Safe From Social Engineering
Hacking a Facebook account is truly impossible now after Facebook have improved their Security and closed almost all type of Exploits that have been found by Hackers. But social engineering is only the trick which facebook are any other social media network like twitter can't close, I'm going to show in this article, a Penetration Trick that cannot be and will not be closed by Facebook (or any other Social Network) and the way to be safe from this kind of hacking (social engineering). This trick consists of a Social Engineering Penetration Hack. We will see what it means and how it works in this step by step Tutorial.




What is Social Engineering Hacking?


Social Engineering is a penetration method that hacker uses to access personal and secure information, by having some knowledge about the victim or by tricking and convincing the victim into giving him some useful and important things, those things can be the Answer of the Security Question of his Online Account. Having the Security question's answer will help a lot in hacking the Facebook account.

If i simply define social engineering then it is the method to make victim fool. . .


Why Facebook is Weak against Social Engineering Hack?


Like we said, Social Engineering help you find very important and secure information about the victim like having the answer of the Security Question, which totally make Facebook kneel down against this trick, because the security question cannot be changed after creating the account, which make it totally breakable with social engineering. Any other social network website like twitter, is also weak facing Social engineering.

What Hackers Require To Hack Facebook Account Using Social Engineering



Social Engineering on Facebook can be performed by using No Tool, Programs or Software, the Only thing that are required are: a Smart brain OR Some knowledge about the victim. As i told you before that its just the method to make the victim fool. . .


How To Be Safe From Social Engineering


Hackers use their mind to ask you your security question by the flirt are something else, no matter the hacher is your friend are your enemy or your stranger etc, if someone ask your personal info then you have to be sure that is the safe to tell him/her your personal info. . . As i told you before that once you enter your security question you can't able to change it again, but if you are going to create your new account on facebook then two things i wanna tell you to be safe from social engineering. . .

1. what ever your security question is make sure its answare not to be true

yes whatever your security question is, it is possible that your family member or your best friend know that so make sure the answare of your security question is the one that know only you. . .


A good security question will have the following characteristics:


1.  Easy to remember, even 5 or 10 yrs from now
2.  At least thousands of possible answers
3.  Not a question you would answer on facebook, myspace, in a "Fun Questions to Ask" survey, or in a article or interview
4.  Simple one or two word answer
5.  Never changes

2. Don't use Security question if you believe that your Email is protected


if you don't use your securiy question then it is good enough, if hackers want to hack your account they are unable to go after recovery method of email or mobile notification, and if your email is protected like gmail allows user to be safe using mobile message notification then its good to not enter your security question, then its only ask hacker to recover your facebook account using email address that hacker can't. . .
