People who use this or program it for others to use in the wild are human garbage and should be socially isolated, it's as simple as that. It's their moral choice and when they choose malice, they will have to be morally judged. To the least.

Calm down friend, it's just a program that steals a chat room.

a few of these steal credit cards as well. but that's ok because it can be used for good - you can learn where chrome stores its cookies!

It's a mix. The top result is https://github.com/Blank-c/Blank-Grabber, which is full fat malware, which uses discord to exfiltrate the stolen data.

Is there any value in cookies for a children game?

You can then steal their account balance and any items you have.

Yes. It allows you to impersonate someone, cause issues for other players under their name, sell them on to others to want to do bad things like that etc.

In Roblox's case there are items that sell for thousands of dollars. In Minecraft's case there's a very large marketplace for the accounts themselves - the game has a lot of cheaters that get banned from servers regularly and cycle through accounts to keep playing.

"For educational purposes" is the new "It's just a joke, man."

I get the argument that non-disclosure isn't working ("isn't perfect" would be a better phrasing) and that once the source code is out there, you can't contain its spread. But I'm not making a political argument here on how to prevent this from happening, but a moral argument (pretty obvious in my post). Basically if you spread this "for educational purposes" *wink*wink* you are part of the problem and most of your justifications are worthless and disengenuine. And if you're really a free speech advocate you allow me my moral judgement.

Not even close. It takes down a whole computer. My son downloaded a file he thought was a friend he hadn't heard from for awhile to look at the project he was working on. Had to wipe the computer. Fortunately his brother had the skills to save his files and check that they were clean. They also used his card to charge steam account stuff. Had to warn all his friends he had been infected and nuke his discord including his own server. Had to get a new bank card.
