With Gmail being one of the most widely used email services across the globe, it has also become a favorite place for many to engage in secret relationships and exchange cheating messages. As a result, sometimes it becomes inevitable for people to hack the email account of their spouse or girlfriend so as to reveal the secret. So, it’s no wonder why many people want to know “how to hack a Gmail account”.

In this post, I am going to tell you some of the Real and Working ways to hack a Gmail account. However, before that, I want to make you aware of the common myths and scams associated with email hacking.

1. There is no readymade software program that can hack Gmail with just a click of a button. So, stay away from those websites that are waiting to rip off your pockets by selling fake products.

2. Most of the email hacking services on the Internet claim to hack Gmail password for just a small fee of say $100. I have personally tested many of those services and all I can tell you that they are nothing more than a scam.

With my experience of over 8 years in the field of ethical hacking and security, I can tell you that there are only two ways to hack Gmail password. They are:

1. Keylogging

2. Phishing

Keylogging: Easiest Way to Hack Gmail

Keylogging is the easiest way to gain access to any email account. Keylogging involves the use of a small program/software called the keylogger (also called as a spy software). This keylogger, when installed on a given computer, will capture each and every keystroke typed on the keyboard including passwords. Keylogger operates in a complete stealth mode and thus remains undetected.

The use of keyloggers doesn’t demand any special knowledge. So, anyone with a basic knowledge of computer can install and use the keylogger. To hack the password, all you need to do is, just install it on the computer of the target user. Once the victim logs into his Gmail account from his/her computer, the login details (username & password) are captured and stored instantly. You can later access the stored logs to find out the password.

But what if you do not have physical access to the computer?

Well, you need not worry since I am going to suggest one of the best keylogger program that supports installation on a local computer as well as a remote computer. I recommend the following keylogger as the best:

• SniperSpy – for Windows (Tested)
 
• SniperSpy – for Mac (Tested)

If you do not have physical access then you need to use the remote installation feature to remotely deploy the kelogger.

Phishing:

Phishing is a way to attempt to capture sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details. Phishing usually involves the use of a fake login page (or fake website) whose look and feel is almost identical to that of the legitimate websites like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. When the users try to login from these fake pages and enter their passwords there, the login details are stolen away by the hacker.

However, creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack a Gmail password is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc. In addition to that, carrying out a phishing attack is a serious criminal offence. So if you are new to the concept of hacking passwords, then I recommend using the keyloggers as they are the easiest the safest way.
