How To Hack Any Skype Account in easy 6 steps - Genuine Nov'12

Major vulnerability of Skype's password reset sytem has went public today.
The only thing you need to obtain full access to any skype account is primary email of that account (the email which used when the skype account been registered).
Following guide contains both - how to steal an account, and how to protect your account (scroll down for that).

Update: It looks like Skype made the password reset system disabled. So link on the step 4 is not working for me now (starting from october 14, 2 am PDT). There is some other link, you can find in comments, but I not tested that.

For example, I know somebody's email - crackme33@yahoo.com , let's hack his skype!

1. Go to the skype website, register new disposable account. In email field, put target's email.

If the email, you typed into form, attached to some skype account, then it will say that "You already have a Skype account", that means you can hack it!

So, complete the form, provide some fake BOD, gender, country, answer to question "How do you intend to use Skype?" as personal, fill any skype name (REMEMBER IT), it will give you some suggestions of not taken ones, assign some password (REMEMBER IT), solve the captcha, proceed forward - push the continue button.

You will be redirected to you new account dashboard. Logout from it.

2. Run the Skype application with those new credentials.

3. Since we just logged in to a fresh account, at home screen of the Skype application, there will be advertisement "Find your friends and say hello", click somewhere to bring focus on that part of screen (I clicked where the red cross is drawn):

Then push F5 button on your keyboard, it will refresh the home screen. Do that 3-4 times until you see "Bring your Facebook friends into Skype" advertisement. Click "No thanks, blah-blah-blah".

You will get the home screen with some banner.

4. Go to Skype's password reset system.Put the target's email. In my case - crackme33@yahoo.com .

Click "Submit button", and after several seconds, you will see Skype's pop-up notification - "Password token".

5. Go to Skype application, on the home screen you will see Password token, click on "more info", go to "temporary code link":

6. Browser will open page, where you can select any skype account registered to target email, in my case there are two account - my disposable and target:

Choose target's account and click "Change password and sign me in":

You will be redirected to login form:

You are all set!
P.S. I have changed primary email for that test accounts, so do not try hack them. Just in case. =)

How to protect your accounts

You already changed password for the target account, know the skype login, and able to use that target skype account. But somebody could take it back from you, just as you did (owner for example).
To prevent that you need to change your primary email to some address, unknown to anyone.

To do that:
1. Sign in on skype website.
2. Go into the "profile" link (click to enlarge):

3. On account information, go down, to "Contact details", click "Add email address":

4. Add your email address, which unknown to anybody, but you:

Click save button at the bottom of the form. After page reload, refresh page again to prevent some strange glitches of the site (if you will not reload the page, after you do following steps, it will forget steps 4 and 5 and discard that little work).

5. Scroll to Contact details again. Click on "Add email address" again. Switch primary email to the new one:

Click "Save" button at the bottom of the form, again.

It will ask you for your password. You know it already. Type password and click button by mouse, not by "Enter" key.

After page reload, refresh page again to prevent some strange glitches of the site (described above).

6. Scroll to Contact details again. Click on "Add email address" again. Delete (with backspace and/or delete buttons) all emails but primary:

7. Click "Save" button at the bottom of the form. Make sure all your changes applied (it sometimes require two or more attempts, since the site is developed by curly-handed programmers).

8. Tell to friends how to protect a skype account. ASAP

At the time there is no other way to protect your skype account, except changing of primary email to some unknown address.
Once account is stolen, it has ability to retrieve all your IM history from other peers.
If you already lost your account, contact to all your necessary contacts and tell them to remove you from their contact list. It prevents IM history interchange (if it is not already happened).

There is how mailbox of target looks like:

Thus target will receive notifications regarding password change, but initial owner have less than one minute to understand and take action, it is almost impossible to login into skype website, change emails, when a hacker already there.

Firefox Launches Facebook Messenger Integration !!

Firefox goes social with Facebook Messenger integration

Firefox users can now respond in record time to those pressing pings from Facebook friends thanks to a collaboration between Mozilla and the social network.
Mozilla announced Monday that Firefox Beta testers can upgrade to the newest release of the not-yet-perfected software to get Facebook Messenger baked into their web browsing experience.
Messenger sits in an adjacent sidebar and is the first product of Mozilla’s Social API, which will eventually power additional social features from third-party providers.
Facebook users will notice that Messenger in Firefox looks and feels just as it does on Facebook.com, only carried across each page that they visit. Friends available for chat, along with Ticker updates, are included in the sidebar, and new pings appear in separate chat windows. Messenger can also be hidden should your Facebook pals get too noisy.

The integration underscores Firefox maker Mozilla’s commitment to bringing social to the web in a way that makes sense.
“Rather than being focused on a particular task, we use social sites throughout our day: we check back for updates, we chat with friends, we share. When we started to integrate social into Firefox, this was our guiding principle: make it easy to stay connected; stop treating social like ‘just another tab,’” the Firefox team wrote in a blog post.
To get Facebook Messenger for Firefox, download Firefox Beta and enable the integration.

How To Change Mac OS Login Screen Background

This video shows you how to change your login background.

The login wallpaper is stored in:

Macintosh HD -> System -> Library -> Frameworks -> AppKit.framework -> Resources -> NSTexturedFullscreenBackground.png

You will need to replace the “NSTexturedFullScreenBackground.png” with your own image. It will need to be the same screen resolution as your Mac. To find out your screen resolution open “Settings -> Display”. If required, you can resize the image in Preview. I would recommend that you keep a backup of the old background incase you need to revert back later.

If you find a great background leave a comment below.
