Twitter hack v1.7

Hack twitter, hacking twitter passwords from user accounts and find out someones twitter password...Is any of it really possible? Yes it is!. Surely you've heard on the news of how President Obama's twitter got hacked or a few other celebrities. It is all due to twitter's poor coding/programming which causes all those errors like THIS POPULAR ONE.

A couple of month's ago I wanted to check my old Twitter account but forgot what email and password I had used to sign up, I sent an email to their technical support but they didn't reply so I decided to put my geek skills to good use and find a way to get my login information back by writing a twitter account hacking code or exploit as they are called.

HOW HACKING TWITTER ACCOUNTS WORKS

Twitter has two databases (one for males and one for females users) where they keep all the information from their users, if you remember the email you use to login but forget your password, you can use the 'Forgot your password?' option, however if like me you don't have any of that information it's impossible to legally recover that account.

If you know anything about programming websites you know the 'Forgot your password?' service has to be in direct contact with the databases in order to send requests to retrieve the forgotten information for you, basically what that means is if you 'ask' the database for the login information with the right 'code' (in our case exploit), it will send you back that information.

So all I had to figure out is what the code was and what system they used to contact the databases through the 'Forgot your password?' service, after a few weeks of writing and testing codes I came up with the right one for the job and after doing a bit of research I learned Twitter uses something similar to an email service to contact their databases.

But as usual, everything isn't as easy as it seems. For security reasons the databases are programmed to verify the account your requesting is actually yours and not someone elses so they need some type of authentication or verification (thats why they send you a verification link to your email when creating your account or changing your password), luckily for us Twitter is so poorly programmed they also allow you to use a friends/followers account to verify your own (it's a glitch in the "Mutual Friends/Followers" service where they authenticate accounts by checking if the associated friends/followers email is related to the 'victims' account), in other words, if the person you want to get the login information from is following you on Twitter and your following them...you can use your own account to verify theirs (by confusing the database into thinking we are checking if you both mutually follow each other rather than the true act of reseting their password and getting them to send it to us) and get their login email and password sent to you...but the victim must be following you and you them.
