Facebook has different verification mechanisms in store. In certain cases Facebook requires you to verify yourself as a human being or to verify your identity. One of these identity checks is the photo verification. Facebook basically shows you photos of your friends and requires you to recognize them in the photos. This is done by presenting you with a list of prepopulated names of some of your friends who could possibly be shown in the pictures.
I have created a proof-of-concept software that can bypass the photo verification 100% of the time. I'll show you how to build the software step by step, all you need is:
- A Facebook developer account (it's for free!)
- A little bit of storage on your hard drive
- A Linux machine (a virtual one will do)
- A local web server to host a small php application (e.g. Apache web server)
- The ability to copy and paste code
