• Example

python3 igbf.py -u USERNAME -w /PATH/TO/PASSWORD/WORDLIST -v

Those who are using linux/hacking machines (like kali/parrot os, which has pre-installed stuff), can find password wordlist at /usr/share/wordlists/ (mostly rockyou.txt, if it is rockyou.txt.gz - unzip with tar -xvzf rockyou.txt.gz)

• Download links for password wordlists (more @ Kaggle & Github):

  • praetorian-inc/Hob0Rules/wordlists
  • danielmiessler/SecLists/Passwords/Common-Credentials

• Generate custom wordlist (article):

  • Common User Passwords Profiler (CUPP)
  • Mentalist (graphical tool)

- It only supports single username (currently
- If you're not using proxy, instagram blocks/bans your ip (temporarily, dw) after 7-8 attempts
- Now proxies work fine, but the only problem it is time consuming and slow
- Supports: Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux (Termux)
