What is an Xploitz and how to use it.
Learn how an Xploitz is used to hack in 2022
If you want to know what it is and how to use a Xploitz you are in the right place.
First of all there are a couple of points to clarify, a Feat is not the same as a Xploitz. The first is a computer program or command that causes unexpected behavior in software / hardware. This computer program or command will take advantage of a failure to cause errors and will allow you to take part of control over the attacked system. Generally, it is usually to get admin privileges from the attacker or to launch cyberattacks such as DoS or DDoS, which we will talk about in another article.
The Xploitz is usually based on social engineering. Therefore, even requiring an adequate level of programming, it does not have the same intention as the previous one.
In addition, it is necessary to clarify that our intention when writing about this is purely Academic and that we do not try to encourage the use of this practice since the use of a Xploitz it is TOTALLY ILLEGAL.
The intention of this article is for you to understand how it works to avoid falling into these methods and to raise awareness of how easy it is to be hacked and how little security is offered on the Internet.
It is important to clarify these points.
We start
What is an Xploitz?
As we have already said, the Xploitz usually works for Social Engineering. The intention of this is to obtain access data to platforms or accounts through deception and thus getting the victim to provide the data voluntarily. Without intruding on your device with complex codes.
There are various platforms that offer the job done. You can see them doing a simple google search, although for now we are not going to talk about them. Here we will understand how it works.
The Xploitz consists of cloning and/or falsifying the log-in plans of a specific platform with which we will launch the attack through social engineering. In this case we are going to exemplify it with Instagram. Although we have already talked about different methods to hack Instagram, if you are interested in obtaining information about it, we recommend you review this article:
First step: clone the Instagram log-in page.
By programming, to do it in a simple way we can modify the sections of "user and password" using a module modified contact form. Leaving the user and password sections as mandatory fields and changing the design of this using html and CSS. The form disguised as a log-in, will allow that when the person enters the credentials already click on Login, this form will instantly send us the data entered in these two fields. Instead of encountering "your message has been sent", the victim would find the message that the data that has been entered is incorrect. Then the false page should automatically redirect to the original page of the REAL Instagram log-in. Thus the victim will never realize what just happened and that he has just voluntarily sent his data through a full-fledged Xploitz.
There are different methods with the same result, in this case, to explain it in an understandable and simple way for the most beginners I wanted to explain it with a modified Contact Form that would give us the understanding of the use we are looking for. Although we can do it in a thousand different ways.
How to clone an easy website.
There is a program, HTTrack , that CLONE exactly the web pages that we put, so this would serve to clone in HTML and CSS the web that you want to impersonate. We would basically clone the log-in plane and discard the rest. Here we would have to modify the destination links of the original page to keep only the desired page, then introduce the functionality of the modified Form to the User, password and Login sections. Ready, we have the desired page, we will only have to upload it to a web domain. If possible, a domain that is related to the name "Instagram".
Sending of flat and Social Engineering
Once we have the Xploitz ready, we go to the most interesting and creative part.
If we know the victim in question first-hand, it is much easier to use social engineering to bring her down. You need the person to enter their credentials on that page, so you will have to get it to them in some way.
The most used methods are by email or contact through social networks. Although by mail it is usually much more effective.
Modified email accounts.
To make it as credible as possible, having falsified the Instagram page, those who make Xploitz need to use a credible email, for example support-instagram@gmail.com or another similar email address that they can create to send the desired page . If you acquire a web domain such as "instagramssupport.com" or similar, the email address will be much more credible than a gmail.com, in this way we could use email accounts such as "no-reply@instagramssupport.com" that would give much more credibility to the mail.
Some time ago, I received an Xploitz or Pishing attempt which I write in the following article, it will help you to identify them.
Once you have the email account created, you can simply send an email to the person to whom the Xploitz is addressed with a striking Title such as:
Unauthorized login has been detected on your account.
Like in this example:
Then in the text of the mail, the following:
In the email, the link in question is introduced by means of a "anchor text". This is writing https://www.instagram.com/ but change the address where it sends you. In this case, if you enter that link, it will send you to another place. The person will think they are being sent to the destination URL, but they will be being sent to an XPLOITZ.
In this image, the Xploitz in question is of low quality, if you have information about the victim then it will be directed to the language used by this person and will be personalized in a more creative way. Even including images that can be copied from emails received from instagram, to appear more realistic.
Complemented with Social Engineering
In order to launch xploitz and drastically increase its results, hackers use social engineering to get information about the victim.
This will allow the hacker to customize the email in a much more realistic way or find other "weak spots" that make Xploitz work. If you want to learn more about how they apply social engineering to hack.
And that's how easy you can fall into an Xploitz and suffer identity theft.
If you found it interesting, we appreciate that you share the information in order to reach more people. On the other hand, if you want to know if your data is rolling on the internet because you have been hacked, I recommend you review it in this article.
