It often happens that you desperately need to look at photos of a private VK profile. As you know, any user has the opportunity to independently choose the privacy level of their profile, so closing an entire album or individual photos is a matter of a few clicks. It turns out that you can look at closed photos! There are certain tricks and “holes”, one of which we will tell you about today.

Keep in mind that they all close quickly, so it’s not a fact that this, like any other method, will be valid in a week or month.

You will need:

Opening the source code

First, try it. If the albums do not open, then proceed as follows. So, open the profile of the person whose photos we want to see. Next, we need to open the source code of this page.

To do this, right-click on a free area, and in the context menu look for the item “View page source code”, “View element code”, or the like. You can also use the F12 key if you have Google Chrome. So, here is the source code of the page. What's next?

Looking for the required fragment

Using the key combination Ctrl+F, open the search bar and enter the word “albums” there.

There will be several results, but we need the one followed by numbers (this is the profile ID). As a rule, this fragment will be the third from the beginning in the search results. Found it? Great, copy them using the Ctrl+C key combination.

Working with the address bar

So, we have the necessary code fragment. What's next? In order to view hidden photos in Contact, return to the required page (we no longer need the page with the source code).

In the address bar of the browser we see a link like vk.com/id#####, where #### is the page ID. You should know and friends. We place the cursor at the end of the address bar and enter the following characters into it: “?z=”, after which we copy here the fragment from the source code of the page that we were looking for.

As a result, the address bar of the browser should contain the following: vk.com/id####?z=albums####, where #### is the person’s ID.

We press Enter, and all the photographs of the person open in front of us.

In this simple way, you can view photos in a closed album in VKontakte, as well as see a list of albums of those people who have been removed from VKontakte friends or unfamiliar users.

Today's social networks pay increased attention to the protection and security of user data stored on them. A number of criminal cases related to the reposting of provocative posts on VK inspired Mail.ru Group to introduce additional protection for the user profile on the VKontakte social network. Since August 31, 2018, VK users have been able to close their profiles from third-party guests, including closing information about people who reposted their posts. Such security measures were not to the liking of many VK users who wanted to gain access to pages that were now closed to them. What to do in such a situation? Below we will look at how you can view a private profile on VK in 2018, and what tools will help us with this.

On August 31, 2018, the social network VKontakte announced the introduction of an option to the VK functionality "closed profile". Now each VK user can select the “Private” profile type in the settings of his page, after which absolutely most of the data from his page will be available only to his friends. A third-party guest who visits such a page will see the user’s name, his avatar, date of birth, place of work, city, number of friends and number of posts. Other data, including a detailed list of friends and posts on the page, will not be available.

Closed profile in the stationary version of VK

This policy, in particular, is due to the fact that previously intelligence services could track people who shared any recording of a dubious nature. The introduction of a closed profile status will not allow Big Brother to easily track those who shared such a post.

And although such an innovation does not inspire great confidence, it will at least partially protect us from the hostility of other VK users.

How to view a private profile on VKontakte

Undoubtedly, not all VK account owners liked such innovations. Many users who want to gain access to a private VK profile have begun to look for ways to view a private account. Despite the fact that the arsenal of such tools is quite limited, below we will consider all the available alternatives.

Add a user as a friend to open a VK account

The first, and easiest, way to view a private VKontakte 2018 profile is to add the desired user as a friend. After your request is approved, most of the information about its page will become available to you, including the necessary confidential data.

If you have a tense relationship with such a user, create a fake page on VK. Choose an attractive avatar (for example, an attractive member of the opposite sex). Fill out the form in a representative manner and send a request to be added as a friend. Usually in such cases the chances of gaining access to the closed VK 2018 page increase significantly.

Ask friends for help

Another option to open a private account in VK is to contact friends (acquaintances) who have the owner of the private profile as a friend. With a sufficient level of friendly relations, they will send you all the necessary information from a closed page, while maintaining your anonymity. Remember that you should only make such a request to people you fully trust. Otherwise, your request may become the property of the author of a closed profile with unpredictable consequences.

Visit the desired user in person

If there is a trusting relationship between you and the owner of a private profile, you can visit his location under any pretext. Get access to his PC and view his private profile in VK 2018. Despite the low probability of this method, you should not completely reset his accounts.

Phishing sites

There are a sufficient number of services on the Internet that promise quick and convenient access to a closed page. Usually they offer you to indicate the ID of the closed page (this ID can be found, for example, using the regvk.com service), and pay some amount for their services. They also require you to enter your username and password (for allegedly accessing the desired page). You enter your data, click on the access activation button, after which nothing happens.

This procedure helps attackers obtain the login and password for your VK account. What they will do with these identifiers next is a rhetorical question. Some block the user’s page and start demanding money for access. The latter merge the received data into some user databases. Still others simply plant a virus on such an account, and it sends out various “chain letters” to all his friends on behalf of the hacked user.

Other similar services (for example, the well-known one) simply do not work with closed profiles, so the effectiveness of their use is deeply questionable.

Resources at the vkontakte.doguran.ru level do not provide any tangible results

Hacker help

On the Internet you can find many advertisements promising to hack any VK page and view a private VK 2018 profile for a certain fee. In most cases, it is quite difficult to verify the qualifications of such “traditional craftsmen”. In this case, it is impossible to guarantee a 100% effect, as well as a guarantee of the return of prepaid funds in case of failure. Therefore, as in the case of phishing sites, you act at your own peril and risk, and it is quite possible that the money you paid will simply disappear without any tangible result.

Conclusion

The appearance of the “Closed Profile” function in the VK option is designed to protect user page data from unwanted leakage of confidential information. It is extremely difficult to obtain such data in the case of a closed profile. Any “holes” that appear are regularly monitored by the VK technical support service and are effectively eliminated. The simplest way to solve the situation is to create a fake page. And also a friend request to the desired user - in many cases this allows you to view a private profile in VK 2018.

In contact with

If you need to get information about a user, you can try to find it on his personal VKontakte page. People willingly publish their personal information on their profile. There is a chance that you will be able to find out the address, phone number (see) and other useful information. But the question arises: will you be able to view the VKontakte page without prior registration??

What you need to know

All you need is to know the full address of the user's page, or at least his id (see). Let's look at this using my friend's page as an example. He has this id:

ID213326012

If in his profile settings he replaced the id with a unique link (this can be done), then to view his page, we would have to know it. As an example, such a link could look like this.

https://vk.com/iljutkina

In any case, in order to spy on the user’s personal data, we must know one of the two URL options.

Viewing VKontakte pages without registration

Using the profile address that we received in the previous step, you can go to the person’s page. In this case, it is not necessary to first register in VK yourself (see). Everything depends only on the settings that the user has set for his account.

If he did not hide the data from prying eyes, then you will be able to view it.

As you can see, on the test page we will see:

Conclusion

Everything is quite simple if the data on the page is not hidden. But if a person has taken care of the privacy settings, then here you already begin to have certain problems (see).

To begin with, you should abandon the idea of ​​viewing data without registration. Create an account for yourself and add the desired user as a friend. Perhaps then some information will become available. Most often, they hide their personal information from users who are not friends.

I would like to immediately warn you against using services that allegedly promise to provide all the data from hidden pages (see). They do not work. And you risk losing access to your account if you try to use them. Before publishing this material, I tested these two services:

Durov.ru vkontakte.doguran.ru

None of them gave me the desired result. At the same time, search engines prohibit entry to the first site, considering it malicious.
