believe you may be human.
  2. Leave 20 characters or more space in each tweet to improve retweeting.
  3. Use Seesmic or Tweetdeck or Hootsuite so you can see more.
  4. Linking one update to several communities is technically possible. It’s just not respectful of each community’s uniqueness.
  5. Tools like http://bit.ly let you see stats. Use them.
  6. Make hashtags small and simple. We need room to tweet.
  7. If software allows you to “post updates to Twitter” as well as to the app, don’t do that. We rarely want to see them.
  8. If you develop software that pushes updates to Twitter, be VERY explicit how that works.
  9. Every time you use OAUTH to give apps permission to use your account, you open a potential security hole. Check your permissions monthly.
  10. The best mobile app is the one that you feel comfortable using. We don’t know better.

Business

  1. Spamming us repeatedly is okay. We just unfollow you.
  2. Spend more time in search than in chatting us up about your stuff.
  3. Finding people who need what you’re selling trumps advertising to us.
  4. Retweeting someone’s nice words about you is lame and doesn’t buy you more attention. Let it stand.
  5. If your link is an affiliate link or a client, say so (in parentheses).
  6. Your customers might not be on Twitter. Use rapleaf to find them.
  7. Invite your customers to Twitter, then make it worth it for them.
  8. Use Twitter as a personalized communication tool, not another blast.
  9. Having different accounts for everything seems like the right move, until you realize it’s hard to grow multiple followings.
  10. Just make money and then the boss won’t ask about ROI any more.

Integrated Usage

  1. Twitter makes every event better. Post the hashtag everywhere. Make every speaker sign/label/name include a Twitter ID.
  2. Apps like TweetChat.com make following event chats really easy. Put in a hashtag and go.
  3. Tweeting the content of events is nice, but so is occasionally making a real live connection with the speaker.
  4. It’s okay to tweet your blog posts, but try asking a question that leads readers into the post.
  5. Can you invite Twitter followers to your other social platforms, like LinkedIn or Facebook? Sure you can.
  6. I’m not into mixing my location apps with my tweets, but if you do, do it FROM the location app into Twitter, not the other way around.
  7. Getting others to tweet your posts or news or registrations is useful, but sometimes comes off as a barrage or spam. Be prepared for that perception.
  8. Tweets that point us to photos and/or video and/or music, etc, are always a great way to enhance the experience.
  9. Please remove Twitter from LinkedIn. Use the #in tag instead and be selective.
  10. Spammy or no, events that tweet their attendance registration seem to drive attendance.

Off-Twitter

  1. Are your tweets really what you want to show in your sidebar? Doesn’t that direct people away from your site?
  2. Think of Twitter as a guidance system to what you think is interesting. A lot of that is likely off-Twitter.
  3. Apps like VisibleTweets.com are neat, but can be very distracting at events.
  4. If you use tweets on a screen at an event, be warned if you moderate. Angry crowds can happen.
  5. Don’t forget to invite people from off-Twitter to follow you on Twitter. Include your actual Twitter ID (I see lots of “follow me on Twitter” with no details).
  6. Asking questions on Twitter makes for very interesting commentary and opinions for blog posts.
  7. Tweetups are awesome, especially if you make them about more than just drinking and saying hi. (Though, hey, drinks can be nice.)
  8. Outside of the Twitter app, keep “Tw” names to a minimum. We’re not your “tweeps.”
  9. If your only marketing efforts are on Twitter, start building an email marketing list. Never put your eggs in one basket.
  10. Start thinking in 120 characters (remember? save 20). Every bit of this advice is tweetable.
Your mileage may vary. Some of these might be really helpful and others might not be that useful at all, given your own situations.
