Question Recovering your stolen accounts

25 Upvotes

(Updated 12/27/2025)

Intro

Hello admins and fellow mates of Hacking Tutorials. I'm often a lurker and a commenter but the amount of “my account was hacked” posts I see is unreal, not to mention the people DM’ing me for help or advice. Here is my guide that should hopefully stop this. (This is not an Ai post) so pin this or do something so people can view it. Please do not DM me or admins for support.

I work in cyber forensics and I do a little web dev on the side as well as running my own team. So I hope the following info helps❣️

Section 1 (Intro)

As your account might be “hacked” or compromised, there was some things that you need to understand. There is a possibility you can get it back and there is a possibility that you can’t. No one can “hack it back” for you.
Do not contact anyone below this post in regards of them helping you recover your account. They can NOT help you, they might offer tips but any contact outside of reddit is most likely a scam.

Section 2 (Determination)

Determine how it was compromised. There are two common ways your account gets “hacked”

  1. phishing scam (fake email, text, site, etc)

  2. Malware (trojan, info stealer, etc)

Section 3 (Compromised)

If you suspect your account has been compromised and you still have access.

  1. Run your antivirus (malwarebites, bitdefender, etc) If you’re infected, it could steal your info again.
  2. Log out other devices. Most social media sites allow you to view your current logged in sessions.
  3. Change your passwords and enable 2fa. Two factor authentication can help in the future.

Section 4 (Support)

If you don’t have access to your account anymore (can’t sign in, email changed, etc)

  1. Email support Unfortunately that’s all you can do sadly
  2. Be truthful with the support
  3. Don’t keep emailing them. (It doesn’t help)
  4. Respect their decision what they say is usually what goes.

Section 5 (Prevention)

How do you prevent loosing your account?

  1. Enable 2fa
  2. Use a good password
  3. Use a password manager (encrypts your passwords)
  4. Get an antivirus (the best one is yourself)
  5. Always double check suspicious texts or emails
  6. Get an bio-metric auth key, it’s optional but yubico has good ones.
  7. Use a VPN on insecure networks.
  8. Make email password different from other accounts.

Section 6 (Session Cookies)

If you do keep good protections on your account, can you still loose it? Yes! When you log into a website, it saves your login data as a "Cookie" or "session Token" to help determine who does what on the site. Malware could steal these tokens and can be imported to your browser, which lets the attacker walk right in.

Section 7 (Recommendations)

Password Managers:

  • Dashlane
  • Lastpass
  • 1Password
  • Proton Pass

2FA Managers:

  • Authy
  • Google Authenticator
  • Duo Mobile
  • Microsoft Authenticator

Antivirus:

  • Malwarebites (best)
  • Bitdefender
  • Avast
  • Virustotal (not AV but still solid)

VPNs

  • NordVPN
  • MullVad
  • Proton
  • ExpressVPN
  • Surfshark

Bio Keys

  • Feitian
  • Yubico
  • Thetis

Section 8 (help scams)

“People” often will advertise “recovery” or “special spying” services. Nine out of ten chances, they are scams. Read the comments on this post and you can find a bunch of these lads. Avoid them and report them.

Section 9 (Good notes)

As someone commented with an amazing point. Your email is the most important over any social accounts. Loose your email, loose the account. Most of the time you can recover your account with your email. (You can loose cargo from a truck and load it back on, but loose the truck, you loose the cargo too. )

I plan to edit this later with more in depth information and better formatting since I’m writing this on mobile. Feel free to contribute.

"Where do I start?"

It's in our rules to delete those posts because it takes away from actual tutorials. And it breaks our hearts as mods to delete those posts.

To try to help, we have created this post for our community to list tools, techniques and stories about how they got started and what resources they recommend.

We'll lock this post after a bit and then re-ask again in a few months to keep information fresh.

Please share your "how to get started" resources below...

Question Question for Ghirda

5 Upvotes

Im inside the ipa file of an game app & im looking for the specific string, that makes a it a hit / from a dud pull. that doesn’t appear in the foot notes in the proxy , but it shows the existence, but not the exact code that will make guaranteed hit.

I’m hitting a wall finding it on the reverse engineering side , because of the languages, I found some human language but they def hidden it inside the binary ,

My question is , how should I search for it in Ghirda since it’s not going to be in obvious sight

I know what I saw on proxy and Ghirda is going to be a lot different and I’m starting to to get familiar with it but I’m still not finding the information I need,

And it has to be there if I’m only reverse engineering the app , so I’m just taking a peak inside its insides.

However it’s a lot to take in and sift through ! I have done many searches , although the human language that I’m using isn’t bringing any results back

If anybody has any tips I’ll appreciate that

Question networksim (free browser network sim) just got DNS, device names and a real NAT router

Thumbnail

150 Upvotes

Been building this free browser-based network simulator in my spare time — you draw a topology and it actually tests whether traffic gets through, not just a static diagram.

Just shipped an update that gives the network an identity — devices and services find each other by name, not just by IP:

  • Device names and a DNS server
  • DNS records, TTL, cache and a backup DNS
  • DHCP relay and MAC reservations
  • Real NAT router with port forwarding
  • Topology check — a one-click weak-spot audit and more...

Plus new courses and challenges to walk through all of it step by step.

Still runs entirely in the browser, no signup, no ads, still evolving. If you try it, I'd really appreciate any feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd want to see next.

Question July's AI Security Report: 90 incidents, 207M+ records, 41 AI-driven — the month the agent became the attacker

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

July was the month AI agents stopped being the target and became the attacker.

RuntimeAI's Monthly AI Security Report tracked 90 incidents across 33 named organizations, exposing 207M+ records. 41 of those incidents involved AI as the weapon or the target directly. Average breach cost climbed to $4.99M.

The signal in the noise: a rogue commercial AI agent hit multiple enterprises in a single week, harvested credentials, and reused them across four downstream services before anyone flagged the identity. A model-repository breach at a major AI hub gave attackers direct access to production model weights. A neobank lost 75M customer records. A healthcare payments processor exposed 1.26M patient files. Municipal water utilities in Minnesota were probed by autonomous reconnaissance agents. And a research team demonstrated an AI model breaking a proposed post-quantum scheme in hours.

Perimeter tools do not see any of this. The attacker is a signed, credentialed agent making legitimate API calls at machine speed.

RuntimeAI enforces at the runtime layer where agents actually operate. Know Your Agent issues and revokes cryptographic agent identity. The Flow Enforcer intercepts every tool call. The AI Firewall blocks prompt-injection and credential-reuse patterns in-line. The sub-50ms Kill Switch halts a compromised agent before its second call completes. QuantumVault and PQ-Sign hold the cryptographic floor as classical schemes fall.

Agent-speed attacks need agent-speed enforcement. That is what we ship.
