1. Introduction to carding and key points
There are multiple definitions available per different views.
Carding itself is defined as the illegal use of the card (Credit/Debit) by unauthorized people (carder) to buy a product. For educational purposes, I will now show how a carder is able to go about their illicit activities. Remember – carding is highly illegal, and should not be attempted under any circumstances.
1.1 Key points in carding method
2. Let us understand each point one by one
2.1 Computer (PC)
For doing carding always use a computer. I know some methods using a mobile device, but it is less secure and involves more risk.
2.2 SOCKS
SOCKS stands for SOCKet Secure. It is internet protocol which allows client and server traffic pass through a proxy server, so real IP is getting hidden and proxy IP get reflected.
This is useful while carding because carder wants to use the credit card holder's location while doing it.
Users can buy SOCKS.
2.3 Mac Address Changer
MAC stands for Media Access Control. It is the unique address of every Network Interface Card (NIC).
A MAC address changer allows you to change the MAC address of NIC instantly. It is required to be anonymous and safe J
2.4 CCleaner
It is very useful tool help in cleaning your browsing history, cookies, temp files, etc.
Many people ignore this part and get caught, so be careful and don't forget to use it J
2.5 RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)
RDP allows one computer to connect to another computer within the network. It is protocol developed by Microsoft.
Basically, carders use it to connect to computers of the geolocation of the person whose credit card carder want to use. It is used for safety and stay anon. Here carders use others PC for doing carding instead of their own.
