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

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