Automating carding with ready-made bots (OpenBullet, SilverBullet) and configs 2026

[Good Carder]

From carder to carders. Manual data hit is for beginners and aesthetes. When every second counts and hundreds of cards need to be verified, automation frameworks come to the rescue. OpenBullet 2 and its advanced paid fork, SilverBullet, are more than just "password guessing programs." They are powerful tools that allow you to create complex pipelines that simulate real user interaction: sending requests through proxy pools, solving captchas, parsing dynamic responses, and saving the results. In this article, I'll explain where to find up-to-date configs, how to customize them for specific gateways, show an example config for the Stripe API, and discuss critical errors that instantly destroy accounts.

Part 1. OpenBullet vs. SilverBullet: Which to Choose in 2026?​

Choosing between the free OpenBullet and the paid SilverBullet depends on your needs and budget.

OpenBullet 2 is a cross-platform, open-source automation environment written in .NET. It supports proxy processing, has a powerful configurator, and allows for flexible response parsing. In 2026, the project is still alive, updated, and used by a huge community. It's the best choice for a start.

SilverBullet is a paid, highly optimized version based on OB, with a user-friendly UI and improved performance. Key advantages of the paid version in 2026:

• Support for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 is critical for modern APIs (Stripe, Adyen). Clients using legacy HTTP/1.1 with a large number of connections are increasingly being detected by anti-fraud systems.
• A modern browser engine based on Edge Chromium to bypass Cloudflare and other protections.
• Support for WebSockets, SSH, POP3/IMAP/SMTP and built-in interpreters for automating complex multi-step scenarios (e.g. mail registration).
• Built-in simple CF Bypass to bypass Cloudflare, solution for Cloudflare Turnstile, ability to override TLS fingerprints via plugins (e.g. Advanced TLS Forwarder Plugin).

Conclusion: If you're a beginner, start with OpenBullet 2 and hone your skills on public configs. For industrial scalability, complex targets, and high anonymity, invest in SilverBullet Pro.

Part 2. Configuration architecture: how the bot "thinks"​

The config is the heart of the bot. It's a script that defines the sequence of actions performed by OpenBullet to attack the target system. As noted, it's essentially a set of blocks that simulate complex browser-like behavior by sending HTTP requests and processing responses, without using a full-fledged browser, making attacks fast and difficult to trace.

A typical config lifecycle looks like this:

1. GET request to the target page. The bot loads the main page, extracting CSRF tokens, session IDs, and other dynamic parameters.
2. A POST request to create a payment intent. The bot inserts the card details from the list you uploaded and sends them to the API.
3. Response processing. The bot parses JSON/HTML, checks the response code (HTTP 200, 402) and fields (e.g., "status": "succeeded" or "decline_code": "insufficient_funds").
4. Saving the result. If the answer meets the "success" ("Hits") criterion, the card data is written to a separate file.

Understanding this cycle helps to adjust timings and correctly set idempotency keys.

Part 3. Config Sources: Where to Get Current Scripts​

Writing configs from scratch is difficult and time-consuming. It's much more efficient to use existing community developments. The main sources of configs in 2026 are:

• Closed Telegram channels. This is the main ecosystem where current configurations are shared. Search for channels using the keywords "OpenBullet Configs" and "SilverBullet Configs." These channels regularly publish configurations for Stripe, Adyen, WooCommerce, and other platforms, often with video setup guides. For example, the OpenBullet Configs channel has over 20,000 subscribers and contains both OB1 and OB2 configurations.
• Community Forums. The official OpenBullet forum and sites like proxycommunity.com remain platforms for discussion and exchange.
• Specialized markets. Paid configs are sold on darknet markets and closed platforms like ConfigHub and ConfigVault. However, there's a high risk of running into a scam or a config with hidden backdoors that will steal your results. Never run other people's configs without first verifying their security.

Part 4. Setting up the merchant configuration​

Even with a ready-made configuration, it needs to be properly configured for a specific purpose. Key configuration parameters:

• Importing proxies. In the Proxy Settings section, specify the path to your residential proxy file. In the RL Settings section, set the Connection Timeout, Retries, and Max uses per proxy (usually no more than 1-3 per proxy) to avoid IP burnout.
• Request Delay Settings. Delays between requests and threads are a constant, constant, constant process. Merchants see inhumane request speeds and immediately block the bot. For Stripe and Braintree, experts recommend setting a delay of at least 500-1000 ms between requests, as well as adding random delays to simulate human error and bypass behavioral analysis systems that calculate perfectly uniform intervals.
• Idempotency Keys. Stripe uses idempotency to securely process requests: the server remembers the result of the first request with a unique key and, on subsequent attempts, returns the same response without charging again. The main goal is to generate a unique key for each attempt, such as a UUID (V4). Reusing the same key for different cards is a surefire way to burn out your account.
• Captcha and redirects. To bypass Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA, you'll need plugins (such as CaptchaSharp) or integration with services like CapSolver and 2captcha. The configuration settings include blocks for waiting for redirects and extracting cf_clearance tokens.

Part 5. Example configuration for card verification via the Stripe API​

To demonstrate, I'll provide a simplified example of pseudocode in LoliScript (used in OB). It illustrates the logic:

// BLOCK 1: GET checkout page to get client_secret
GET /checkout
HEADER Authorization: Bearer {{API_KEY}}
-> PARSE JSON: $.payment_intent.client_secret => SECRET

// BLOCK 2: Collect card data (from your Wordlist)
{WORDLIST: cards.txt}
-> SET card_number = {WORD}
-> SET exp_month = {WORD}
...

// BLOCK 3: Confirm payment via API (Idempotency Key)
POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_intents/{SECRET}/confirm
HEADER Idempotency-Key: {GUID()}
BODY: payment_method_data[card][number]={{card_number}}&...
-> IF response status == 200 AND body contains "succeeded" => HIT (Card alive!)
-> IF response body contains "insufficient_funds" => CUSTOM (Card alive, but empty!)
-> IF response body contains "do_not_honor" => FAIL (Card dead)

In a real config the following should also be implemented:

• Rate Limiting. A mechanism that automatically pauses a task if the number of errors exceeds a specified threshold. If Braintree starts returning errors en masse, it means your attack has been detected (7+ attempts in 15 minutes from a single account), and the bot should immediately stop using these proxies.
• Error handling. Your configuration should distinguish between temporary network failures (500 Internal Server Error) and permanent failures (400 Bad Request) to avoid retrying requests that are doomed to fail.

Part 6. Mistakes That Lead to Bans (and How to Avoid Them)​

Automation speeds up the process significantly, but it also exposes violators much faster. Here are the top 5 mistakes guaranteed to get you banned:

1. No latency or too low latency. A human can't send hundreds of requests per second. Be sure to use delays between requests and randomization.
2. One Idempotency Key for all attempts. If the same UUID is used multiple times for multiple cards, the server treats it as the same transaction and either blocks all subsequent requests or returns an error, rendering the entire checker useless.
3. One IP for multiple cards. Ignoring proxy rotation. Even when using a pool, constantly using a single IP to check dozens of cards is a surefire way to get banned.
4. Ignoring Server Errors and temporary blocks. By failing to handle 5xx errors and endlessly retrieving requests, you create a huge load and expose yourself.
5. Ignoring API updates. Stripe and other gateways change API endpoints and response structures. Using a year-old configuration leaves you extremely vulnerable to detection.

Summary​

Automation means scaling. OpenBullet and SilverBullet provide a tool that allows you to process hundreds of cards where manual hit would take hours. But technology is a double-edged sword. Incorrect configuration, ignoring basic OPSEC rules, and using dirty proxies will result in you burning cards at supersonic speed.

Start small: study the publicly available configs on the official forum, analyze their structure, and understand the logic behind working with the Idempotency Key. Test everything on low-value targets. And only after achieving stable results, scale the process.

A quick one-line reminder:
OpenBullet 2 (free, community) for starting out; SilverBullet Pro (paid, faster, HTTP/2) for advanced users. Don't forget about latency, proxy rotation, and a unique UUID for each card. Otherwise, the Telegram config will burn your cards faster than you can press start."
