Gmail and Email Hacking

Hi,
I’m here again with my new post regarding hacking.
Lets see about email hacking.

Some forums, blogs, websites give a code for getting the gmail password of a victim through the gmail’s automated service.
I hope that its not true. When tried, it gave no desirable response for me. What i got is just a mail delivery failure report. Hacking a gmail is easy when the victim is your close friend or your close someone.

1. Normally to hack a gmail (il)legally, go to gmail’s home page.
2. Click the link “i can’t access my account”. It will redirect you to a page.
3. In that page, type “forgot password” in the help bar. It will give links for various articles related to your search. 4. Click the relevant page “i forgot my password”.
5. After asking answers for some questions, it will give a link to a password recovery page.
6. In the page, it will first ask your(the victim’s) gmail id. You type it.
7. On the next page, it will check whether you’re a human or a computer. Enter the captacha characters correctly.
8. The next page will show the secret question that you(the victim) had set already for his/her id about him/her. Mostly the questions will be “what’s your father’s name”, “what’s your first school”, “what’s your first phone number”, “what’s your maiden name” like that.

If you are close to that victim, you’ll surely be having answer for it. Check it.
If you are lucky and if you know more about your close someone, you’ll surely break this stage.
The next stage is the stage which you’re waiting for.

It’ll give two input boxes for entering new password for your(the victim’s) gmail id. Enter the new password and you’re done. Kudos to you hacker.

After your hack, the real owner of this gmail can’t access his/her email.
Because you’ve changed the password and the victim don’t know it.

But note this very important point.
The gmail will ask for an alternate email id while creating gmail. We’d've given our old email id. But most of us would’ve not verified the alternate email id by clicking the link given for verifying the alternate email id by gmail. The last stage which i mentioned above (space for typing new password) will work only if the victim hadn’t verified his/her altenate email id. If the victim had verified the alternate email id, then the last stage won’t come. Instead, gmail will send a link for resetting the gmail password to your alternate email id. So you cannot hack in this and the victim may become aware and may do security actions.

Some web mails will reveal the password in the screen instead of giving a link for resetting the password. I don’t think that any mail can be hacked in a way other than entering through answering the security question. But, some websites say that they will give another password for entering into the victim’s account. But they demand a huge amount for it. In their service, the victim won’t be knowing that his/her email had been hacked. Because we use a special password. You can enter into his account without his knowledge. At the same time, the victim also will be able to enter into his/her account with the real password.

(PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCESS INTO OTHERS SECURED DATA IS ILLEGAL AND IF CAUGHT MAY BE FILED UNDER CYBER CRIME. THIS ARTICLE TELLS HOW TO HACK BUT NOT TO DO IT. TRYING THE ABOVE HACKING TECHNIQUES ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK)
