CARDING FOR BEGINNERS

### Introduction to Carding



Carding is the unauthorized use of a credit or debit card by a person (referred to as a carder) to make purchases. This illegal activity involves multiple technical components and steps to avoid detection and successfully carry out transactions.



### Key Components and Tools for Carding



**1. Computer (PC):**

Always use a computer for carding. While mobile devices can be used, they are less secure and involve greater risk.



**2. SOCKS Proxy:**

SOCKS (SOCKet Secure) is an internet protocol that allows client-server traffic to pass through a proxy server, masking the user's real IP address with the proxy's IP address. This helps the carder appear to be in the same location as the cardholder.



**3. MAC Address Changer:**

A MAC address (Media Access Control) is a unique identifier for a network interface card (NIC). Changing the MAC address helps maintain anonymity by preventing tracking of the device.



**4. CCleaner:**

CCleaner is a tool that clears browsing history, cookies, and temporary files. This is crucial for avoiding detection.



**5. RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol):**

RDP allows one computer to connect to another within a network. Carders use RDP to connect to a computer located in the same region as the cardholder, enhancing security and anonymity.



**6. DROP Address:**

A DROP address is a shipping address used in the carding process. It can be a friend's or relative's address or a service that provides such addresses for a fee.



### Detailed Breakdown of Carding Process



**Credit Card Information:**

Credit card details typically include:

- Credit card number

- Expiration date

- CVV2 code

- Cardholder’s name

- Address, city, state, country, zip code

- Sometimes a phone number



**Types of Credit Cards:**

Different credit card companies have specific numbering systems:

- **American Express (AMEX):** Starts with 3

- **Visa:** Starts with 4

- **MasterCard:** Starts with 5

- **Discover:** Starts with 6



**Visa Card Types:**

- **Classic:** Worldwide acceptance.

- **Gold:** Higher limits.

- **Platinum:** Limits over $10,000.

- **Signature:** No preset spending limit.

- **Infinite:** Virtually no limit, rare.

- **Business:** For small to medium businesses.

- **Corporate:** For medium to large businesses.

- **Black:** No limit, high annual fee.



**MasterCard Types:**

- **Standard:** Similar to Visa Classic.

- **Gold:** Similar to Visa Gold.

- **Platinum:** Similar to Visa Platinum.

- **World:** Very high limit.

- **World Elite:** Virtually no limit.



**Amex Card Types:**

- **Gold:** Around a $10,000 limit.

- **Platinum:** Around a $35,000 limit.

- **Centurion (Black):** High limit, $75,000+.



### Basic Concepts and Terminology



**1. BIN (Bank Identification Number):**

The first 6 digits of a credit card number, which identify the issuing bank. Websites like www.bins.pro can provide details about the BIN.



**2. VBV (Verified by Visa) and MSC (MasterCard Secure Code):**

These add extra security layers to protect cards from fraud. NON VBV cards do not require additional verification, making them preferred by carders.



**3. AVS (Address Verification System):**

Used to verify that the billing address matches the cardholder's address, helping to prevent online fraud.



**4. Checking Credit Card Status:**

While some sites and tools can check if a credit card is live or dead, they often come with risks. Carders sometimes test cards by making small purchases on adult sites.



### Carding Process



**Setting Up SOCKS Proxy in Firefox:**

1. Open Firefox and go to options.

2. Navigate to Advanced Options > Network.

3. Choose "Manual proxy configuration" and enter the SOCKS host and port.

4. Restart Firefox to connect through the SOCKS proxy.



**Steps for Carding:**

1. Create an email address matching the cardholder's name.

2. Use RDP to connect to a computer in the cardholder’s location.

3. Change your MAC address using a MAC changer.

4. Clean your system with CCleaner.

5. Set up a SOCKS5 proxy in Firefox, ensuring it matches the cardholder's location.

6. Register on a shopping site with the cardholder's information.

7. Add items to your cart (start with items under $500).

8. Use the DROP address for shipping.

9. Enter the credit card details manually to avoid detection.

10. Use the cardholder's address for billing.



**Mobile Carding:**

Advanced carders may use rooted Android devices with proxy apps, CCleaner, IMEI changers, and other tools. They follow similar steps to the PC method.
