- Install Python 3.8.2

- We register on some FTP server
- Open the file with a code editor and enter your information in the code (host, login, FTP password, you will receive all the information, mentioned by mobile security experts)
- Compile the Python code into an exe file. For this, auto-py-to-exe is used
https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/
- We send the .exe finished to our victim. When you open your file, you will receive 2 .zip files on your FTP server
- Download Telegram Portable and start it. Open the “tdata” folder that will appear on Telegram. You will have a folder “D877F783D5D3EF8C”; Open it and replace map0 or map1 (you must use your tdata server file.zip)
- Open “tdata” again – locate the file “D877F783D5D3EF8C” and delete it. Now we transfer a similar file from your tdata1.zip or tdata2.zip
- Launch Telegram Portable. If everything has been done the right way, we will have a stolen session in our hands.
