How to hack Facebook account pictures

A simple explanation of the Facebook photo URLs

Let's get an example Facebook URL and see what information can be found:

https://www.facebook.com/thehackernews = https://www.facebook.com/172819872731894

Example URL:

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/562956_449111435102735_351919970_n.jpg

This is the photo's album id: 449111435102735

https://facebook.com/449111435102735

Here are different pictures that every user has stored, simply changing the letter at the end of the URL will change it's size.

Normal Picture:

How to port Nmap to your Android Phone

Porting Nmap to Android

I was trying to port Nmap to Android and I was running into plenty of compiling and linking errors until I realized, thanks to Vlatko Kosturjak, this has already been done.

First, download the package:

wget http://ftp.linux.hr/android/nmap/nmap-5.50-android-bin.tar.bz2

Open it:

tar -xvjf nmap-5.50-android-bin.tar.bz2

Go into the directory and push to your phone:

cd nmap-5.50/bin
adb push . /data/local/tmp

Obviously, if you have root, you can push these binaries anywhere you would like.

How to easily find and remove your comments from Youtube

How to remove Youtube comments easily from a video

Most of the time when you comemnt on a video it is for a good reason; however, Google indexes these comemnts and puts them in the Google search. The easiest way to remove these comments is to list as many as you can and then simply remove them:

Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdgQpa1pUUE

The video ID:

cdgQpa1pUUE

Put that ID here:

http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?threaded=1&page=1&v=cdgQpa1pUUE

Now you can easily page through comments and delete what you need.

How to hack Facebook accounts using the Facebook Query Language

How to use the FQL(Facebook Query Language)

Get the page you want to lookup:

http://www.facebook.com/burrowsapps

Obtain the id:

140257159405760

Go to Facebook Developer Tools:

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/

Go to FQL:
