Facebook is one of the best social networking websites on the internet, and we all know popularity drives developers crazy, keeping them busy as they try to regularly develop new things. Similarly, the support of HackingLoops users provokes me to explore new hacks for my friends and users. Good news for you all, I found three new bugs in Facebook.
Hacking Facebook Chat box video tutorial |
The Facebook chat findings are:
1. Using someone’s profile picture as an Emoticon in chat.
2. Using any Facebook Picture as an Emoticon in chat
3. Sending Invisible chat messages.
Using these hacks, we can use anyone image or photo as an emoticon in our chat.
You may wonder how I discovered these bugs. I was searching for client side bugs in Facebook and suddenly I saw fO_oP6n8OAk in the Facebook scripts in firebug. There I found a lot of hidden emoticons, but I was not satisfied with them. Then I read the javascript code further and found something interesting. We can use our profile ID, either number or text, as an emoticon in Facebook chat just by putting the below format in the chat box:
[[profileID]]
My profile ID is www.facebook.com/lonerusher
Now if you type [[lonerusher]] you will be able to see my profile picture as emoticon. Similarly in cases when the profile name is not present, there is a number instead of a profile ID, as shown below:
profile.php?id=534757615
Now in this case you have to use [[534757615]] in the chat to get the emoticon of that profile image.
Similarly pick any picture in Facebook, for example I picked this one:
photo.php?fbid=216057861810512&set=t.1057800144&ENGINE=1&theater
If you wish to use this picture as your image, you need to use the number in front of fbid in your Facebook chat which will be [[216057861810512]].
If you put the wrong ID in the Facebook chat box then it will show a emoticon with “?”.
Below i have added a complete video demonstrating each step in detail, so enjoy your hack. I have also included how to use firebug to find emoticons scripts in Facebook, which are generally hidden from users.
