Hack an Instagram account method #1

To hack an Instagram account can be really tricky if you want to do it manually. But fortunately, we have a quick fix to try a lot of different passwords in a short amount of time. This method is called Brute Force. This means that you will give the used program (in this case instainsane) a list of different passwords and the tool will try all of these. This will however not crack all passwords. If the password is really random it will in fact not work.

This tutorial is as always from kali, so if you don't have kali check out how to install it here. You will also need to download tor if you do not have it installed already. If you do not have tor check it out here. When you have these installed just follow the steps below!

1. Start by going to the site of instainsane at: https://github.com/thelinuxchoice/instainsane.

press the "clone or download" button and copy all the text there.

2. Open your terminal and type "cd /opt/" This is where the file will be stored (directory opt).

3. Type "git clone https://github.com/thelinuxchoice/instainsane.git" this is the text you have copied from the website. This will then download the required files.

4. Type "cd instainsane" You will then enter the file you downloaded.

5. Type "sudo chmod +x install.sh" This will change the privileges of the file.

6. Type "sudo ./install.sh" This will then run the installation files for instainsane.

7. Type "sudo chmod +x instainsane.sh" Which will change privileges of the file that will run instainsane.

8. Type "sudo ./instainsane.sh" Which will run the file.

Now you have started the file and just have to enter the username of the account you want to crack.

Then if you want to be a bit lazy just press enter when it asks for a list. If you want to use a custom list follow the instructions below.

Download or write the list you want. You can also go to this sites "links" here. There you have two really good lists. One which is "rockyou" this one comes with kali preinstalled and then you have one more. The other one is a really good list with pretty high success rates. But because it is so big it will take a lot of time to install. I will, however, make some changes to the insatinsane file to make it more productive. But more on that in another post.

When you have a list just copy-paste the file path in the empty section where you can choose the lists. Then you are done. Just lay back and hope the password is in there.
