Carding training. Carder teachers.

[Cloned Boy]

Carders typically don't have formal "teachers" in the traditional sense of the word. However, their training often occurs through criminal communities, darknet forums, or interactions with more experienced participants. Let's look at who and how can influence the training of carders, and why it's important to redirect such skills into legal areas.

1. Who can be "teachers" of carders?​

1.1. Experienced members of criminal communities​

• Description: Older or more experienced carders take on the role of mentors.
• Role:
  • They teach beginners the basics of carding (for example, how to use skimmers or phishing tools).
  • They share experiences on how to avoid exposure.
  • They help establish connections on the darknet.

1.2. Darknet Forum Administrators​

• Description: Owners or moderators of underground forums often provide information and resources.
• Role:
  • Publishes carding guides.
  • Sell access to tools (eg stealers, map generators).
  • Create training materials for beginners.

1.3. Hackers and programmers​

• Description: Technical specialists who develop tools for carding.
• Role:
  • They teach beginners the basics of programming and hacking systems.
  • Helps to introduce malware (e.g. web skimmers).

1.4. Self-education via the Internet​

• Description: Many carders teach themselves using available online resources.
• Sources of knowledge:
  • Darknet forums (e.g., Exploit, RaidForums).
  • YouTube channels with educational videos.
  • Blogs and articles about cybersecurity (used to learn about protection methods and how to bypass them).

2. How does the training proceed?​

2.1. Theoretical part​

• Beginners learn the basics:
  • How banking systems work.
  • The structure of map data (e.g. Luhn algorithm).
  • Social engineering methods.

2.2. Practical part​

• Learning through practice:
  • Testing stolen card data.
  • Installation of skimming devices.
  • Creation of phishing sites.

2.3. Teaching​

• Experienced carders teach beginners:
  • How to avoid mistakes.
  • How to disguise your actions.
  • How to use anonymous services (eg Tor, VPN).

3. Why is it dangerous?​

3.1. Legal consequences​

• Teaching or participating in carding is a criminal offence:
  • Bank card fraud.
  • Identity theft.
  • Violation of cybersecurity laws.

3.2. Moral aspects​

• Carding harms people:
  • Financial losses.
  • Emotional stress.
  • Undermining trust in financial systems.

3.3 Risk of Exposure​

• Even experienced carders can be caught:
  • Tracked by law enforcement agencies.
  • Errors when using tools.

4. Alternatives: Legal Use of Skills​

Many of the skills that carders use can be repurposed into legitimate fields. Here are a few examples:

4.1. Cybersecurity​

• Protecting data from hackers and fraudsters.
• Development of fraud prevention systems.

4.2. Programming​

• Software development.
• Development of mobile applications.

4.3. Data Analysis​

• Working with large volumes of information.
• Search for vulnerabilities in systems to eliminate them.

4.4. Consulting​

• Helping companies protect themselves from cyber attacks.
• Training employees in safety basics.

5. Conclusion​

While carding "teachers" may exist in criminal circles, it's important to understand that learning how to card leads to illegal activity with serious consequences. Instead, technical skills can be used to protect data and combat cybercrime.

Key takeaway: If you're interested in technology, programming, or security, redirect your efforts to legitimate areas. Not only will it help you stay out of trouble with the law, it will also benefit society.
