PHISHING is a hacking method in which the attacker sends a email or link. clicking on which will take you to a site which looks exactly the same as the site you use like facebook, orkut, gmail etc. where you will be told to provide your information and bingo! you are hacked and the best part is after that you will be redirected to the original website and some common reason like network or server problem will be shown, so you wont even come to know that you were hacked.
here is a tutorial about how you can try phishing and have some fun.
STEP 1) First you must sign for a free webhosting service like
www.byethost.comAnd register your subdomain. After registration you will have a subdomain like www.yourname.byethost.com (Please select the name of the website wisely and please don't add the name of the website whose phishing page you are making eg. if you are making phishing page of Facebook then pls don't add the word Facebook in the name of the phishing as this website are easily detected and block.)
STEP 2) Now login to your account go to "control panel" then in site management option go to "online file manager" and open the folder "htdocs"
STEP 3) Now DOWNLOAD THIS FILE
http://www.ziddu.com/download/16807575/PHISHERFILE.rar.htmlto your computer and extract the files inside it, you will see folders named facebook, orkut etc. choose which account you want to hack and open the folder, inside the folder you will find two files index.htm and write.php
STEP 4) Now login to to your Byethost's cpanel (all the details of the byethost account will be there in the confirmation email send by byethost) choose "online file manager" in the cpanel.
STEP 5) (There were many suggestions to make this point more clear so i have divided this 5th step itself into some substeps. hope this will help the readers to understand this step more easily)
There are two files in the phisher file downloaded by you, "index.htm" and "write.php. Now right click on "index.htm" and select "edit", the file will open in notepad, press "ctrl + a" to select the whole text and copy it.
Now in the cpanel of your byethost account click on "online file manager". In it there is a folder "htdocs" click on it. In it there is a file also called "index.htm", there is a option to edit it, choose the edit option. Now a new window will open, delete all the text in it and paste what you had copied earlier from the "index.htm" in your phisher file. Click on the on the save icon and you are done!.
STEP 6) Now your homepage
www.yourname.byethost.com has become a phisher. open it, you will see that your page
www.yourname.byethost.com has become the login page of the site you want to hack.now all you have to do is send this link to the person whose account you want to hack.when he tries to login through it you will receive a file passes.txt in your "htdocs" folder of your byethost account which contains the username and password of your victim.
ENJOY!
Note:- Please use this phishing only on some close friends or relative who will take this sportingly and get aware of the online threats. Using this on somebody whom you don't know will qualify as a crime.
And yes it also utilizes hyperthreading technology.
