In the screenshot below, we have a legitimate Facebook user that we have created for this tutorial. The username is “jonathan.doer.775,” and the password is “password123”. In real-life scenarios, you’ll need to get that type of information using some social engineering techniques.

Now, let’s see this tool in action by generating an access token using the “token” command. Next, specify the username and password of the victim and hit “Enter.” It will create an access token and save it as a log file.

To view the token, use the “cat” command.

Ex: (root@kali:/opt/fbi/cookie# cat token.log).

If you want to know all the available information about the victim and his friends, use the “get_data” command. In this particular example, we have zero data retrieved since we just created this account, so we have no friends.
