🕵️The Art of Digital Reconnaissance: A Carder's Guide🕵️
For those who have been following my carding guides across forums, youre familiar with my emphasis on recon before hitting any site. The flood of DMs begging for a deeper dive into this process has finally worn me down. So here we are, about to dissect the art of digital reconnaissance.

This guide is Part 1 of our deep dive into recon. Well cover the basics and give you a taste of the technical approach. In the next installment, well go balls deep into the technical side, showing you how to use tools like Burp Suite and Caido to really understand what youre up against.

Most rookie carders cant wait to test their shiny new cards, itching to rack up orders the moment they score some plastics. Thats an express ticket to getting your transactions blocked and your sorry ass flagged.

Seasoned players understand the real battle happens long before you even think about that checkout button. Its about dissecting your target, understanding its workings and finding the weak spots. What security measures are you up against? Any exploitable flaws in their system? Which strategies have proven effective for others?

This guide is your crash course in mastering digital recon. Dont expect a step by step tutorial on 'Fraud for Dummies.' Were building the skills and mentality needed to analyze potential marks with surgical precision.

Well progress from surface level scans to a brief overview of technical probing. By the time were done with both parts you will be equipped to compile an extensive intel report on any site youre eyeing.

In this game information reigns supreme. The more data you collect the better your odds of a successful hit and the slimmer the chance of getting caught with your defenses down. So sharpen your focus - its time to evolve from fumbling amateur to digital mastermind

Why Recon?​

So why is recon so crucial? Lets break it down. First off, it significantly boosts your success rates. Ive couldnt count how many times Ive witnessed idiots waste high-quality cards trying to brute force their way through a site when a simple recon wouldve revealed they were running extra verification that week due to increased fraud. Thats potentially thousands of dollars down the drain because someone couldnt be bothered to do their homework.

Recon also helps you avoid common pitfalls. Ever tried to card a site only to find out they use 3D Secure on every transaction? Or that they have a hard limit on purchase amounts for new accounts? Thats the kind of shit proper recon uncovers.

But perhaps most importantly, good recon lets you tailor your approach. Every site has its quirks, and one-size-fits-all carding is a recipe for failure. Take Walmart, for example. A surface-level check might show they allow post-purchase address changes. Dig deeper, and youd find out they only allow this for certain product categories. Armed with this knowledge, you can focus on those specific categories, dramatically increasing your chances of a successful hit.

Let me drive this point home with a real-world example. Last month, some cocky bastard in one of my groups decided he was gonna hit a PC parts seller hard because he got lucky a bunch of times from it. He had a fresh batch of 50 cards, premium stuff, costing about $25 per card. Without doing any recon, he fired up his antidetect and started placing orders for high-end GPUs.

The result? 48 declines and cancellations out of 50 attempts. Turns out the site had recently partnered with Signifyd for fraud prevention, and they were scrutinizing high-value electronics orders like a jealous girlfriend checking her mans phone. This dipshit not only wasted more than a thousand dollars worth of cards, but also burned through gigabytes of residential proxies and wasted a good 2 days of his life. All because he couldnt be bothered to spend an hour doing proper recon.

Surface Level Checks​

Alright before we dive into the technical shit,, lets talk about the basics. These surface level checks are your first line of recon and they can save your ass more times than youd think.

Email Verification Loopholes

View attachment 5849

First up, check if you can sign up with any email without verification. This is fucking gold for several reasons. If a site lets you checkout with any email you can use the cardholders email. Why? Because it makes their fraud system cream its pants with joy. 'Oh look, its the same email weve seen a thousand times before! Must be legit!'


To check this just try signing up with a bullshit email. If it lets you proceed without sending a verification link, youre in business. This trick has saved my ass more times than I can count especially on sites with anal fraud detection.

Post-order Address Modification
View attachment 5811

Next is to see if you can change the delivery address after purchase. This is a carders wet dream. You place the order with the cardholders address making billing and shipping match like a good little customer. Then once its approved, you switch that shit to your drop.

To check for this Google 'Change delivery address [SITE NAME]' or hit up Reddit. Look for other peoples experiences. If youre feeling extra thorough, place a cheapass order and try to modify it yourself. No luck? Hit up customer service and ask about changing your delivery address. Their response will tell you everything you need to know.

Customer Service Response Times and Policies

Speaking of customer service, get a feel for how they operate. Are they quick to respond? Do they use tickets or live chat? This info is crucial if you need to pull any postorder shit.

Try reaching out with a bullshit question and see how long it takes them to respond. Note their operating hours too. Nothings worse than having an order hanging in limbo because customer service is out for the day.

Gift Card and Digital Goods Policies
View attachment 5812

If youre looking at gift cards or digital goods, pay extra attention here. Look into their policies on changing the recipients email for these orders. Why? Because just like using the cardholders email for regular orders you can use it for gift card orders too.

The play here is to order the gift card to the cardholders email then switch it to yours once its approved. Amazon is the best example for this trick but plenty of other sites fall for it too.

Remember, these surface level checks are just the appetizer. Theyre quick and easy and can often be done without raising any red flags. But dont stop here. This is just laying the groundwork for the deeper technical probing well get into next.

These checks might seem basic but theyve saved my ass more times than I can count. Dont be the idiot who skips this step and wastes high quality cards on easily avoidable bullshit. Take the time, do the work and set yourself up for success before you even think about hitting that checkout button.

Technical Recon​

Now that weve covered the basics, lets dip our toes into the technical side of recon. At its core technical recon boils down to uncovering two crucial pieces of info: the payment processor and the antifraud system the site implements.

Why does this matter? Because knowing these allows us to customize our approach with surgical precision. Lets say a site uses Stripe. If your cards have been run through other Stripe powered stores (like Shopify), you might want to bench those cards for this hit. Why? Because Stripes got a memory like a fucking elephant and itll flag those cards fast.

Different antifraud systems have different quirks too. Forter for instance, gets a hard on for transaction history. Signifyd on the other hand, treats email addresses like theyre the holy grail. Knowing these quirks can make or break your operation.

View attachment 5816

So how do we uncover this gold mine of info? Weve got three main tools in our toolkit: Caido, Burp Suite and the good old Chrome dev tools (specifically, the Network tab).




View attachment 5815View attachment 5814



These tools let us peek under the hood of a website, showing us the requests and responses flying back and forth between our browser and their system. Its like having Xray vision for websites. We can see what JavaScript theyre injecting into our session, what data were sending their way (like our fingerprint or even our damn mouse movements) and a whole lot more.

Caido and Burp Suite are the big guns here. Theyre full featured interception proxies that give you godlike control over HTTP/S traffic. Chrome dev tools while not as powerful, are built right into your browser and can still reveal a ton of useful shit.

Now I know some of you are probably salivating at the thought of diving deeper into this technical stuff. But hold your horses. Explaining the ins and outs of these tools and how to interpret the data they spit out? Thats a whole other beast. We would be here all day and Ive got better things to do than write a fucking novel.


So heres the deal: were gonna cover all that juicy technical shit in Part 2 of this guide. Well go through each tool, show you how to use them and most importantly, how to interpret what you find. Well dissect real world examples, showing you exactly what to look for when youre doing your own recon.

For now just understand that these tools exist and what they can do for you. Theyre the difference between going in blind and having a fucking blueprint of the sites defenses.

Secondary Sources​

While technical recon gives you the facts secondary sources fill in the gaps with real world intel. This is where you become a digital detective piecing together the puzzle from the web.

First up is to practice your Google fu. Dont just search the company name, dig deeper. Look for annual reports,press releases and tech blogs. These can reveal all sorts of goodies about their payment systems, security updates or even data breaches. A company bragging about their new AI powered fraud detection? Thats your cue to be cautious.


View attachment 5817

Reddit and forums are a gold. Search for the site name plus keywords like order problem, 'fraud' or 'account locked'. You will find a trove of angry customers descirbing their experiences. Look for patterns. If multiple users report getting their accounts locked after changing shipping addresses you know to avoid that trick.

Dont overlook smaller forums either. Sometimes the best intel comes from unexpected places. I once found a major weakness in a big electronics retailers system buried in a thread on a PC building forum.

Social media is your window into customer service practices. Follow the companys twitter and FB. Look at how they respond to complaints. Are they quick to offer refunds? Do they have a dedicated fraud team? This info can be useful when planning your strategy.

Check their job listings too. A company hiring for fraud prevention roles might be tightening up. A company laying off their loss prevention team might be an easy target.

Remember that the goal here isnt just to gather information but to get a full picture of your target. How do they handle disputes? What triggers their fraud alarms? What loopholes have others exploited successfully?

Dont just look at recent posts. Sometimes old information is just as valuable. A companys fraud prevention might have changed but core policies remain the same.

All this takes time and patiecne. But trust me when I say its worth it. Ive seen carders pull off six figure hits because they found one little detail in a year old Reddit comment.

This isnt just about not getting caught - its about crafting the perfect approach. The more you know about your target the more you can customize your approach. Maybe you find out theyre lenient with first time customers or they never check orders under a certain amount. Thats the kind of intel that turns a risky hit into a smooth operation.

So before you even think about placing an order, do your homework. Scour every corner of the internet. Build a profile on your target that would make the CIA jealous. Because in this game information isnt just power - its profit.

Putting It All Together​

Okay, lets bring it full circle. Weve covered the basics of recon, from surface level checks to a little technical probing and digging through secondary sources. But knowing this stuff is only half the story. The real skill is combining all this intel into a strategy

Before you even think about placing an order, compile everything youve learned about your target. Create a pre-hit checklist tailored specifically to the site youre about to hit. This isnt just some box-ticking exercise - its your battle plan.

Your checklist should cover:
* Hidden text: cannot be quoted. *


Remember, recon isnt a one-and-done deal. The carding landscape is always shifting. What worked yesterday might get you flagged today. Stay on your toes, keep your intel fresh, and never stop learning.

In Part 2, well dive deeper into the technical side of recon. Until then, start practicing these techniques. Build your skills, sharpen your instincts, and approach every potential hit like a professional.
Because in this game, the difference between success and failure often comes down to the work you do before you ever touch that checkout button.

Now get out there and start reconing like your money depends on it - because it fucking does. d0ctrine out.​

v good stuff

Social media is your window into customer service practices. Follow the companys twitter and FB. Look at how they respond to complaints. Are they quick to offer refunds? Do they have a dedicated fraud team? This info can be useful when planning your strategy.

Check their job listings too. A company hiring for fraud prevention roles might be tightening up. A company laying off their loss prevention team might be an easy target.

Remember that the goal here isnt just to gather information but to get a full picture of your target. How do they handle disputes? What triggers their fraud alarms? What loopholes have others exploited successfully?

Dont just look at recent posts. Sometimes old information is just as valuable. A companys fraud prevention might have changed but core policies remain the same.

All this takes time and patiecne. But trust me when I say its worth it. Ive seen carders pull off six figure hits because they found one little detail in a year old Reddit comment.

Non si tratta solo di non farsi beccare , ma di elaborare l' approccio perfetto . Più conosci il tuo target, più puoi personalizzare il tuo approccio. Forse scopri che sono indulgenti con i clienti alle prime armi o che non controllano mai gli ordini inferiori a un certo importo. Questo è il tipo di informazioni che trasforma un colpo rischioso in un'operazione senza intoppi .

Quindi, prima ancora di pensare di fare un ordine, fai i compiti. Esplora ogni angolo di Internet. Crea un profilo del tuo obiettivo che farebbe ingelosire la CIA . Perché in questo gioco l'informazione non è solo potere, è profitto .

Mettere tutto insieme​

Ok, chiudiamo il cerchio. Abbiamo trattato le basi della ricognizione, dai controlli di superficie a un po' di indagine tecnica e di ricerca di fonti secondarie. Ma conoscere queste cose è solo metà della storia. La vera abilità è combinare tutte queste informazioni in una strategia.

Prima ancora di pensare di fare un ordine, compila tutto ciò che hai imparato sul tuo target. Crea una checklist pre-hit su misura per il sito che stai per colpire. Non si tratta solo di un esercizio di spunta delle caselle, è il tuo piano di battaglia .

La tua lista di controllo dovrebbe comprendere:
* Testo nascosto: non può essere citato. *


Ricorda, la ricognizione non è un affare una tantum. Il panorama del carding è in continuo cambiamento. Ciò che ha funzionato ieri potrebbe farti smascherare oggi. Rimani in allerta, tieni le tue informazioni aggiornate e non smettere mai di imparare.

Nella Parte 2, approfondiremo il lato tecnico della ricognizione. Nel frattempo, inizia a mettere in pratica queste tecniche. Sviluppa le tue abilità, affina i tuoi istinti e affronta ogni potenziale colpo come un professionista.
Perché in questo gioco la differenza tra successo e fallimento spesso dipende dal lavoro svolto prima ancora di premere il pulsante di pagamento.

Ora esci e inizia a fare i conti come se i tuoi soldi dipendessero da questo, perché è proprio così. Sbarazzati della dottrina.​

🕵️The Art of Digital Reconnaissance: A Carder's Guide🕵️
For those who have been following my carding guides across forums, youre familiar with my emphasis on recon before hitting any site. The flood of DMs begging for a deeper dive into this process has finally worn me down. So here we are, about to dissect the art of digital reconnaissance.

This guide is Part 1 of our deep dive into recon. Well cover the basics and give you a taste of the technical approach. In the next installment, well go balls deep into the technical side, showing you how to use tools like Burp Suite and Caido to really understand what youre up against.

View attachment 5807

Most rookie carders cant wait to test their shiny new cards, itching to rack up orders the moment they score some plastics. Thats an express ticket to getting your transactions blocked and your sorry ass flagged.

View attachment 5842

Seasoned players understand the real battle happens long before you even think about that checkout button. Its about dissecting your target, understanding its workings and finding the weak spots. What security measures are you up against? Any exploitable flaws in their system? Which strategies have proven effective for others?

This guide is your crash course in mastering digital recon. Dont expect a step by step tutorial on 'Fraud for Dummies.' Were building the skills and mentality needed to analyze potential marks with surgical precision.

Well progress from surface level scans to a brief overview of technical probing. By the time were done with both parts you will be equipped to compile an extensive intel report on any site youre eyeing.

In this game information reigns supreme. The more data you collect the better your odds of a successful hit and the slimmer the chance of getting caught with your defenses down. So sharpen your focus - its time to evolve from fumbling amateur to digital mastermind

Why Recon?​

So why is recon so crucial? Lets break it down. First off, it significantly boosts your success rates. Ive couldnt count how many times Ive witnessed idiots waste high-quality cards trying to brute force their way through a site when a simple recon wouldve revealed they were running extra verification that week due to increased fraud. Thats potentially thousands of dollars down the drain because someone couldnt be bothered to do their homework.

Recon also helps you avoid common pitfalls. Ever tried to card a site only to find out they use 3D Secure on every transaction? Or that they have a hard limit on purchase amounts for new accounts? Thats the kind of shit proper recon uncovers.

But perhaps most importantly, good recon lets you tailor your approach. Every site has its quirks, and one-size-fits-all carding is a recipe for failure. Take Walmart, for example. A surface-level check might show they allow post-purchase address changes. Dig deeper, and youd find out they only allow this for certain product categories. Armed with this knowledge, you can focus on those specific categories, dramatically increasing your chances of a successful hit.

Let me drive this point home with a real-world example. Last month, some cocky bastard in one of my groups decided he was gonna hit a PC parts seller hard because he got lucky a bunch of times from it. He had a fresh batch of 50 cards, premium stuff, costing about $25 per card. Without doing any recon, he fired up his antidetect and started placing orders for high-end GPUs.

The result? 48 declines and cancellations out of 50 attempts. Turns out the site had recently partnered with Signifyd for fraud prevention, and they were scrutinizing high-value electronics orders like a jealous girlfriend checking her mans phone. This dipshit not only wasted more than a thousand dollars worth of cards, but also burned through gigabytes of residential proxies and wasted a good 2 days of his life. All because he couldnt be bothered to spend an hour doing proper recon.

Surface Level Checks​

Alright before we dive into the technical shit,, lets talk about the basics. These surface level checks are your first line of recon and they can save your ass more times than youd think.

Email Verification Loopholes

View attachment 5849

First up, check if you can sign up with any email without verification. This is fucking gold for several reasons. If a site lets you checkout with any email you can use the cardholders email. Why? Because it makes their fraud system cream its pants with joy. 'Oh look, its the same email weve seen a thousand times before! Must be legit!'


To check this just try signing up with a bullshit email. If it lets you proceed without sending a verification link, youre in business. This trick has saved my ass more times than I can count especially on sites with anal fraud detection.

Post-order Address Modification
View attachment 5811

Next is to see if you can change the delivery address after purchase. This is a carders wet dream. You place the order with the cardholders address making billing and shipping match like a good little customer. Then once its approved, you switch that shit to your drop.

To check for this Google 'Change delivery address [SITE NAME]' or hit up Reddit. Look for other peoples experiences. If youre feeling extra thorough, place a cheapass order and try to modify it yourself. No luck? Hit up customer service and ask about changing your delivery address. Their response will tell you everything you need to know.

Customer Service Response Times and Policies

Speaking of customer service, get a feel for how they operate. Are they quick to respond? Do they use tickets or live chat? This info is crucial if you need to pull any postorder shit.

Try reaching out with a bullshit question and see how long it takes them to respond. Note their operating hours too. Nothings worse than having an order hanging in limbo because customer service is out for the day.

Gift Card and Digital Goods Policies
View attachment 5812

If youre looking at gift cards or digital goods, pay extra attention here. Look into their policies on changing the recipients email for these orders. Why? Because just like using the cardholders email for regular orders you can use it for gift card orders too.

The play here is to order the gift card to the cardholders email then switch it to yours once its approved. Amazon is the best example for this trick but plenty of other sites fall for it too.

Remember, these surface level checks are just the appetizer. Theyre quick and easy and can often be done without raising any red flags. But dont stop here. This is just laying the groundwork for the deeper technical probing well get into next.

These checks might seem basic but theyve saved my ass more times than I can count. Dont be the idiot who skips this step and wastes high quality cards on easily avoidable bullshit. Take the time, do the work and set yourself up for success before you even think about hitting that checkout button.

Technical Recon​

Now that weve covered the basics, lets dip our toes into the technical side of recon. At its core technical recon boils down to uncovering two crucial pieces of info: the payment processor and the antifraud system the site implements.

Why does this matter? Because knowing these allows us to customize our approach with surgical precision. Lets say a site uses Stripe. If your cards have been run through other Stripe powered stores (like Shopify), you might want to bench those cards for this hit. Why? Because Stripes got a memory like a fucking elephant and itll flag those cards fast.

Different antifraud systems have different quirks too. Forter for instance, gets a hard on for transaction history. Signifyd on the other hand, treats email addresses like theyre the holy grail. Knowing these quirks can make or break your operation.

View attachment 5816

So how do we uncover this gold mine of info? Weve got three main tools in our toolkit: Caido, Burp Suite and the good old Chrome dev tools (specifically, the Network tab).




View attachment 5815View attachment 5814



These tools let us peek under the hood of a website, showing us the requests and responses flying back and forth between our browser and their system. Its like having Xray vision for websites. We can see what JavaScript theyre injecting into our session, what data were sending their way (like our fingerprint or even our damn mouse movements) and a whole lot more.

Caido and Burp Suite are the big guns here. Theyre full featured interception proxies that give you godlike control over HTTP/S traffic. Chrome dev tools while not as powerful, are built right into your browser and can still reveal a ton of useful shit.

Now I know some of you are probably salivating at the thought of diving deeper into this technical stuff. But hold your horses. Explaining the ins and outs of these tools and how to interpret the data they spit out? Thats a whole other beast. We would be here all day and Ive got better things to do than write a fucking novel.


So heres the deal: were gonna cover all that juicy technical shit in Part 2 of this guide. Well go through each tool, show you how to use them and most importantly, how to interpret what you find. Well dissect real world examples, showing you exactly what to look for when youre doing your own recon.

For now just understand that these tools exist and what they can do for you. Theyre the difference between going in blind and having a fucking blueprint of the sites defenses.

Secondary Sources​

While technical recon gives you the facts secondary sources fill in the gaps with real world intel. This is where you become a digital detective piecing together the puzzle from the web.

First up is to practice your Google fu. Dont just search the company name, dig deeper. Look for annual reports,press releases and tech blogs. These can reveal all sorts of goodies about their payment systems, security updates or even data breaches. A company bragging about their new AI powered fraud detection? Thats your cue to be cautious.


View attachment 5817

Reddit and forums are a gold. Search for the site name plus keywords like order problem, 'fraud' or 'account locked'. You will find a trove of angry customers descirbing their experiences. Look for patterns. If multiple users report getting their accounts locked after changing shipping addresses you know to avoid that trick.

Dont overlook smaller forums either. Sometimes the best intel comes from unexpected places. I once found a major weakness in a big electronics retailers system buried in a thread on a PC building forum.

Social media is your window into customer service practices. Follow the companys twitter and FB. Look at how they respond to complaints. Are they quick to offer refunds? Do they have a dedicated fraud team? This info can be useful when planning your strategy.

All this takes time and patiecne. But trust me when I say its worth it. Ive seen carders pull off six figure hits because they found one little detail in a year old Reddit comment.

Đây không chỉ là việc không bị bắt - mà là việc tạo ra cách tiếp cận hoàn hảo . Bạn càng biết nhiều về mục tiêu của mình thì bạn càng có thể tùy chỉnh cách tiếp cận của mình. Có thể bạn phát hiện ra rằng họ dễ dãi với những khách hàng lần đầu hoặc họ không bao giờ kiểm tra đơn hàng dưới một số tiền nhất định. Đó là loại thông tin tình báo biến một cú đánh rủi ro thành một hoạt động suôn sẻ .

Vì vậy, trước khi bạn nghĩ đến việc đặt hàng, hãy làm bài tập về nhà. Tìm kiếm mọi ngóc ngách trên internet. Xây dựng hồ sơ về mục tiêu của bạn khiến CIA phải ghen tị. Bởi vì trong trò chơi này, thông tin không chỉ là quyền lực - mà còn là lợi nhuận .

Kết hợp tất cả lại với nhau​

Được rồi, hãy quay lại vòng tròn đầy đủ. Chúng ta đã đề cập đến những điều cơ bản của trinh sát, từ kiểm tra bề mặt đến một chút thăm dò kỹ thuật và đào bới các nguồn thứ cấp. Nhưng biết những thứ này chỉ là một nửa câu chuyện. Kỹ năng thực sự là kết hợp tất cả thông tin tình báo này thành một chiến lược

Trước khi bạn nghĩ đến việc đặt hàng, hãy tổng hợp mọi thứ bạn đã học được về mục tiêu của mình. Tạo danh sách kiểm tra trước khi tấn công được thiết kế riêng cho trang web bạn sắp tấn công. Đây không chỉ là bài tập đánh dấu ô - mà là kế hoạch chiến đấu của bạn .

Danh sách kiểm tra của bạn phải bao gồm:
* Văn bản ẩn: không thể trích dẫn. *


Hãy nhớ rằng, trinh sát không phải là một thỏa thuận một lần rồi thôi. Bối cảnh đánh bài luôn thay đổi. Những gì hiệu quả ngày hôm qua có thể khiến bạn bị đánh dấu ngày hôm nay. Hãy luôn cảnh giác, giữ cho thông tin tình báo của bạn luôn mới mẻ và không bao giờ ngừng học hỏi.

Trong Phần 2, chúng ta sẽ đi sâu hơn vào khía cạnh kỹ thuật của trinh sát. Cho đến lúc đó, hãy bắt đầu thực hành các kỹ thuật này. Xây dựng kỹ năng của bạn, mài giũa bản năng của bạn và tiếp cận mọi cú đánh tiềm năng như một người chuyên nghiệp.
Bởi vì trong trò chơi này, sự khác biệt giữa thành công và thất bại thường phụ thuộc vào công việc bạn làm trước khi nhấn nút thanh toán.

Bây giờ hãy ra ngoài và bắt đầu trinh sát như thể tiền của bạn phụ thuộc vào nó - bởi vì nó thực sự như vậy.​

All this takes time and patiecne. But trust me when I say its worth it. Ive seen carders pull off six figure hits because they found one little detail in a year old Reddit comment.

This isnt just about not getting caught - its about crafting the perfect approach. The more you know about your target the more you can customize your approach. Maybe you find out theyre lenient with first time customers or they never check orders under a certain amount. Thats the kind of intel that turns a risky hit into a smooth operation.

So before you even think about placing an order, do your homework. Scour every corner of the internet. Build a profile on your target that would make the CIA jealous. Because in this game information isnt just power - its profit.

Putting It All Together​

Okay, lets bring it full circle. Weve covered the basics of recon, from surface level checks to a little technical probing and digging through secondary sources. But knowing this stuff is only half the story. The real skill is combining all this intel into a strategy

Before you even think about placing an order, compile everything youve learned about your target. Create a pre-hit checklist tailored specifically to the site youre about to hit. This isnt just some box-ticking exercise - its your battle plan.

Your checklist should cover:
* Hidden text: cannot be quoted. *


Remember, recon isnt a one-and-done deal. The carding landscape is always shifting. What worked yesterday might get you flagged today. Stay on your toes, keep your intel fresh, and never stop learning.

In Part 2, well dive deeper into the technical side of recon. Until then, start practicing these techniques. Build your skills, sharpen your instincts, and approach every potential hit like a professional.
Because in this game, the difference between success and failure often comes down to the work you do before you ever touch that checkout button.

Now get out there and start reconing like your money depends on it - because it fucking does. d0ctrine out.​

ok

These checks might seem basic but theyve saved my ass more times than I can count. Dont be the idiot who skips this step and wastes high quality cards on easily avoidable bullshit. Take the time, do the work and set yourself up for success before you even think about hitting that checkout button.

Technical Recon​

Now that weve covered the basics, lets dip our toes into the technical side of recon. At its core technical recon boils down to uncovering two crucial pieces of info: the payment processor and the antifraud system the site implements.

Why does this matter? Because knowing these allows us to customize our approach with surgical precision. Lets say a site uses Stripe. If your cards have been run through other Stripe powered stores (like Shopify), you might want to bench those cards for this hit. Why? Because Stripes got a memory like a fucking elephant and itll flag those cards fast.

Different antifraud systems have different quirks too. Forter for instance, gets a hard on for transaction history. Signifyd on the other hand, treats email addresses like theyre the holy grail. Knowing these quirks can make or break your operation.

So how do we uncover this gold mine of info? Weve got three main tools in our toolkit: Caido, Burp Suite and the good old Chrome dev tools (specifically, the Network tab).




View attachment 5815View attachment 5814



These tools let us peek under the hood of a website, showing us the requests and responses flying back and forth between our browser and their system. Its like having Xray vision for websites. We can see what JavaScript theyre injecting into our session, what data were sending their way (like our fingerprint or even our damn mouse movements) and a whole lot more.

Caido and Burp Suite are the big guns here. Theyre full featured interception proxies that give you godlike control over HTTP/S traffic. Chrome dev tools while not as powerful, are built right into your browser and can still reveal a ton of useful shit.

Now I know some of you are probably salivating at the thought of diving deeper into this technical stuff. But hold your horses. Explaining the ins and outs of these tools and how to interpret the data they spit out? Thats a whole other beast. We would be here all day and Ive got better things to do than write a fucking novel.


So heres the deal: were gonna cover all that juicy technical shit in Part 2 of this guide. Well go through each tool, show you how to use them and most importantly, how to interpret what you find. Well dissect real world examples, showing you exactly what to look for when youre doing your own recon.

For now just understand that these tools exist and what they can do for you. Theyre the difference between going in blind and having a fucking blueprint of the sites defenses.

Trong khi trinh sát kỹ thuật cung cấp cho bạn sự thật, các nguồn thứ cấp lấp đầy khoảng trống với thông tin tình báo trong thế giới thực. Đây là nơi bạn trở thành một thám tử kỹ thuật số ghép câu đố từ web.

Đầu tiên là thực hành Google fu của bạn. Đừng chỉ tìm kiếm tên công ty, hãy tìm hiểu sâu hơn. Tìm báo cáo hàng năm, thông cáo báo chí và blog công nghệ. Những điều này có thể tiết lộ tất cả các loại tốt về hệ thống thanh toán, cập nhật bảo mật hoặc thậm chí vi phạm dữ liệu của họ. Một công ty khoe khoang về khả năng phát hiện gian lận do AI hỗ trợ mới của họ? Đó là gợi ý của bạn để thận trọng.


View attachment 5817

Reddit và diễn đàn là một vàng. Tìm kiếm tên trang web cộng với các từ khóa như vấn đề đặt hàng, 'gian lận' hoặc 'tài khoản bị khóa'. Bạn sẽ tìm thấy một kho khách hàng tức giận đang mô tả trải nghiệm của họ. Tìm kiếm các mẫu. Nếu nhiều người dùng báo cáo bị khóa tài khoản của họ sau khi thay đổi địa chỉ giao hàng, bạn biết cách tránh thủ thuật đó.

Đừng bỏ qua các diễn đàn nhỏ hơn. Đôi khi thông tin tốt nhất đến từ những nơi bất ngờ. Tôi đã từng tìm thấy một điểm yếu lớn trong một hệ thống bán lẻ điện tử lớn bị chôn vùi trong một chủ đề trên một diễn đàn xây dựng PC.

Phương tiện truyền thông xã hội là cửa sổ của bạn vào các hoạt động dịch vụ khách hàng. Theo dõi twitter và FB của các công ty. Hãy xem cách họ phản ứng với các khiếu nại. Họ có nhanh chóng hoàn lại tiền không? Họ có một nhóm gian lận chuyên dụng không? Thông tin này có thể hữu ích khi lập kế hoạch chiến lược của bạn.

Kiểm tra danh sách việc làm của họ. Một công ty tuyển dụng cho các vai trò phòng chống gian lận có thể đang thắt chặt. Một công ty sa thải đội ngũ phòng chống tổn thất của họ có thể là một mục tiêu dễ dàng.

Hãy nhớ rằng mục tiêu ở đây không chỉ là thu thập thông tin mà còn để có được bức tranh đầy đủ về mục tiêu của bạn. Họ xử lý tranh chấp như thế nào? Điều gì kích hoạt cảnh báo gian lận của họ? Những lỗ hổng nào đã khai thác thành công?

Đừng chỉ nhìn vào các bài viết gần đây. Đôi khi thông tin cũ cũng có giá trị như vậy. Phòng chống gian lận của một công ty có thể đã thay đổi nhưng các chính sách cốt lõi vẫn giữ nguyên.

Tất cả những điều này cần có thời gian và thời gian. Nhưng hãy tin tôi khi tôi nói nó xứng đáng. Tôi đã thấy những người chơi thẻ đạt được sáu con số vì họ tìm thấy một chi tiết nhỏ trong bình luận Reddit một năm tuổi.

Đây không chỉ là việc không bị bắt - mà còn về việc tạo ra cách tiếp cận hoàn hảo. Bạn càng biết nhiều về mục tiêu của mình, bạn càng có thể tùy chỉnh cách tiếp cận của mình. Có thể bạn phát hiện ra rằng họ khoan dung với khách hàng lần đầu hoặc họ không bao giờ kiểm tra đơn đặt hàng dưới một số tiền nhất định. Đó là loại thông tin biến một cú đánh mạo hiểm thành một hoạt động suôn sẻ.

Vì vậy, trước khi bạn nghĩ đến việc đặt hàng, hãy làm bài tập về nhà của bạn. Lùng sục mọi ngóc ngách của internet. Xây dựng một hồ sơ về mục tiêu của bạn sẽ khiến CIA ghen tị. Bởi trong trò chơi này, thông tin không chỉ là sức mạnh - lợi nhuận của nó.

Kết hợp tất cả lại với nhau​

Được rồi, chúng ta hãy mang nó một vòng tròn đầy đủ. Chúng tôi đã đề cập đến những điều cơ bản về trinh sát, từ kiểm tra bề mặt đến thăm dò kỹ thuật nhỏ và đào sâu qua các nguồn thứ cấp. Nhưng biết những thứ này chỉ là một nửa câu chuyện. Kỹ năng thực sự là kết hợp tất cả thông tin này thành một chiến lược

Trước khi bạn nghĩ đến việc đặt lệnh, hãy tổng hợp mọi thứ bạn đã học được về mục tiêu của mình. Tạo danh sách kiểm tra trước lượt truy cập được điều chỉnh cụ thể cho trang web bạn sắp truy cập. Đây không chỉ là một bài tập đánh dấu hộp - đó là kế hoạch chiến đấu của bạn.

Danh sách kiểm tra của bạn nên bao gồm:
Văn bản ẩn: không thể trích dẫn. ***


Hãy nhớ rằng, trinh sát không phải là một thỏa thuận một lần và xong. Bối cảnh chải thô luôn thay đổi. Những gì hiệu quả ngày hôm qua có thể khiến bạn bị gắn cờ hôm nay. Hãy luôn tự tin, giữ cho thông tin của bạn luôn mới mẻ và không bao giờ ngừng học hỏi.

Trong Phần 2, hãy đi sâu hơn vào khía cạnh kỹ thuật của trinh sát. Cho đến lúc đó, hãy bắt đầu thực hành các kỹ thuật này. Xây dựng kỹ năng của bạn, mài giũa bản năng của bạn và tiếp cận mọi cú đánh tiềm năng như một người chuyên nghiệp.
Bởi vì trong trò chơi này, sự khác biệt giữa thành công và thất bại thường phụ thuộc vào công việc bạn làm trước khi chạm vào nút thanh toán đó.

Bây giờ hãy ra ngoài đó và bắt đầu trinh sát như tiền của bạn phụ thuộc vào nó - bởi vì nó chết tiệt. d0ctrine ra.​

🕵️The Art of Digital Reconnaissance: A Carder's Guide🕵️
For those who have been following my carding guides across forums, youre familiar with my emphasis on recon before hitting any site. The flood of DMs begging for a deeper dive into this process has finally worn me down. So here we are, about to dissect the art of digital reconnaissance.

This guide is Part 1 of our deep dive into recon. Well cover the basics and give you a taste of the technical approach. In the next installment, well go balls deep into the technical side, showing you how to use tools like Burp Suite and Caido to really understand what youre up against.

View attachment 5807

Most rookie carders cant wait to test their shiny new cards, itching to rack up orders the moment they score some plastics. Thats an express ticket to getting your transactions blocked and your sorry ass flagged.

View attachment 5842

Seasoned players understand the real battle happens long before you even think about that checkout button. Its about dissecting your target, understanding its workings and finding the weak spots. What security measures are you up against? Any exploitable flaws in their system? Which strategies have proven effective for others?

This guide is your crash course in mastering digital recon. Dont expect a step by step tutorial on 'Fraud for Dummies.' Were building the skills and mentality needed to analyze potential marks with surgical precision.

Well progress from surface level scans to a brief overview of technical probing. By the time were done with both parts you will be equipped to compile an extensive intel report on any site youre eyeing.

In this game information reigns supreme. The more data you collect the better your odds of a successful hit and the slimmer the chance of getting caught with your defenses down. So sharpen your focus - its time to evolve from fumbling amateur to digital mastermind

Why Recon?​

So why is recon so crucial? Lets break it down. First off, it significantly boosts your success rates. Ive couldnt count how many times Ive witnessed idiots waste high-quality cards trying to brute force their way through a site when a simple recon wouldve revealed they were running extra verification that week due to increased fraud. Thats potentially thousands of dollars down the drain because someone couldnt be bothered to do their homework.

Recon also helps you avoid common pitfalls. Ever tried to card a site only to find out they use 3D Secure on every transaction? Or that they have a hard limit on purchase amounts for new accounts? Thats the kind of shit proper recon uncovers.

But perhaps most importantly, good recon lets you tailor your approach. Every site has its quirks, and one-size-fits-all carding is a recipe for failure. Take Walmart, for example. A surface-level check might show they allow post-purchase address changes. Dig deeper, and youd find out they only allow this for certain product categories. Armed with this knowledge, you can focus on those specific categories, dramatically increasing your chances of a successful hit.

Let me drive this point home with a real-world example. Last month, some cocky bastard in one of my groups decided he was gonna hit a PC parts seller hard because he got lucky a bunch of times from it. He had a fresh batch of 50 cards, premium stuff, costing about $25 per card. Without doing any recon, he fired up his antidetect and started placing orders for high-end GPUs.

The result? 48 declines and cancellations out of 50 attempts. Turns out the site had recently partnered with Signifyd for fraud prevention, and they were scrutinizing high-value electronics orders like a jealous girlfriend checking her mans phone. This dipshit not only wasted more than a thousand dollars worth of cards, but also burned through gigabytes of residential proxies and wasted a good 2 days of his life. All because he couldnt be bothered to spend an hour doing proper recon.

Surface Level Checks​

Alright before we dive into the technical shit,, lets talk about the basics. These surface level checks are your first line of recon and they can save your ass more times than youd think.

Email Verification Loopholes

View attachment 5849

First up, check if you can sign up with any email without verification. This is fucking gold for several reasons. If a site lets you checkout with any email you can use the cardholders email. Why? Because it makes their fraud system cream its pants with joy. 'Oh look, its the same email weve seen a thousand times before! Must be legit!'


To check this just try signing up with a bullshit email. If it lets you proceed without sending a verification link, youre in business. This trick has saved my ass more times than I can count especially on sites with anal fraud detection.

Post-order Address Modification
View attachment 5811

Next is to see if you can change the delivery address after purchase. This is a carders wet dream. You place the order with the cardholders address making billing and shipping match like a good little customer. Then once its approved, you switch that shit to your drop.

To check for this Google 'Change delivery address [SITE NAME]' or hit up Reddit. Look for other peoples experiences. If youre feeling extra thorough, place a cheapass order and try to modify it yourself. No luck? Hit up customer service and ask about changing your delivery address. Their response will tell you everything you need to know.

Customer Service Response Times and Policies

Speaking of customer service, get a feel for how they operate. Are they quick to respond? Do they use tickets or live chat? This info is crucial if you need to pull any postorder shit.

Try reaching out with a bullshit question and see how long it takes them to respond. Note their operating hours too. Nothings worse than having an order hanging in limbo because customer service is out for the day.

Gift Card and Digital Goods Policies
View attachment 5812

If youre looking at gift cards or digital goods, pay extra attention here. Look into their policies on changing the recipients email for these orders. Why? Because just like using the cardholders email for regular orders you can use it for gift card orders too.

The play here is to order the gift card to the cardholders email then switch it to yours once its approved. Amazon is the best example for this trick but plenty of other sites fall for it too.

Remember, these surface level checks are just the appetizer. Theyre quick and easy and can often be done without raising any red flags. But dont stop here. This is just laying the groundwork for the deeper technical probing well get into next.

These checks might seem basic but theyve saved my ass more times than I can count. Dont be the idiot who skips this step and wastes high quality cards on easily avoidable bullshit. Take the time, do the work and set yourself up for success before you even think about hitting that checkout button.

Now that weve covered the basics, lets dip our toes into the technical side of recon. At its core technical recon boils down to uncovering two crucial pieces of info: the payment processor and the antifraud system the site implements.

Why does this matter? Because knowing these allows us to customize our approach with surgical precision. Lets say a site uses Stripe. If your cards have been run through other Stripe powered stores (like Shopify), you might want to bench those cards for this hit. Why? Because Stripes got a memory like a fucking elephant and itll flag those cards fast.

Different antifraud systems have different quirks too. Forter for instance, gets a hard on for transaction history. Signifyd on the other hand, treats email addresses like theyre the holy grail. Knowing these quirks can make or break your operation.

Well dissect real world examples, showing you exactly what to look for when youre doing your own recon.

For now just understand that these tools exist and what they can do for you. Theyre the difference between going in blind and having a fucking blueprint of the sites defenses.

Secondary Sources​

While technical recon gives you the facts secondary sources fill in the gaps with real world intel. This is where you become a digital detective piecing together the puzzle from the web.

First up is to practice your Google fu. Dont just search the company name, dig deeper. Look for annual reports,press releases and tech blogs. These can reveal all sorts of goodies about their payment systems, security updates or even data breaches. A company bragging about their new AI powered fraud detection? Thats your cue to be cautious.


View attachment 5817

Reddit and forums are a gold. Search for the site name plus keywords like order problem, 'fraud' or 'account locked'. You will find a trove of angry customers descirbing their experiences. Look for patterns. If multiple users report getting their accounts locked after changing shipping addresses you know to avoid that trick.

Dont overlook smaller forums either. Sometimes the best intel comes from unexpected places. I once found a major weakness in a big electronics retailers system buried in a thread on a PC building forum.

Social media is your window into customer service practices. Follow the companys twitter and FB. Look at how they respond to complaints. Are they quick to offer refunds? Do they have a dedicated fraud team? This info can be useful when planning your strategy.

Check their job listings too. A company hiring for fraud prevention roles might be tightening up. A company laying off their loss prevention team might be an easy target.

Remember that the goal here isnt just to gather information but to get a full picture of your target. How do they handle disputes? What triggers their fraud alarms? What loopholes have others exploited successfully?

Dont just look at recent posts. Sometimes old information is just as valuable. A companys fraud prevention might have changed but core policies remain the same.

All this takes time and patiecne. But trust me when I say its worth it. Ive seen carders pull off six figure hits because they found one little detail in a year old Reddit comment.

This isnt just about not getting caught - its about crafting the perfect approach. The more you know about your target the more you can customize your approach. Maybe you find out theyre lenient with first time customers or they never check orders under a certain amount. Thats the kind of intel that turns a risky hit into a smooth operation.

So before you even think about placing an order, do your homework. Scour every corner of the internet. Build a profile on your target that would make the CIA jealous. Because in this game information isnt just power - its profit.

Putting It All Together​

Okay, lets bring it full circle. Weve covered the basics of recon, from surface level checks to a little technical probing and digging through secondary sources. But knowing this stuff is only half the story. The real skill is combining all this intel into a strategy

Before you even think about placing an order, compile everything youve learned about your target. Create a pre-hit checklist tailored specifically to the site youre about to hit. This isnt just some box-ticking exercise - its your battle plan.

Your checklist should cover:
* Hidden text: cannot be quoted. *


Remember, recon isnt a one-and-done deal. The carding landscape is always shifting. What worked yesterday might get you flagged today. Stay on your toes, keep your intel fresh, and never stop learning.

In Part 2, well dive deeper into the technical side of recon. Until then, start practicing these techniques. Build your skills, sharpen your instincts, and approach every potential hit like a professional.
Because in this game, the difference between success and failure often comes down to the work you do before you ever touch that checkout button.

Now get out there and start reconing like your money depends on it - because it fucking does. d0ctrine out.​

这不仅仅是为了不被抓住——而是要制定完美的方法。你对目标了解得越多，你就越能定制你的方法。也许你会发现他们对首次光顾的客户很宽容，或者他们从不检查一定金额以下的订单。这就是将冒险的打击变成顺利行动的情报。

因此，在您考虑下订单之前，请先做好功课。搜索互联网的每个角落。为您的目标建立一个让CIA嫉妒的档案。因为在这个游戏中，信息不仅仅是力量——它还是利润。

综合起来​

好吧，让我们回到正题。我们已经介绍了侦察的基本知识，从表面检查到一点技术探索和挖掘二手资料。但了解这些只是故事的一半。真正的技巧是将所有这些情报结合成一个战略

在您考虑下订单之前，请汇总您对目标的所有了解。创建一个专门针对您即将访问的网站的预访问清单。这不仅仅是一些勾选框的练习 - 这是您的作战计划。

您的清单应该涵盖：
* 隐藏文字：无法引用。*


请记住，侦察不是一次性的事情。卡片格局总是在变化。昨天奏效的方法今天可能会让你受到警告。保持警惕，保持情报新鲜，永远不要停止学习。

在第 2 部分中，我们将深入探讨侦察的技术方面。在此之前，请开始练习这些技术。培养技能，磨练直觉，像专业人士一样应对每一次潜在的打击。
因为在这个游戏中，成功与失败的区别往往取决于你在触摸结账按钮之前所做的工作。

现在就开始思考，你的钱是否依赖于它 - 因为它确实如此。d0ctrine out。LIKE​
