Facebook Hack: How to See Tagged Photos from Anyone on Facebook

anna_150.jpg
In a recent article, post by Brettz on brettz.com, it is fully explained a bug on Facebook which allowed anybody to see tagged photos from anyone on facebook even if they are private or in different network from you.

Unfortunately for some, fortunately for others, this bug was quite quickly fixed by Facebook (even if it seems that there still is something to do with google query like: “facebook.com/*********.php?pid=********* site:www.facebook.com” or more complex queries which might be explained in a future article).

Below is a idea of how it worked:

You first needed to find the id of the facebook user from who you wanted to see the tagged pictures.

This id was, and is still, found in the POST variables of the URL (when you click, for instance, on a user profile). For instance in the following URL:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789

the id would be 123456789.

The second and last step was to go to one of the two following URL address to see the tagged photos of the Facebook user corresponding to the id (which is unique for a user) either to see the tagged ones posted by others (first link) or the tagged ones posted by user himself:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=11111111&op=1&view=all&subj=#########&id=#########

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=11111111&op=1&view=user&subj=########&id=########

Where you just replaced the #’s by the unique id you got before. So in this example, you replaced ######### by 123456789.

The 11111111 could be replaced by any kind of number as long as it was 8 digits.

Finally you could see a maximum of 40 photos with this method.

    Cihan,
    To see all tagged photos of a friend, you may type:
    http://www.facebook.com/album.php?comments&aid=-3&id=123456789
    or
    http://www.facebook.com/photo_comments.php?id=123456789

    To see all profile pics of a friend:
    http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile&id=123456789

    To see all albums pics of a friend:
    http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=123456789&ref=pb

    Where 123456789 is the user id of your friend to replace (as explain in the article above)

    Hope it helped! ;-)

    Wish you had approval on tagged pictures before they hit newsfeed?

    I recently discovered this blog. I’ve had a similiar idea to your rewriting the ten commandments for some time now.
