How to detect malware in "carding software"?

[Cloned Boy]

Suspicious programs related to carding often contain Trojans, stealers or RATs (Remote Access Trojans). Here are the methods of analysis and examples of malware.

1. Analysis via VirusTotal​

VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com) is a service that checks files through 70+ antiviruses.

How to use:​

1. Download the suspicious file (.exe, .dll, .zip).
2. Wait for the report.
   • If >5 antiviruses (especially Kaspersky, ESET, Microsoft) mark a file as malicious, it is a threat.
   • Example:
     

     Antivirus	Result
     Microsoft	Trojan:Win32/RedLine
     Kaspersky	HEUR:Trojan-Spy.MSIL.Stealer

3. Check the Behavior tab - looks for suspicious actions:
   • Access to %AppData%, \Local\Temp\.
   • Attempts to connect to IP addresses in Russia/Ukraine/China.

Example: The ATR_Tool.exe file from "Vizey Pack" is marked as Trojan.Malware.

2. Sandbox analysis​

Sandboxes allow you to run files in an isolated environment.

Free tools:​

• Any.Run (https://any.run) – shows actions in real time.
• Hybrid Analysis (https://www.hybrid-analysis.com) – detailed report.
• Cuckoo Sandbox (for advanced).

What to look for in the report:​

• Network connections (where data is sent).
• Changes in the registry (autoload).
• Injections into processes (for example, explorer.exe).

Example: Azorult Trojan creates the file %Temp%\~tmp.tmp and steals browser cookies.

3. Examples of Trojans in carding software​

Name	Type	Action
RedLine	Information Stealer	Steals logins, cards, crypto wallets.
Azorult	Trojan-steeler	Steals data from browsers, Telegram.
Twisted	Banking Trojan	Intercepts password input.
Nj-R-A-T	RAT (remote access)	Gives control over the PC.

How do they get into the software?​

• Hacked versions of paid programs (for example, JCOP Tools).
• Fake "carding packs" (Vizey, Diamond).
• Fake keys (keygens).

4. Signs of infected software​

• The file is located in C:\Temp\ or %AppData%\Local\Temp\.
• The antivirus is silent, but:
  • Strange processes appear in Task Manager.
  • Unknown connections in TCPView (Microsoft Sysinternals).
• The program requires disabling the antivirus "to work".

5. What to do if a virus is detected?​

1. Disconnect the Internet (interrupt data transfer).
2. Scan your system (Malwarebytes, HitmanPro).
3. Check your login details:
   • Change your passwords (especially email and bank passwords).
   • Turn on 2FA.
4. Remove the malicious file (use UnHackMe for complex cases).

6. Legal analogues​

For EMV/payment systems analysis:

• pyApduTool (APDU commands).
• GlobalPlatformPro (chip management).
• Qiling Framework (malware analysis).

Important: Carding software contains viruses in 90% of cases. Use only proven tools.
