One the way to hack Facebook is Social Engineering, but the question asked by nearly all the people who are new to hacking scene is that "What is social Engineering and how to hack a (Facebook) account by it?"
So i decided to write this article to explain what it is and give a real life example of my own.

First lets see what Wikipedia have to say:

"Social engineering is commonly understood to mean the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information."


According to Hacker's Jargon Dictionary:
"Social Engineering: n. Term used among crackers and samurai for cracking

techniques that rely on weaknesses in  wetware rather than software; the aim
is to trick people into revealing passwords or other information that
compromises a target  system's security.  Classic scams include phoning up a
mark who has  the required information and posing as a field service tech or a 
fellow employee with an urgent access problem. "

So actually if you trick some one to give you the confidential information he is  manipulated by you. So now its clear that our beloved Phishing is also a kind of social manipulation. This might give you the size of it!
||For those who don't know about Phishing, read this > http://hackthepc.blogspot.com/2011/03/making-facebook-phishing-site-tutorial.html||


Lets get started:


So Phishing is a way to hack and its social engineering, but what are the other ways? Well apart from this you could trick the other person to give you his password. I know this might be really difficult but once you have mastered you could really make your name. Because the most wanted hacker of all times Kevin Mithnik actually used Social manipulation to hack though he himself couldn't write his own exploit!


An easy way is to guess the password from the information given, normally people use following things as their password:

• Date of birth
• Surname
• Phone Number
• School's name
• Girl Friend's name :)
• Favourite Movie
• Favourite Band
• Favourite Hero/Heroine 
• Favourite Fruit! (I used one when I was young!)

So it means you should exploit the trust that victim have in you to get the information, the trust could be of a friend, colleague or official (If you are pretending to be a Facebook guy who need their password).


REAL LIFE EXAMPLE:


Some months back my best friend challenged me to hack his Facebook account, unfortunately he was a reader of my blog and knew all the ways like Phishing or Keylogging. So I couldn't hack him for much time every time i tried i failed. So I though of social engineering. 
What I did first was to got the primary Email Address of Facebook, I got that easily by Visiting his Profile page. The email was in Hotmail!


So I opened the Hotmail password reset page > https://account.live.com/password/reset and gave his email this gave me the following page:

Me: Hey havent you called you old friends? I wanted to meet them.
He: Nupp!!!
Me: Are in contact with them, BTW who is your best friend apart from our group?
He : Ohh my best friend apart form you people is Arslan.
Me: ohh great looking forward to the party! bye.
====================================================


So those people who don't know ARSLAN is a name and to my Good Luck it was also the password! So I hacked his email and from their I hacked his Facebook account,


Don't worry no harm was done I just showed him that i did it and returned him the account because it is unethical to hack people to harm them. Real Hackers don't do this and I for my self only hack my dearest friends (who don't mind) for fun that all for me!
So from this example you people might have learn that how easy it is to hack through Social Engineering. But ALAS! the success rate is very low, but still where nothing works this works!

Concerned About Your Children Safety?

If your kids spend time chatting or playing computer games, they can be approached or threatened by the strangers. Internet has anonymity, and anonymity means impunity in the minds of molesters. The solution? Violate their anonymity by monitoring your kids’ activities!
REFOG Personal Monitor is designed to deal with extended families, but it fits small families just as easy. Allowing you to monitor your children activities remotely over the Internet, REFOG Personal Monitor does not even require your close presence in order to be alerted about suspicious activities of either your children or someone they chat with.

Easy To Install and To Use
REFOG Personal Monitor can be set up and used by anyone. The monitor does not involve a steep learning curve and does not demand a degree in Computer Science to configure and operate. Simply download your free trial version and get yourself going!
Remote Monitoring
REFOG Personal Monitor provides the necessary degree of interactivity, allowing you to monitor your kids’ actions remotely over the email. There’s no need to rush home during the launch hour just to check the logs. See what your kids are doing with their computer without leaving your office!
Real-Time Alerts
Should you be worried now or later? If you want constant protection of your family, simply logging keystrokes and storing screen captures is not enough. Often, an immediate action is required to get your kids out of trouble.
REFOG Personal Monitor is highly flexible, allowing you to configure multiple alerts on harmful or offensive keystrokes sent or received on their computer. Set your alarms, and get notified instantly with real-time alerts if a pre-defined event happens on their PC.
You can easily set REFOG Personal Monitor to alert you by e-mail. Templates are available to filter keystrokes that contain pre-defined trigger phrases, making false alerts hardly possible.
Save Screens and Key Presses
REFOG Personal Monitor keeps a list of all activities you specify it to log. It records all visited Web sites, keeps logs of chats and instant messenger conversations as well as other things typed or received by your kids in chats, messengers, blogs, forums and other online and offline applications.
REFOG Personal Monitor saves each key pressed and every phrase typed, and makes periodic captures of the computer screen to better illustrate what was going on at that moment.
Capture Chats and Instant Messengers
REFOG Personal Monitor captures every key that they press, but does not stop there. Individual keystrokes are of little use when analyzing your kids’ behavior. REFOG Personal Monitor can detect popular chats and instant messengers, and forms clearly legible and readable logs containing chats and instant messenger conversations formatted in a manner that is convenient to read.
Stealth Operation
For even better protection, REFOG Personal Monitor can be completely hidden from your kids’ eyes. It runs silently and unobtrusively on their PC while taking screen shots and recording every key that they press, logging applications that they use and Web sites that they visit. You can access these logs either locally or remotely at any time, even if you are not at home!

Keystroke recording
Once installed and running, Refog registers all keys pressed by a user, thus acting as a keylogger. This function captures all data that has been entered by your children or an employee using a keyboard, including chats, usernames, passwords, emails, search queries and other content. In addition to key logging, Refog is also able to log clipboard text.
Web history logging
Even if users delete their browser's history, the informaton is retained in Refog's log database and always available via the reports function. All relevant information is collected including URLs visited, page titles and the timestamp.
Screenshot history
With customizable capability, Refog takes full color screenshots of a desktop screen. This ensures that the log of what is being typed by the user is backed up with visual evidence of exactly what they are doing. Without being monitored, it is often the case that employees get carried away with excessive web surfing, shopping and other personal tasks. With screenshot history, it is always possible to gather evidence if an employee is wasting the company's time. Multiple monitor configurations are supported!
Invisible mode and password protection
You may not want to disclose the act of PC monitoring, so Refog can work in special stealth mode, making it completely invisible even to a skilled PC user. It cannot be found in the program folder, control panel or tray. When required, the program can be revealed using a special command or hotkey. In addition, it is possible to protect Refog with a password, so users are unable to erase their logs.
Application monitoring and file tracking
Refog is able to record all programs executed on your PC, so it is possible to establish if your kid is playing games instead of doing his homework, an employee is wasting time offline (e.g. playing solitaire instead of working). In addition to programs, Refog stores all file operations (e.g. open, edit, copy, delete), and can reveal inappropriate interest in specific confidential documents.
IM monitoring
Refog is also compatible with all major instant messaging software (e.g. AIM, Facebook®,Yahoo! messenger, Skype, ICQ, Google Talk, MSN). It is not only able to log outgoing messages by a local user, but also incoming messages too.
Email reports
It is not necessary to gain physical access to monitored computers in order to view their logs. All reports can be delivered via email, and can be read anywhere.
Comprehensive settings and reports
It is possible to set the control levels of monitoring, enable/disable monitoring for given users, setup alert keywords and reports delivery, easily filter log files and much more. With this armory of tools, Refog comes preconfigured so it can be installed in just a few clicks and run with default settings, requiring no tech skills at all!

Refog Personal Monitor works great with all modern Windows OS releases: Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, Windows 7®
