Perform Phishing
- Bruteforcing
This is somewhat debating method. I have never personally tried but, read on various site and hacking forums. It is said that Hotmail accounts can be bruteforced. In Bruteforcing, you have to get wordlist - which contains various words and these words are tried out as passwords for victim hotmail account. Generally, for other sites like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. you have limited account login chances and once that number of chances expire, you are not allowed even to try to login. This mechanism helps in avoiding Bruteforce attack against email accounts. So, it is debating to say that Hotmail account passwords can be hacked (actually cracked) by Bruteforcing.
The most famous Bruteforcing software used is Brutus. But, remember, for hacking hotmail account password by Bruteforcing, you must have good quality wordlist which can be obtained via Google.
- Social engineering
This sounds to be pretty not working at beginning. Even I was neglecting this way. But, once, I thought of using it against my friend on orkut and i got his gmail password very easily by this method. I think many of you might be knowing how what this social engg is. For newbies, social engineering is method of retrieving password or answer of security question simply be queering with the victim. You have to be very careful while using this as victim must not be aware of your intention. Just ask him cautiously using your logic.
- USB Thief
As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to hack passwords from your friend's/college Computer.
