Title: Blackmail - Need a Hacker/Catfish/Social Engineer - recommend - will pay BTC
Post by: eddie13 on July 21, 2020, 11:30:12 PM
Not sure what board to post this in, so who are the best Hackers For Hire around here? Who to contact? (rep) - moved

Friend is being blackmailed with nude pics, even some of when she was a minor..
Yeah, I told her she was stupid, but can we get this POS somehow?

Only have his (probably fake) Facebook profile so far, but maybe we can get him with a bait link to grab his IP or something, or social engineer him into blowing his identity somehow..

Ideas?

Has she actually been hacked herself to get these pictures, or could it be traced back to some scummy ex that she is not telling you about yet?

Easiest method to resolve this:  Have her smash you and upload it on the hub.  Then reply with a link and  a ";) beat you to it".

Just sayin', nudes aren't going to ruin her life but they could sure better it.

are these certainly pictures of your friend? I occasionally receive blackmailing emails from some "hackers" where they say that they have my nude pics and more compromised materials against me. I never answer to that, also I have not received any proof that they possess any pics of me.
if he/she has already received compromising materials, based on that, he would have to know where and when the pictures were taken. this could shorten the list of potential blackmailers.

since she was contacted by a fake FB account, from this certainly stands the person with whom she has already been in contact or know each other from before.
I don't think that there you can do anything with fake FB account as the only clue. I assume you checked the mutual friends between her and this acc.

Chat the fake account and fool him that you wanted to buy a nude photo of her, and send him/her a link where to "contact" you.
The link is a bait to know here IP.
There is also this said law, try to ask authorities for help

Quote
Through a court order. In late 2016, a new law went into effect that sent chills down the spines of millions of people. Revisions to a U.S. federal security measure called Rule 41 gave the FBI and others more leeway while investigating online activity. The request for subpoenas to get IP addresses (and home addresses) is much easier now.

She says that the guy she originally sent the pics to a long time ago is dead, died, and has been dead for quite a while now..

I also think it is someone that knows her, because he is trying to blackmail her for more pics/vids, which is weird to me.. He isn't asking for any kind of payment like $$ or BTC, but more pics..
Creepy AF..

beat you to it".

I told her to tell the fuck "You're a pussy if you don't!", but she didn't think it was funny..
He is threatening to post them to the business accounts of the place she works for and shit..

Yes... They have already been posted on /b/.. So they do exist..

Although it sounds hard, I would rather contact with local police to get help. I don't know which country you belong to; corrupted countries would get a pass for such guy though. The blackmailer tries to take the issue seriously in such cases. I know it's hard to go local authorities in such issue but that's the best i would recommend.
Anyway, if you want to trick him, look for some hacker forum. I am in such a facebook group. Let me post the problem there and get a guy if possible.

This could (depending on the country) be a very serious crime, so I'd say report this to the police.

Well it varies on the country, But my friend has experience with our local authorities about also her issue about blackmailing with some kind of nudes, But the difference is she is sure that it is made up by his ex. Her case was easily responded by our anti-cybercrime group she said. She's fine now and the issue is gone. I'm sure there's a hacker that can help you with this case, Maybe try finding on another tech-related forum, Someone will surely take the job since you will be paying for its services.

I also doubt they would do anything but reporting to the police or relevant authorities might really be important, even if not for anything but for reference purposes, as no one knows who the person is or what their next move would be.

I can get you his exact house address and most basic information (full name, zip code if he's in the us, isp, etc). We can use an escrow. The payment will be much higher than $100 though, and I'd say around $900-$1,400 depending on a few factors.

Sounds like a bit much for clicking around a bit TBH..


Snagged an Ip off of him but it belongs to "Hotspot commercial VPN network"..
Totally didn't notice the logger though..  (Thanks "Hacker" ;) but no dice on that try..)


So.. The guy knows what he's doing a bit..

You won't find a house address just by their ip, unless you know what you're doing. My job does entitle risk and security for my own sake, you can feel free to risk it but high value information always will come at a price, even more if it's for a specific service. Anyways, if you want the address, just hmu.

So the story here is that this friend of yours send, at some point, nude pics (some of them when she was minor...) to a guy that he is now dead.
Then all of a sudden, she receives a mail (?) or a FB message (?) to send to this account more pics or else the blackmailer will post the pics that he has already to her job, friends etc surroundings. Am I say it correctly or I miss something?

Sorry to ask again but some details can make a big difference.

If you have facebook profile image of this guy you can run image search on google/yandex to get information if he is using real photo, but I doubt that.
This is free however so you can try it.
You can also check same image for exif and possible traces.

This is serious stuff, and if police can't help her, she can hire other people to track him.
I am sure he made some mistakes or will make mistakes in communication.

Correct.. Exactly..
He just sent her a long list of names he is threatening to send them to..

Also.. I guess this has been going on for a long time..

The facebook pic he uses, when searched, turns out to be some actor/model guy..
Name is a spin of a famous gangster/outlaw..
IP is a VPN..

I'll try to get a dump of their entire conversation..
Edit: got the dump..

Careful with the "expert" noobs popping up here trying to scam you.

The other unfortunate part of this is that what you're trying to do might be illegal in its own right. And would probably not prevent the eventual nude exposé anyway.

Bummer  :-\
She can always admit or half-admit at her workplace and to her friends about nude photos, before this guy release photos himself.
Better to deal with some shame now than with big scandal later.
I think sooner or later he will post those photos in public anyway, because he is sick in his brain.

There is one important fact you mentioned that went pretty much ignored:
"Even some of when she was a minor."
I doubt there is any police force in the civilized world that will not get triggered by the word minor.

That aside, let me get your plan right, you want to find him, and teach him a lesson? The moment you do that you might end in much bigger troubles than him over what he did.

Nah.. I just need/want to get his dox, and the rest is none of my concern really..

So.. The guy knows what he's doing a bit..
I would suggest your friend block the creep, and report the account to Facebook. Facebook may or may not report him to the police, but they will ban the person for having a fake profile (in addition to the blackmail). Facebook should be able to provide information about the person's IP addresses used to access the Facebook account to law enforcement.

I believe it is theoretically possible to embed a virus into an image file that can run arbitrary code on someone's computer. This is probably the only way you will be able to get more than the creep's IP address on your own. How this is done is outside of my area of expertise, and I would caution that sending a file with a virus is almost certainly illegal.

Deal with law enforcement.

Maybe she should just contact the FBI. He could probably get nailed on child pornography charges, among other things, if he actually has nude pictures of her as a minor.

She says that the guy she originally sent the pics to a long time ago is dead, died, and has been dead for quite a while now..

So this is the mistake of the girl herself to send her nude pictures to stranger or anyone. These days no one is trustable and the girl should be taught about this. Even if the guy is dead, the picture can be leaked from the phone or pc.
Will you give us the nationality of the girl and what was her age  :(

Nowadays cyber crime is spreading and police is also working very hard to solve the cases. In this situation it will be the best way if you report it to the police. Also you may try to hire ethical hacker from freelance marketplace if possible.

Has he mentioned just a few close friends, family or a long list?

Has he sent nude proofs/ no nude images to her?

Were any of the non nudes uploaded to her facebook account?

how long as the threats of blackmail been going on?

whatever she does do not send more pics, vids to the blackmailer, it wont end doing that.

who was the Vpn provider, they may keep logs.

Have you reversed image searched the nudes/ none nudes for any results.

Is she friends with the blackmailer on facebook?

Mostly close but a couple that are often associated with her on facebook.. The connection is facebook common tags/comments..

Has he sent nude proofs/ no nude images to her?
Yes.. And started sending to others..

Were any of the non nudes uploaded to her facebook account?
No

This is a job for the authorities, especially since some of the photos are of her as a minor.  The person in possession of the photos is very likely related to the dead guy, it shouldn't be hard for the cops to track down who ever it was that took possession of his electronic devices.

police matter to get the logs, plus the evidence from the fake profile on facebook.

Have you reversed image searched the nudes/ none nudes for any results.
Yes, no results..

Is she friends with the blackmailer on facebook?
Have not accepted his friend req but that is where he is contacting her and others..

three choices 1 close her fb account down, hope it all stops, 2 get the police involved, 3, she adds him on fb to see if there is an email cone ted to the fake fb account, then dox the email, phone number hopefully to find more details, accounts etc.
she does a live vid or fake vid to get is real ip it needs to be live or fake live to leak his real ip, even through a vpn through flash.


First of all, to find the email of a facebook account you have to be friend with that person.

(P.S. - You have to use linux)

1. Go to github and search - xHak9x
Open the first result.

2. Clone or download it to your system.

  Clone it at any location by typing on terminal.

3. After it has cloned, go to the folder and you might see these files
  (i) fbi.py
  (ii) LICENSE
  (iii) README.md
  (iv) requirements.txt

4. type - pip install -r requirements.txt

After the success message has been displayed

5. type - python fbi.py

6. You will see " Hak9>> " instead of you root@whatevername (root path)

7. type - token

8. It will ask you your facebook username and password. Provide it. Don't worry, it's just asking because it wants to get your friends data.
  Your password will not be visible to you because of some security reasons.

  But here's a tricky part. Even if you have provided correct details you will get an erron message that it has failed to generate access token and it will tell you to check your  internet    connection / email or password.
  To fix this you have to go to your browser (don't close the terminal) and login into facebook and confirm that it was you.

9. After you have confirmed the security questions on facebook, come back to terminal and type - token (again).
  Again provide your username and password in the terminal(remember: type token when you are seeing " Hak9 >> ". You will get an _error_ if you are typing it on your root@whatevername).

10. After that you will get a message that - successfully generated token and you token is stored in cookie. AND YOU WILL ALSO COME OUT"Hak9 >> " to your root path.

11. Type - python fbi.py

12. You will again see "Hak9 >> ".

13. Type - help. You will see the various features of this app.

14. Type - dump_phone(for your friends phone numbers)
   Type - dump_mail(for your friends email) and likewise.

The results will be stored by default in the fbi folder it OUTPUT or you can just copy the results from terminal and store it to your desired location.

After you're done, type "exit" to exit the program.

cant help any further with the ip live ect or the linux. will send you to the right forum if you want me to.

can do the doxxing part

1. Go to github and search - xHak9x
Open the first result.

<snip>
All this will do is download the public information on everyone on your friend's list (according to my reading of the code (https://github.com/xHak9x/fbi/blob/master/fbi.py)). I believe this is also against Facebook's TOS.

If you can view the Facebook profile of the blackmailer, you may also look and check the previous posts if it's shown publicly. Find any hint/clue on his comments or the comments on his posts. If he is posting a kind of stuff that is searchable that may lead to the connection.

Why not make also a dummy/fake account? Be friends to his list of friends and try to contact them, maybe you can find any related pieces of information.

if the account in question as a email, phone number listed it will get it, just after be on your friend's list.
Maybe it is against Facebook's TOS and blackmail is not against Facebook's TOS, I think so.

I believe it is theoretically possible to embed a virus into an image file that can run arbitrary code on someone's computer. This is probably the only way you will be able to get more than the creep's IP address on your own. How this is done is outside of my area of expertise, and I would caution that sending a file with a virus is almost certainly illegal.

It's practical. There's a science around it called steganography which embeds arbitrary bytes into an image, and the quality reduction of it is minimal and barely noticeable. You can put the image on an image host, set up a webpage that decodes it (using some javascript library like this (https://github.com/petereigenschink/steganography.js/)) using some free service like Github Pages or Netlify, and then attempt to trick the blackmailer to go there.

The "virus" in this case won't be something destructive, installing Wireshark in the background and run it to sniff the attacker's network packets should disclose his IP address from which you can roughly derive which town he lives in, since there should be packets in there showing his real IP as he connects to a VPN. I think that's what eddie13 wants. The procedure is similar for Windows and MacOS there are just different privilege escalation vulnerabilities (and whatever code you'd want to run in the OS after that will be in C language) to exploit*, because you don't want to display a confirmation message for him to see then he will know he is being hacked.

There is no wireshark for android but if the attacker is using that then you can use something like androiddump (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/androiddump.html) instead. There's no wireshark for iOS either but regardless it is a PITA to exploit anything on with a small budget because of its security and iOS not lending itself well to background jobs.


* After exploiting a remote code execution vuln depending on the browser he's using, and different vulns can be embedded in the image that can be chosen after you inspect the User Agent to check which browser it is.



Your best bet is to find a coder whose willing to write a package to this spec. Web devs with Javascript knowledge are abundant the tricky part is finding one who is OK with doing a grey hat activity like this. I can go research these things more if you want.

Usual disclaimer: I don't condone any of this. I don't have the infrastructure or technical skills to help with anything either. I'm just explaining how it can be done. Though I also think law enforcement will handle your case very slowly and it could drag on for months.

If this guy is always on a VPN, running an "invisible" image off a hosted site to get the IP connection won't work. But, if they happen to be a little careless, then depending on the way you can contact him you could glean something from this.
Honestly, though, I don't have high hopes when it comes to these ransom attempts. If you give in, they will ask for more: the leverage is on their end and only increases every time they are paid. If this guy has these images, then they may as well already be in the public domain. Of course, the underage pictures are certainly illegal, but I don't think he will do something as stupid as post those to your friend's companies.

Maybe it's some obsessed creep, deluding themselves?

I believe it is theoretically possible to embed a virus into an image file that can run arbitrary code on someone's computer. This is probably the only way you will be able to get more than the creep's IP address on your own. How this is done is outside of my area of expertise, and I would caution that sending a file with a virus is almost certainly illegal.

It's practical. There's a science around it called steganography which embeds arbitrary bytes into an image, and the quality reduction of it is minimal and barely noticeable.
Yes I know. Steganography can also be used to hide messages 'in plain sight', somewhat similar to the timestamps on videos by al qaeda and the Taliban in the early 2000's. 


The "virus"
Any code that does something without the consent of the end user is malware, and is likely illegal to be sending to others. Gathering information about a computer without the consent of the user, I believe crosses the threshold to sending malware.

Even if you were able to identify the person behind the blackmail, I don't think there is much the girl or Eddie can do. If you tell the person you know his identity, he can destroy evidence of his crimes, and possibly disseminate the pictures you want to keep private.

The "weird" in this case is that the blackmailer doesn't want money. He/ she/ they want more pics....

I also think it is someone that knows her, because he is trying to blackmail her for more pics/vids, which is weird to me.. He isn't asking for any kind of payment like $$ or BTC, but more pics..

You can call it "stupidity" but he can call it "cunningness", show her that he can do whatever he wants and no cost for his side. This way of thinking though, lead the person to be careless and make mistakes. Unfortunately, police can't run things up so if somebody can run an investigation from his own pocket and deliver them to the police, might have some better chances.
@eddie13: I strongly believe that you have to talk with a lawyer, tell the whole story and listen to his suggestions. Either way, your friend will have to file a lawsuit despite that she consent and gave the material or that she doesn't know the real perpetrator etc. At least you will know/ learn how things are (legally) and what paths your friend has available to choose from. To go illegally, well, is tricky. DW though is there... :-\

If the hacker always use vpn then there might have low chance to caught him, but still it should be reported on FBI. Less is better than never. And if the person become careless for a while then there will be high chance to catch the hacker.

VPNs are not the be-all, end-all. The only difference is that now you're passing through some other network as a proxy but it's not as if the culprit can't be found out via other methods than IP detection.

The Facebook account is definitely going to be a dead end (at least analytically) - unless he's a total moron, there won't be information to be gleaned from investigating a fake account and the sign-up process is accessible enough to where you can probably create one in a few minutes.
