FAQ: All you need to know about logs part 2 (2025)

[spalr]

Welcome back to the gritty world of logs. If you missed part 1, go read that first - https://2crd.cc/showthread.php?t=160728 - we covered what logs are and why they're the future of fraud. Now were diving deep into using them effectively. This guide focuses on initial access while part 3 will cover maintaining persistent access without detection.

Becoming One With Your Log​
When it comes to accessing accounts, you've got two main options: passwords or cookies. While passwords might seem like the obvious choice, cookies are often more valuable - especially for sites with 2FA enabled. But what exactly are cookies in the context of logs?
Cookies are small files that websites store on your device to remember who you are. They contain session data, authentication tokens, and user preferences that let you stay logged in without re-entering credentials. When you get logs, these cookies are one of the most critical components.
But here's the catch - cookies expire. Fresh logs are essential because those authentication tokens have limited lifespans. Buying months-old logs means most valuable cookies will be dead, especially for important sites like banking or email providers that rotate sessions frequently.
The Art of ATO (Account Takeover)
​
Modern websites aren't messing around when it comes to account security. They've built sophisticated systems to detect when somethings off about a login attempt. Try accessing your Google account from a new device with just your password - you'll likely get hit with verification requests to confirm your phone number or other trusted devices.
But it goes deeper than that. Even with valid session cookies, sites are constantly analyzing your digital fingerprint. Their security systems compare dozens of data points between the original users device and yours - everything from screen resolution to browser settings. One mismatch could flag the session as suspicious.
This is why logs are so powerful - they give you the exact blueprint of the legitimate users setup. Without that data, you're essentially trying to forge a signature without seeing the original.
Preparing For Takeoff

The only reliable way to evade security measures is to become a perfect copy of your target. The closer you match their digital fingerprint, the better your chances of success. Think of it as high-tech identity theft - but instead of just stealing an ID card, you're replicating someones entire digital existence.
Here's what you need to master:
Cookie Collection
Don't half-ass this part - you need ALL the cookies, not just from your target site. Quality logs come with complete browsing histories and cookie archives. Pay special attention to authentication tokens, session IDs, and persistent cookies that maintain logins. Well cover advanced warming techniques later, but remember: more data is better. The deeper your cookie collection, the more convincing your impersonation.
Device Fingerprinting
Your log provides a complete blueprint of your marks digital identity - both their hardware setup and browser environment. Every detail matters: screen resolution, GPU specs, timezone, installed extensions, language settings, keyboard layouts, and countless other technical details that antidetects use. The more of this you get right, the longer you'll maintain access without detection.
For high-value targets like banks, you'll need to match even more subtle fingerprinting elements like the list of fonts the user has. Modern security systems analyze dozens of these parameters to verify authenticity. While going to extreme lengths in copying the logs setup (don't just go around buying the same laptops as your logs) isn't necessary for most sites, they only become important when targeting strict platforms with sophisticated detection systems.

Pro Tip: Most logs come from Windows machines because that's what stealers target. Using Mac or Linux wont get you anywhere. Always match your targets OS and architecture - you cant perfectly clone a Windows fingerprint on a Mac. And virtual machines aren't the answer - they're still detectable compared to matching native systems. Even minor discrepancies in system APIs can expose your true identity.

Assuming An Identity
\​
Becoming your target requires surgical precision. This isn't just swapping passwords - its digital metamorphosis down to the smallest detail.
Step 1: Reconnaissance
First, you need to thoroughly analyze the key components of your log. While the structure varies between different stealers and parsers, most follow a similar pattern. Just use your brain to adjust if its different. For a typical Redline format, you'll find these critical elements:

• System fingerprint data including hardware specs, resolution, keyboard layouts, language, timezone, and location are stored in UserInformation.txt


• Browser data is organized by browser type (Chrome/Edge) with separate folders for:
  - Autofills (stored in Google_[Chrome]_Default.txt)
  - Cookies (found in multiple .txt files like Google_[Chrome]_Default Network.txt)
  - Saved passwords (found either in passwords.txt or in Browsers/{BrowserName}/Passwords/)


• Credit card information (found either in CreditCards.txt, CreditCards folder, or in Browsers/{BrowserName}/CreditCards/)


• Additional system data includes:
  - DomainDetects.txt for domain information
  - InstalledSoftware.txt for installed programs
  - ProcessList.txt for running processes
  - Screenshot.jpg of the system

Don't rush through this analysis. Every detail matters when you're trying to perfectly mirror someones digital presence.
Step 2: Building Your Digital Mask

Now comes the careful process of crafting your antidetect profile. Start with the IP address - this is your digital home base. Pull up ipinfo.io and analyze your targets IP details. You're looking for:

• Geographic location (city/state)


• Internet Service Provider (ISP)


• Autonomous System Number (ASN)

Premium proxy providers let you target specific ASNs, but if that's not possible, focus on matching the city, state, and ISP. Many residential proxy services allow filtering by location and internet provider. While not as precise as ASN matching, using a proxy from the same ISP and geographic area still helps maintain the legitimacy of your disguise.
Step 3: Import Cookies

Cookie importation is where many mess up. If your antidetect browser needs JSON format but your logs have Netscape cookies (or vice versa), use a converter like accovod.com/cookieConverter. Don't just dump them in - verify the conversion worked correctly.
Step 4: Hardware Mimicry

This is where we get surgical with the details. Your antidetect profile needs to be an exact mirror of the target system:

• Match the exact screen resolution


• Set the GPU renderer string exactly (example: ANGLE (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0))


• Install the same browser extensions.


• Configure language settings and timezone to match

Step 5: Digital DNA Replication


The final phase is warming up your profile. Quality antidetect tools like Linken have built-in warming functions - use them. This process involves:

1. Loading the targets browsing history URLs provided by the log


2. Allowing cookies to refresh and regenerate


3. Building up the same cache and local storage data

If your antidetect lacks warming features, use the Open Multiple URLs extension. Load up the browsing history URLS provided by the logs and let it open all sites at the same time. Just make sure your machine doesn't explode
The Landing​
Congratulations, you've mastered the art of digital shapeshifting with logs. By following this guide, you've learned how to become an undetectable ghost in the machine. Your clone is now a perfect mirror of your target - from hardware specs to browsing patterns to authentication tokens.
This isn't some basic password cracking or "PAYPAL LOGS 2025 WORKING METHOD" nonsense. You've rebuilt someones entire digital identity from scratch. When you hit those banking portals and payment processors, their security systems will roll out the red carpet. Your fingerprint is so clean that even high-security sites like PayPal and Chase will treat you like their favorite customer.
I don't write guides for specific platforms because these principles work universally. The same methodology that gets you into a Netflix account will breach a bank portal - its about becoming indistinguishable from the legitimate user. When sites see the same browser configuration and valid cookies connecting from the expected location, their backend systems purr like a well-fed cat.
Your digital DNA is so precise that their fancy authentication and risk scoring systems stay fast asleep. This guide covers 99% of the sites you'll ever need to access because the fundamentals never change. Whether you're hitting streaming services or financial institutions, a properly built profile gives you the perfect cover for whatever operations you're running.
Stay tuned for part 3 where well dive into maintaining persistent access without detection. Besides persistence, we will also explore other things we can do with logs, from crypto wallets to discord tokens. Until then, keep practicing these concepts and remember - mastering these fundamentals is what makes the difference between success and failure
