How to hack WhatsApp account II
1. Read chats from locked WhatsApp
[This workaround don't work after the recent update of WhatsApp]
If you believe locking your whatsapp with password, makes it secure then you are wrong. Even after locking whatsapp with applock, one can read all your chats easily. All they need is access to your device for a minute.
How it's done ?
The secret lies behind the fact, that whatsapp takes daily backup of all your conversation, And if you can get the backup, you can read the chat. Now there is 2 way to get the backup.
First by finding the backup file using the file manager and then send it to other device using Bluetooth. But this file is encrypted. But thankfully this can be extracted. How this can be done, is beyond the scope of this article.
It is in (/sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt)
Second method is my favorite which I accidently discovered while I was testing some other app. By using auto backup apps like backup text for whatsapp , one can directly email all the whatsapp chat in plain text.
All you need to do is take your friend’s phone, install this app, take backup, and then send it and once you are done uninstall the app. All this can be done in less than a minute while the whatsapp is locked with password.
How to prevent it?
Block the access to file manager and lock the play store and settings as well and make sure you don’t allow installation from unknown source by going to setting > device security.
2. Read all messages with WhatsApp Sniffer
This application claims to read all the chats taking place over the same WiFi network.
How does it work?
WhatsApp sniffer was once available on PlayStore but was soon removed after the detection it’s vulnerability to WhatsApp. It use ARP request to spoof all the messages. Back then WhatsApp messages were simple plain text, so anyone could read it. But not now, from August 2012 onward WhatsApp has started encrypting it’s messages.
How to prevent it ?
I often see some forums in deepweb that whatsapp sniffer still works. But I asked the same question on several forums and got the same answer. No, WhatsApp sniffer no longer works. However if someone outside your circle is anxious to use your WiFi then be careful.
3. Spoof mac address on android
Many forum has now verified it’s working.More more information on this Click here
How does it work?
Every device have unique mac address and whatsapp uses it to verify that you are not using whatsapp on two different device with same no. So if the hacker is able to spoof mac address than he will be able to see all your whatsapp activity.
How to prevent it?
Unfortunately there is nothing much you can do. But this WhatsApp hack can’t be performed by normal user. It requires rooted phones and deep knowledge of commands, in short advance computer skills. So unless you are having some very interesting WhatsApp conversation, no one is going through that much trouble.
4. Using third-party spyware
There are some websites like bossay, zealspy and other third party spyware which claim to hack WhatsApp conversation. Although I have never use these app, however from what I have read, they are yet another WhatsApp Hack Scam.
App like this are paid and often require you to install small piece of software in victim. Not to forget, there is no guarantee that it will work even after that.
5. Using WhatsDog
So apparently there is new kid in town, called whatsdog. Although this application stands long way from hacking whatsapp, however I found it little creepy.
Whatsdog can track anyone’s whatsapp activity, all you need is their phone number. To get started, you have to enter the phone no. of the victim and the app register it for tracking.
Over time whatsdog keep an eye on the victim’s whatsapp usage and maintain a report. Using whatsdog, one can find out when a person is online, how often are they online, analyse their whatsapp usage by preparing charts and calender.
Whatsdog is no longer available on PlayStore but you can still found them on the internet though.
How to stop it ?
Sadly, there is no way to stop whatsdog. Since it’s not doing anything that goes against whatsapp. If you don’t want people to see your last seen or online activity then turn it off by going to your whatsapp privacy setting. But then you won’t be able to see others time stamp as well.
