As you all know, Discord has started to use Machine Learning in order to detect and ban spammers. But have you ever tested it?
You’ll be amazed by how effective the system is! I wrote this article for educational purposes only. The purpose of this article is not “hacking” or “breaking” any rules. It is to warn you that all is not so simple in the internet.
how to bypass a discord ban
I challenge you to try this method. You will see that everything is working fine at your end, while the other user won’t be able to receive your messages. However he will still be notified by a system message telling him “You have been muted”, so don’t use it in scamming, hacking… etc..
Discord is using AWS SNS (Simple Notification System) for sending messages. For those who don’t know, you can send text messages with AWS SNS at FREE of charge. You just need some credits if you are going to be the publisher of that message.
What is Discord and how does it work?
Discord is an application for real time communication. It’s like Skype or Teamspeak but designed specially for game players. You can use Discord to talk with your teammates, or you can create a server and publish it so anyone in the internet can find it and join. In this post we are not going to talk about how to bypass a ban in Discord and how to create a secure server. We will see only how we can send messages using the SNS service, and bypass bans that might be set against us.
To give you an example, let’s say that you are playing League Of Legends (LOL) and 10 people are in your team. Not all of them want to talk at the same time, so one person can speak and all others will hear him. You can use Discord to communicate with each other without having to type all the time.
How to bypass a Discord ban using AWS SNS
Now let’s say that you did a mistake and were banned from Discord. You can still communicate through other users who are not banned, right ? if your account was the only one banned then it would be impossible to chat with others. But if everyone else is unbanned why couldn’t you send messages to them? It’s simple: Discord is using Amazon SNS to send messages. If the account that provides the service is banned then you can’t do anything.
AWS SNS allows to communicate by email, HTTP and SQS (Simple Queuing System). We are going to use this last one : “https://sns.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/”. The “Send a Message” function allows you to send text messages for free, as long as the receiver is part of your AWS (Amazon Web Services) account and has notifications enabled (which means anyone can receive those messages).
The consequences of getting caught
Do not try to bypass a ban in Discord because you will get caught sooner or later. Your messages will be tagged as spam and the consequences might be very serious. If your server is big enough there is no way that you can play without giving messages to your teammates. So don’t use it for scamming, hacking… etc..
How to bypass a Discord ban
The easiest method is using an Android emulator. There are many of them on the internet, I am using “Nox Player”. Install it, create a new account and search for Discord on Google Play Store. That’s all! You can now send messages to any user that has notifications enabled.
Conclusion
I hope this article will help you to understand how a system works and what can be done if there is a weak link. Don’t try to break the rules of a website, they will ban your account without asking questions or think about it twice.
