Bypassing Two-Factor Authentication Techniques
I'm gonna show you how hackers bypass two-factor authentication.
This specific method works even if you have the strongest password in the
entire
world. This is for educational purposes only,
and you should never
use this to harm anyone. Think of this method like having a
wristband at a
theme park to prove that you can go on the rides,
rather than having to
show your ID each time.
This method is called session hijacking.
Here's the attack on a vulnerable test environment.
On your first account, right-click anywhere on the page
and select
Inspect, or press Control plus Shift plus I.
This opens Developer Tools. Go to the Application tab, then
Cookies. You'll see the session ID. Copy that value.
Now open another browser where you're logged into a different account.
Navigate to the same site, open the same Cookies section,
find the session ID, and replace it with the one you copied
from the first
account. Refresh the page. You're now logged into the
first account. You completely bypass the password and two
FA. You're in, just like that. This is
exactly why you should never stay logged in on public computers.
Always sign out of all devices regularly and be careful on public
Wi-Fi. Now, this was just a glimpse.
If you want to really master these techniques and understand cybersecurity
from the
ground up, I teach all of this in depth in my boot
camp.
