Get any gullible person's password! - xevenofhearts - 06-28-2013
Re-written version of an old post that the link is broken in
So you're not too technically advanced in hacking... what else can I try to get someone's password?
WARNINGAfter 2 times making forms like this, my Google account and all associations were vanished from the interwebs. Continue at your own risk. Happy hacking
You can try social engineering. No matter how secure the computer is, the user is always the most vulnerable.
Through any survey or form, you can get someone's password. For example, I got into someone's account by making a Google Form; I essentially asked them for their password. Sounds weird, but they gave it to me!
First off, make a survey or form. I used a Google Form because most everybody has a Google account, so a password form on a Google page doesn't seem to fishy. (Since I originally made this tutorial, there is now a warning at the bottom of every Google Form telling people not to enter their passwords... but some people are stupid enough.) https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en
Give them a reason to take the survey. I used the excuse of, "my teachers are making us do surveys for a research project, mind pitching in?" Usually people aren't too phased.
Watch as they hopefully fall into your trap. For me, I only got 1/10 people to answer the survey and give me their passwords, but that was also attempted against friends of mine that are very smart on the internet. Hope this helped a few of y'all out.
