Email Hacking ke Basic Steps:

  1. Phishing:

    • Aap ek phishing email bana sakte hain jo user ko apni credentials enter karne ka dhoka de.
    • Ye method unethical ho sakti hai agar user ki ijazat na ho, lekin training purposes ke liye aap isko use kar sakte hain.

  2. Password Guessing/Brute Forcing:

    • Strong passwords use karna bohat zaroori hai. Aap weak passwords guess karne ki koshish kar sakte hain ya phir brute force attack use kar sakte hain.

  3. Password Recovery Option:

    • Bohat se email providers security questions ya alternate email ya phone number ke zariye password reset karne ki option dete hain. Aap in options ko explore kar sakte hain agar aapko answers pata hain.

  4. Using Tools:

    • Hydra: Ek popular brute force tool jo different protocols ko support karta hai.
    • John the Ripper: Password cracking tool.
    • Wireshark: Network protocol analyzer jo aapko network traffic capture karne aur analyze karne mein madad karta hai.

Practical Steps:

  1. Setup:

    • Kali Linux ya kisi aur penetration testing OS ko install karein.
    • Tools jese Hydra, John the Ripper ko install karein.

  2. Phishing Setup:

    • Aap Metasploit Framework ya SET (Social Engineering Toolkit) use kar sakte hain phishing attacks create karne ke liye.

  3. Brute Force Attack:

    • Hydra ko use karke aap email login page par brute force attack perform kar sakte hain.
    • Example command: hydra -l user@example.com -P /path/to/password/list.txt smtp.gmail.com smtp

  4. Password Recovery:

    • Email provider ke password recovery options ko explore karein.










Phishing Attack:

  • Setup Time: 1-2 hours
  • Execution Time: Few minutes to few days, depending on how quickly the target interacts with the phishing email.

Brute Force Attack:

  • Setup Time: 1-2 hours
  • Execution Time: Can vary greatly. If the password is strong, it could take hours, days, or even longer. For weak passwords, it could be a matter of minutes.

Password Recovery:

  • Setup Time: 30 minutes to 1 hour
  • Execution Time: Few minutes to few hours, depending on the security measures in place.

Using Tools:

  1. Hydra:

    • Setup Time: 1-2 hours (including installation and configuration)
    • Execution Time: Few minutes to several hours, depending on the password complexity.

  2. John the Ripper:

    • Setup Time: 1-2 hours (including installation and configuration)
    • Execution Time: Few minutes to several hours, depending on the password complexity.

  3. Wireshark:

    • Setup Time: 1-2 hours (including installation and configuration)
    • Execution Time: Can vary depending on network traffic and what you're trying to capture.

Total Estimated Time:

  • Phishing: 1-2 hours setup + waiting time for target to interact.
  • Brute Forcing: 2-4 hours setup + variable execution time.
  • Password Recovery: 1-2 hours setup and execution.
  • Tools Usage: 2-4 hours setup + variable execution time.

In general, for a single email account, you can expect to spend anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the methods used and the complexity of the target's security measures.











  • Password Cracking: Password ko crack karne ke liye tools jaise ke John the Ripper aur Hashcat use hote hain.
  • Phishing Attacks: Phishing attacks ke zariye email credentials ko capture karne ki koshish ki ja sakti hai.
  • Brute Force Attacks: Brute force attacks ke zariye different combinations try karke password guess kiya ja sakta hai.
  • Social Engineering: Yeh tareeqa involve karta hai logon ko manipulate karke unki personal information lena.









  • Nmap (Network Mapper):

    • Network scanning aur vulnerability discovery ke liye use hota hai.
    • IP addresses aur open ports ko scan kar sakta hai.

  • Wireshark:

    • Network protocol analyzer hai jo real-time network traffic ko capture aur analyze kar sakta hai.
    • Network packets ko detail mein study karne ke liye use hota hai.

  • Metasploit Framework:

    • Penetration testing aur vulnerability exploitation ke liye ek powerful tool hai.
    • Exploits aur payloads ko deploy karke system vulnerabilities ko test karta hai.

  • Burp Suite:

    • Web application security testing ke liye ek comprehensive tool hai.
    • Web applications mein vulnerabilities jaise SQL Injection aur XSS attacks ko discover karta hai.

  • Aircrack-ng:

    • Wireless network security testing ke liye use hota hai.
    • WEP, WPA, aur WPA2 encryption ko crack karne ke liye tools ka set hai.

  • Hydra:

    • Brute force password cracking ke liye use hota hai.
    • Multiple protocols jaise HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc. ke against use kiya ja sakta hai.

    • Techniques:

    1. Phishing:

      • Fake emails ya websites create karna jo legitimate dikhte hain aur users ko trap karna.
      • Is technique se logon ke credentials aur sensitive information capture hoti hai.

    2. SQL Injection:

      • Malicious SQL queries ko execute karke web applications ke databases ko exploit karna.
      • Sensitive data jaise usernames, passwords, etc. ko retrieve karna.

    3. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):

      • Malicious scripts ko inject karna jo users ke browsers mein execute hote hain.
      • Is technique se user sessions hijack kar sakte hain aur sensitive information capture kar sakte hain.

    4. Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attack:

      • Communication intercept karna aur modify karna jo do parties ke beech hoti hai.
      • Sensitive data jaise login credentials ko capture kar sakte hain.

    5. Password Cracking:

      • Password hashes ko crack karne ke liye dictionary attacks, brute force attacks, aur rainbow tables use karna.
      • Common tools include John the Ripper aur Hashcat.

    Resources for Learning:

    1. Online Courses:

      • Coursera, Udemy, Pluralsight, edX, aur Cybrary pe ethical hacking ke courses available hain.
      • Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification bhi pursue kar sakte hain.

    2. Books:
