Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
6s (success /səkˈses/) is a small CLI script that will change the username of Discord accounts in hopes of forcing a specific discriminator.
$ npm install -g 6s
$ 6s [<files> ...]
6s takes an array of JSON account configuration files and runs each account in parallel. Each configuration file should contain a password
and token
field:
{
"password": "YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE",
"token": "YOUR-TOKEN-HERE"
}
6s will exit when a desirable discriminator has been found on one of the accounts.
You can't currently change the list of discriminators. At the moment it includes:
"0001", "0002", "0003", "0004", "0005", "0006", "0007","0008", "0009", "0010", "0011", "0100", "0111", "1000", "2000", "3000", "4000", "5000", "6000", "7000", "8000", "9000", "1111", "2222", "3333", "4444", "5555", "6666", "7777", "8888", "9999"
Seek discriminators on one account:
$ 6s config.json
Seek discriminators on multiple accounts (in parallel):
$ 6s configs/account1.json configs/account2.json configs/account3.json
There is a strong chance that Discord will ban your account for using this tool. I'd recommend buying Discord Nitro if you want your preferred discriminator. That being said, there's nothing against me programming a tool like this. I think (hope)
