Every Minecraft server is in danger what started as a group of 2b2 T trolls has grown into a real threat to the entire Minecraft Community back in December of 2020 a griefing group was formed on the 2b2 server this group went by the name fifth column and within that same month They’d already griefed four not insignificant bases fifth column had rapidly managed to show players they were a force to be reckoned with at least in the relatively small 2b2 T Community but for these Griefers that wasn’t enough so what do we do what if we grief servers owned by old men B ala Bot to sced for servers owned by old men okay maybe not just old men but that is something they did their ultimate goal was to gain access to every Minecraft server that way they could grief whatever they wanted they developed a b that tested through every possible IP And logged the working ones in its database by scanning that list more in depth it could even check for a white list or an antiche the final filtered database was almost entirely servers that were ripe for griefing they named the bot copen after Jay Robert Oppenheimer creator of the atomic bomb Copen wasn’t shared with anyone outside fifth column because to them that would take the fun out of it but that doesn’t mean it went unused how does he hit so hard he’s cheating he’s hacking he’s haing some of the stuff they did is actually disgusting bro most of this still went Under the general Minecraft community’s radar at least until when it comes to griefing in Minecraft how far is considered too far fit MC released a video about copen he explained the situation and how the bot worked because of fit’s video tons of toxic little Griefer kids looked for a Way to download copen himer to their disappointment however they were rather egotistically rejected oh great another fit viewer who thought copenh would be publicly available some of them made attempts to replicate copen Heimer but I don’t think any of them ever worked God damn it why does it keep putting me on Mineplex eventually though someone was bound to recreate it but this time it would be one of the biggest security breaches Minecraft had ever seen before I get to that however I’d love it if you scroll down and click the link to join my Discord it’s been Super Active Recently and I’ve been having a ton of fun chatting there okay back to how players finally recreated copen this is live overflow a pretty sizable white hat hacking YouTuber for a while he was posting videos where he showcased technical Minecraft exploits on his server welcome back to your favorite Minecraft Youtuber quick message to my regular viewers don’t believe this is a technical video Over time however it became clear that multiple other people had managed to find his server’s IP apparently his fans had managed to replicate copen catching on to what happened live overflow addressed it in a Video and actually ended up explaining how to make a similar system when he finally posted it it managed to reach a 16-year-old developer from Germany going by Dam dam wanted to find live overflow server 2 he looked for a working bot online and stumbled across copen himer He found out it was Private just like everyone else and the only other working bot he could find was what’s the IP of live overflow server access denied what I already found this over and I don’t want anyone else to take advantage of my work so Danam began to do it himself he followed the tutorial and quickly threw together a program and it did manage to find the server at this point Dam server scanner was rushed and it was named Blanco server scanning after a German singer but in February 2023 he renamed it to Serers seeker and began regularly updating it to be more efficient more marketable and easier to use Dam had basically recreated copenh he had a personal database of just over a million servers like genuinely wild number the serers secret Discord bot had commands to get a random server find who’s played A server and see what servers someone has played but there was one main difference between serers seeker and copenh serers Seeker was public anyone can join Dam’s Discord and use it and that’s not even mentioning the API is publicly available and you can just add the bot to your own server There’s even an add-on for a popular Hacked Client that let you use it without ever closing your game I don’t know if it’s just me but this is getting a little bit scary with something so powerful it was only a matter of time before people began to take notice and One such person was a small YouTuber by the name of illegal pie that is certainly a name a few days earlier illegal pie and some friends from his school were messing around with a simar bot called bad copen himer it was pretty funny for him to see how players reacted To random people joining their servers it was like he was some sort of mysterious evil hacker a few days later he thought back to the experience and realized this might finally be his chance to make it as a YouTuber if he could turn joining random private servers into a video that Could be insane but when he went back to try the bot he used the first time he quickly found out it barely worked find me a server 122. 312 13156 okay perfect oh yeah that server is offline you so he started to look for a different bot which landed him in a Discord called cium and happily chatting in the cium discords general chat was none other than Dam Dam’s own bot server was linked in his Discord bio and since it seemed like exactly what illegal pie was looking for he decided to join after which he invited the bot to his own Private recording server with his friend and they got to work they recorded several hours of footage over the next few days and then illegal pie edited all of it down into a 26-minute YouTube video what happened oh my people just K her crap o oh my the video did successfully blow Up his Channel sitting at over 200,000 views but more importantly the serers secret Discord sits it over 4,000 members also quickly there’s probably going to be a lot of you who want to also try this bot I just ask that you please be respectful when joining people’s private servers not everyone’s World has a backup also if you’re enjoying the video so far I would really appreciate it if you subscribed since illegal pie uploaded there’s been a boom in the usage of serers Seeker do you think your video had a negative impact on the Minecraft Community Um no because of it a lot more people got to know what what it was and and the the the war just sprad I think his point is that more people became aware of it as a threat than the amount of people actually trying to use it which I think That’s fair I don’t think he meant any harm by it but players have found the IP to MCC and also hermitcraft even my recording server regularly gets random accounts trying to join it with Ser Seeker as big as it is now there are many questions about the ethics that Need to be asked like for one is it against the Ula well not explicitly but there’s room for interpretation you must not let other people get access to anything we’ve made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable but even if it’s not against the UL yet that doesn’t mean It’s harmless what if say some 10-year-old set up a server to play with his siblings but then some jerk joins from serers seeker and destroys everything what if somewhere on that same server the kid plays to sign with his real name on it imagine how much damage someone someone could do then There’s no option in vanilla Minecraft to join a random server and I honestly think it shouldn’t be something that we mess with the servers are private for a reason but on the bright side damn in the time I’ve talked to him seems like a genuinely good guy when my researcher Was asking him questions he promised he’d at least Blacklist anyone who broke the law so that’s something I was a little put off by the channel he had for stream sniping so I asked him about it and almost immediately after he realized how that could be used maliciously and Got rid of it obviously there’s still plenty of room for people to misuse serers Seeker but if anyone is running a project like this he’s a pretty solid person to do it if you want to protect your server from being found obviously make sure the white list is on Mojang Should also probably make the white list on by default besides that though there’s a model Link in the description called sneaky server it hides all your servers info until the player has joined for the first time and if the whel list is on that means the info is hidden from Bots forever I expect if there’s not a similar plugin for spigot already there will be soon if you
