Earlier this month I, a commercial tool designed to help thieves evade fraud detection schemes employed by many e-commerce companies. That piece walked readers through for Antidetect showing the software being used to buy products online with stolen credit cards. Today, we’ll take a closer look at clues to a possible real-life identity of this tool’s creator. The author of Antidetect uses the nickname “Byte Catcher,” and advertises on several crime forums that he can be reached at the ICQ address 737084, and at the jabber instant messaging handles “byte.catcher@xmpp.ru” and “byte.catcher@0nl1ne.at”. His software is for sale at antidetect[dot]net and antidetect[dot]org. Antidetect is marketed to fraudsters involved in ripping off online stores.

Krebs on Security In-depth security news and investigation. A subsection of casinohackers.com was at one time dedicated to advertising Antidetect Patch — a version that comes with its own.

Pavel, posing with his Mitsubishi Galant in 2008. A search on the phone number “4,” referenced in the WHOIS site registration records for Pavel’s domains — antifraud[dot]biz and hwidspoofer[dot]com — turns up wherein the seller (from Kaliningrad) is offering a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant.

That same seller sold a 2002 BMW last year. On one level, it’s amusing that a guy who sells software to help Web criminals evade detection is so easily found on the Internet. Then again, as my demonstrates, many individuals involved in writing malware or selling fraud tools either do not care or don’t take too many precautions to hide their identities — probably because they face so little chance of getting into trouble over their activities as long as they remain in Russia. The above photo of Pavel in his Mitsubishi isn’t such a clear one. Here are a couple more from Kulikova’s Vkontakte pictures. Great work Brian exposing these slime buckets! There is such a thing as Karma and what goes around comes around.

So one day his crimes will catch up to him and your exposing him helps tremendously to their one day getting caught. And to Pavel Golub, who I’m sure will be reading Krebs about himself, dude, you are getting fat. You really put on some weight between 2009 and 2012. It’s also obvious you haven’t put on any intellect either since 2006 exposing yourself this way. That pretty little wife is going to leave you one day for someone better looking and more intelligent. Thanks for the laugh. I continue to notice how frequently the countries of Russia and China seem to be named on this site as originators of cybertheft.

I also note the comment from Brian that “probably because they face so little chance of getting into trouble over their activities as long as they remain in Russia” as the reason for a certain lack of caution regarding his identity. Both countries have a communist orientation where there is no difference between doing things right or wrong. The end justifies the means.

Glad i don’t live in socienties like that where if you are the Russian premier you can just arbitraily assasinate anyone who threatens you or consider cybertheft against the USA as a good thing and actually encouraged. Glad i live here! Hi everyone, don’t you think is a bit too fast to accuse the creator of actually very useful software. I use different types of Emulator’s daily to test how responsive my page is, also to differ organic from non organic users that visit my page.

If the creator of Antidetect software can be blamed for creating a such software (which i’m sure is not illegal) then we can go through the Play Market for example on Android and download, User -Agent Switcher / Emulators to use for the same criminal purpose & blame the creator for it (it’s free as well). Captain tsubasa wiki. It’s very obvious that the clever guy like him could easily hide his identity but didn’t which shows the genuine purpose of staying public. I’ve done my part of research, it’s quite few old hacked versions available there which was modified and could be downloaded for any purpose which does not qualify the Soft writer/creator to be liable for any misuse of the software. We can all guess what is been used for but if we all think that way, then we could blame Microsoft for Windows being used amongst Hackers/Fraudsters to attack and steal money.

Think wider guys. That was cool. I ve found one guy in a simple way few months ago, but he didn’t reply to me:).

Sadly for him. I perosanally don’t find the program so hard to crete, and can’t find why you need it at all for online purchases. You can pay via cc’s also with crome and mozilla and all others changing IP and screen resulution(which is not so important). Using multiple browsers and reinstalling them, or just cleaning the history will do the job. For casino cashouts i recomend virtual machines and using a few more pc’s. It’s not that hard anyway.
