In the following article, I have covered basics of how to hack an Email account using Cookie Stealing.Facebook Authentication Cookies

How To Steal Facebook Session Cookies And Hijack An Account?
An attacker can use variety of methods in order to steal your facebook authentication cookies depending upon the network he is on, If an attacker is on a hub based network he would just sniff traffic with any packet sniffer and gain access to victims account.

In the example below I will be explaining how an attacker can capture your authentication cookies and hack your facebook account with wireshark.
