Virtual Isolation with VMs

---

Remember our guide on hosting untraceable .onion sites? That was about running dedicated servers through RDP and SSH. But today were bringing that paranoid mindset home - literally. Were talking about running isolated VMs right on your own hardware because sometimes you need a secure environment without dealing with remote servers.

​

VMs: Your Digital Airlocks



Think of VMs like hazmat suits for your fraud operations. Just like how our .onion setup kept the server isolated from the clearnet VMs create a sealed environment where you can run your shit without contaminating your main system. And heres the beautiful part - when those feds come crashing through your door at 4 AM with a battering ram one quick press of the power button and your entire operation vanishes into the digital void. No evidence no traces just a blank hard drive thatll have the forensics team pulling their hair out.



But heres the real shit most guides wont tell you: Just running a VM isnt enough. You need proper isolation that makes our server lockdown from the .onion guide look like childs play. Why? Because this time the threat isnt just from the outside - its from your own hardware.

Why Isolation Matters:

Two scenarios thatll fuck you without proper isolation:

• That sketchy card checker you downloaded is packed with RATs and now some script kiddie is scrolling through your personal photos, crypto wallets, and documents.
• The feds kick down your door at 4 AM. Sees all the cards and logs you bought online. You get sent to Guantanamo.

VMs create a completely separate environment for your operations. Think of it as a digital burner phone that exists only in memory - when youre done it vanishes without leaving breadcrumbs back to your main system.



For carders isolation means:

• Complete separation between personal and fraud activities
• Protection from malware in sketchy tools
• Different VMs for different operations (US drops EU drops etc)
• Quick destruction of evidence under pressure
• No cross-contamination between "work" and real life

Most idiots get caught by mixing personal and fraud activities on one system. A single infected file or subpoena is all it takes. With proper VM isolation your main system stays clean while your "business" stays contained in disposable environments.

Each VM is a separate identity you can nuke instantly. When things get hot destroy the environment and spin up fresh ones. No digital forensics team can track what doesnt exist.

The Paranoids Guide

Lets get your digital panic room set up properly. Well use VMware Workstation Pro since it offers better isolation and security features than VirtualBox. Yeah VMware costs money but youre a carder - card it instead. If youre too broke or dumb to card it VirtualBox works as a free alternative just with fewer security features.


1. Base System Preparation

First nuke your host system. I mean completely wipe it - format that bitch to factory settings. Your host system should be cleaner than a Mormons browser history. No personal files no saved passwords nothing that links back to you.

Download and install VMware Workstation Pro (current version 17.x). During installation when it asks about system updates and user experience programs disable that shit. We dont need VMware phoning home.



Next hit your BIOS/UEFI settings (usually F2 or Del during boot):

• Enable Intel VT-x/AMD-V virtualization
• Enable Intel VT-d/AMD-Vi if available
• Disable Secure Boot
• Set a BIOS password while youre there

For VM storage were using VeraCrypt:

• Download VeraCrypt
• Create a new encrypted container (at least 100GB)
• Use AES-Twofish-Serpent cascade encryption
• Set a strong password you wont forget
• Mount this container whenever you need to run your VMs

2. OS Selection and VM Setup
While there are more secure operating systems out there were using Windows for our carding VM. Why? Because most fraud tools are built for Windows and compatibility matters when youre trying to run these tools.

Get yourself a debloated Windows 11 ISO. Debloating means stripping out all the Microsoft spyware bullshit - telemetry Cortana Windows Defender automatic updates and other phone-home features. You can find these ISOs on forums or make your own using scripts like Windows11Debloat on the guest system. The goal is a clean Windows install that doesnt talk to Microsofts servers.

Creating the VM:

• New Virtual Machine > Custom
• Choose "I will install the operating system later"
• Select Windows 11 x64
• Name it something boring like "Work Environment"
• Store it in your VeraCrypt container

Hardware Configuration:

• Allocate 4 CPU cores minimum
• 8GB RAM (fixed allocation)
• 80GB disk space (pre-allocated)
• Disable 3D acceleration
• Remove sound card
• Remove printer connections
• Remove USB controller
• Set network adapter to NAT only

3. Windows Installation and Hardening

• If you have debloated the iso before installation, mount it, if not mount the standard ISO and debloat it after.
• DO NOT connect to the internet during installation
• Create a local account only - no Microsoft account
• Once installed immediately run the debloater or:
  • Disable Windows Update Service
  • Block all Windows ports in firewall
  • Install VMware Tools (needed for stability)
  • Disable all sharing features
  • Turn off all Windows features except basic networking

4. Network Security Setup

Layer your security like a paranoid onion:

1. Host System:

• Install Mullvad VPN (they take crypto and dont log)
• Configure lockdown mode
• Block all IPv6 traffic

2. VM Network:

• Set static MAC address (change it weekly)
• Configure VM to only use NAT
• Install a second VPN inside the VM (different provider)

Emergency Protocols: Locking & Nuking

When shit hits the fan and you hear those heavy knocks you need instant nuclear options. Heres how to set up your panic buttons:

Quick-Nuke Batch Files:
Create two batch files on your host machine:

1. lock.bat (Dismounts and locks VeraCrypt container):
@echo off
REM Force dismount all VeraCrypt volumes
"C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /dismount /force /silent
REM Clear RAM to prevent cold boot attacks
"C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /wipecache /silent
exit

Final Thoughts

Setting up a secure VM isnt just about installing some software and calling it a day. Its about creating a digital panic room that keeps your ass safe when everything goes sideways. And trust me in this line of work shit will eventually hit the fan.

Think of your VM setup like a digital bug-out bag. When those red and blue lights start flashing outside your window you dont want to be scrambling around trying to remember which files to nuke first. Your emergency protocols should be muscle memory - one click and everything burns.

But heres the real shit: the best security setup is worthless if you get lazy with it. Ive seen too many carders get caught not because their setup was trash but because they got comfortable. Started checking their personal email in their "secure" VM. Forgot to fire up their VPN. Small mistakes big consequences.

Remember:

• Your VM is a burner phone not your personal iPhone
• Those batch files arent decoration - test them regularly
• If something feels off nuke first ask questions later

Until then stay frosty and keep your nuke buttons close.

d0ctrine out.

2. OS Selection and VM Setup
Si bien existen sistemas operativos más seguros, usamos Windows para nuestra máquina virtual de cardado. ¿Por qué? Porque la mayoría de las herramientas de fraude están diseñadas para Windows y la compatibilidad es importante cuando intentas ejecutar estas herramientas.

Consigue una ISO de Windows 11 desbloatizada . Desbloatizar significa quitar todo el software espía de Microsoft : telemetría, Cortana, actualizaciones automáticas de Windows Defender y otras funciones de llamada a casa. Puedes encontrar estas ISO en foros o crear las tuyas propias usando scripts como Windows11Debloat en el sistema invitado. El objetivo es una instalación limpia de Windows que no se comunique con los servidores de Microsoft.

Creando la VM:
View attachment 48767

• Nueva máquina virtual > Personalizada
• Seleccione "Instalaré el sistema operativo más tarde"
• Seleccione Windows 11 x64
• Ponle un nombre aburrido como "Ambiente de trabajo".
• Guárdelo en su contenedor VeraCrypt

Configuración de hardware:

• Asignar un mínimo de 4 núcleos de CPU
• 8 GB de RAM (asignación fija)
• 80 GB de espacio en disco (preasignado)
• Desactivar la aceleración 3D
• Quitar la tarjeta de sonido
• Quitar conexiones de impresora
• Quitar el controlador USB
• Configurar el adaptador de red solo para NAT

3. Instalación y fortalecimiento de Windows

• Si ha desinflado la ISO antes de la instalación, móntela; si no, monte la ISO estándar y desinflada después.
• NO se conecte a Internet durante la instalación
• Cree solo una cuenta local , no una cuenta Microsoft
• Una vez instalado, ejecute inmediatamente el desbloater o:
  • Deshabilitar el servicio de actualización de Windows
  • Bloquear todos los puertos de Windows en el firewall
  • Instalar VMware Tools (necesario para la estabilidad)
  • Desactivar todas las funciones para compartir
  • Desactive todas las funciones de Windows excepto las redes básicas

4. Configuración de seguridad de la red

Capa por capa tu seguridad como una cebolla paranoica:

1. Sistema anfitrión:

• Instalar Mullvad VPN (aceptan criptomonedas y no registran)
• Configurar el modo de bloqueo
• Bloquear todo el tráfico IPv6

2. Red de máquinas virtuales:

View attachment 48769

• Establecer una dirección MAC estática (cámbiela semanalmente)
• Configurar la máquina virtual para utilizar únicamente NAT
• Instalar una segunda VPN dentro de la VM (proveedor diferente)

Protocolos de emergencia: bloqueo y ataque nuclear

Cuando la cosa se pone fea y se oyen fuertes golpes, se necesitan opciones nucleares instantáneas. Aquí se explica cómo configurar los botones de pánico:

Archivos por lotes de Quick-Nuke:
Cree dos archivos por lotes en su máquina host:

[código]1. lock.bat (desmonta y bloquea el contenedor de VeraCrypt):
@eco apagado
REM Fuerza el desmontaje de todos los volúmenes de VeraCrypt
"C:\Archivos de programa\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /desmontar /fuerza /silencio
REM Limpia la RAM para evitar ataques de arranque en frío
"C:\Archivos de programa\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /wipecache /silent
salir[/código]


***Texto oculto: no se puede citar.***


Reflexiones finales

Configurar una máquina virtual segura no consiste simplemente en instalar un software y listo. Se trata de crear una sala de pánico digital que te mantenga a salvo cuando todo salga mal. Y créeme, en este tipo de trabajo, la mierda acabará por estallar.

Piense en la configuración de su máquina virtual como si fuera una bolsa de emergencia digital . Cuando las luces rojas y azules comiencen a parpadear fuera de su ventana, no querrá tener que estar dando vueltas tratando de recordar qué archivos eliminar primero. Sus protocolos de emergencia deberían ser de memoria muscular: un clic y todo se quema.

Pero aquí está la verdadera cuestión: la mejor configuración de seguridad no sirve de nada si te vuelves perezoso con ella. He visto a muchos usuarios de tarjetas ser atrapados no porque su configuración fuera una basura, sino porque se sintieron cómodos. Comenzaron a revisar su correo electrónico personal en su máquina virtual "segura" y se olvidaron de activar su VPN. Pequeños errores, grandes consecuencias.

Recordar:

• Tu máquina virtual es un teléfono desechable, no tu iPhone personal
• Esos archivos por lotes no son decoración: pruébelos periódicamente
• Si algo no parece correcto, primero pregunte después.

Hasta entonces, mantente fresco y mantén tus botones nucleares cerca.

d0ctrina fuera.

Si

• Download VeraCrypt
• Create a new encrypted container (at least 100GB)
• Use AES-Twofish-Serpent cascade encryption
• Set a strong password you wont forget
• Mount this container whenever you need to run your VMs

2. OS Selection and VM Setup
While there are more secure operating systems out there were using Windows for our carding VM. Why? Because most fraud tools are built for Windows and compatibility matters when youre trying to run these tools.

Get yourself a debloated Windows 11 ISO. Debloating means stripping out all the Microsoft spyware bullshit - telemetry Cortana Windows Defender automatic updates and other phone-home features. You can find these ISOs on forums or make your own using scripts like Windows11Debloat on the guest system. The goal is a clean Windows install that doesnt talk to Microsofts servers.

Creating the VM:
View attachment 48767

• New Virtual Machine > Custom
• Choose "I will install the operating system later"
• Select Windows 11 x64
• Name it something boring like "Work Environment"
• Store it in your VeraCrypt container

Hardware Configuration:

• Allocate 4 CPU cores minimum
• 8GB RAM (fixed allocation)
• 80GB disk space (pre-allocated)
• Disable 3D acceleration
• Remove sound card
• Remove printer connections
• Remove USB controller
• Set network adapter to NAT only

3. Windows Installation and Hardening

• If you have debloated the iso before installation, mount it, if not mount the standard ISO and debloat it after.
• DO NOT connect to the internet during installation
• Create a local account only - no Microsoft account
• Once installed immediately run the debloater or:
  • Disable Windows Update Service
  • Block all Windows ports in firewall
  • Install VMware Tools (needed for stability)
  • Disable all sharing features
  • Turn off all Windows features except basic networking

4. Network Security Setup

Layer your security like a paranoid onion:

1. Host System:

• Install Mullvad VPN (they take crypto and dont log)
• Configure lockdown mode
• Block all IPv6 traffic

2. VM Network:

View attachment 48769

• Set static MAC address (change it weekly)
• Configure VM to only use NAT
• Install a second VPN inside the VM (different provider)

Emergency Protocols: Locking & Nuking

When shit hits the fan and you hear those heavy knocks you need instant nuclear options. Heres how to set up your panic buttons:

Quick-Nuke Batch Files:
Create two batch files on your host machine:

1. lock.bat (Dismounts and locks VeraCrypt container):
@echo off
REM Force dismount all VeraCrypt volumes
"C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /dismount /force /silent
REM Clear RAM to prevent cold boot attacks
"C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /wipecache /silent
exit

Final Thoughts

Setting up a secure VM isnt just about installing some software and calling it a day. Its about creating a digital panic room that keeps your ass safe when everything goes sideways. And trust me in this line of work shit will eventually hit the fan.

Think of your VM setup like a digital bug-out bag. When those red and blue lights start flashing outside your window you dont want to be scrambling around trying to remember which files to nuke first. Your emergency protocols should be muscle memory - one click and everything burns.

But heres the real shit: the best security setup is worthless if you get lazy with it. Ive seen too many carders get caught not because their setup was trash but because they got comfortable. Started checking their personal email in their "secure" VM. Forgot to fire up their VPN. Small mistakes big consequences.

Remember:

• Your VM is a burner phone not your personal iPhone
• Those batch files arent decoration - test them regularly
• If something feels off nuke first ask questions later

Until then stay frosty and keep your nuke buttons close.

d0ctrine out.

Virtual Isolation with VMs

---

Remember our guide on hosting untraceable .onion sites? That was about running dedicated servers through RDP and SSH. But today were bringing that paranoid mindset home - literally. Were talking about running isolated VMs right on your own hardware because sometimes you need a secure environment without dealing with remote servers.

VMs: Your Digital Airlocks



Think of VMs like hazmat suits for your fraud operations. Just like how our .onion setup kept the server isolated from the clearnet VMs create a sealed environment where you can run your shit without contaminating your main system. And heres the beautiful part - when those feds come crashing through your door at 4 AM with a battering ram one quick press of the power button and your entire operation vanishes into the digital void. No evidence no traces just a blank hard drive thatll have the forensics team pulling their hair out.

View attachment 48763

But heres the real shit most guides wont tell you: Just running a VM isnt enough. You need proper isolation that makes our server lockdown from the .onion guide look like childs play. Why? Because this time the threat isnt just from the outside - its from your own hardware.

Why Isolation Matters:

Two scenarios thatll fuck you without proper isolation:

• That sketchy card checker you downloaded is packed with RATs and now some script kiddie is scrolling through your personal photos, crypto wallets, and documents.
• The feds kick down your door at 4 AM. Sees all the cards and logs you bought online. You get sent to Guantanamo.

VMs create a completely separate environment for your operations. Think of it as a digital burner phone that exists only in memory - when youre done it vanishes without leaving breadcrumbs back to your main system.

View attachment 48764

For carders isolation means:

• Complete separation between personal and fraud activities
• Protection from malware in sketchy tools
• Different VMs for different operations (US drops EU drops etc)
• Quick destruction of evidence under pressure
• No cross-contamination between "work" and real life

Most idiots get caught by mixing personal and fraud activities on one system. A single infected file or subpoena is all it takes. With proper VM isolation your main system stays clean while your "business" stays contained in disposable environments.

Each VM is a separate identity you can nuke instantly. When things get hot destroy the environment and spin up fresh ones. No digital forensics team can track what doesnt exist.

The Paranoids Guide

Lets get your digital panic room set up properly. Well use VMware Workstation Pro since it offers better isolation and security features than VirtualBox. Yeah VMware costs money but youre a carder - card it instead. If youre too broke or dumb to card it VirtualBox works as a free alternative just with fewer security features.


1. Base System Preparation

First nuke your host system. I mean completely wipe it - format that bitch to factory settings. Your host system should be cleaner than a Mormons browser history. No personal files no saved passwords nothing that links back to you.

Download and install VMware Workstation Pro (current version 17.x). During installation when it asks about system updates and user experience programs disable that shit. We dont need VMware phoning home.

View attachment 48766

Next hit your BIOS/UEFI settings (usually F2 or Del during boot):

• Enable Intel VT-x/AMD-V virtualization
• Enable Intel VT-d/AMD-Vi if available
• Disable Secure Boot
• Set a BIOS password while youre there

[d0ctrine]

I've got a question. I suppose VMs got very specific fingerprints, therefore it can affect our work. Do you have any comments on that?

This is true. That's I don't suggest VMs when carding sites with sufficiently advanced antifraud systems.

 

[kannotlol]

This is true. That's I don't suggest VMs when carding sites with sufficiently advanced antifraud systems.

Doesn't using a decent anti-detect browser void this issue anyway? As long as you're matching anti-detect OS with VM OS?

 

[Katel]

This is true. That's I don't suggest VMs when carding sites with sufficiently advanced antifraud systems.

So would you suggest a solution when we have a decent opsec with proper fingerprints at the same time?

great tutorial very useful
