that steals your discord auth token

the general census on this thread is that he war over-exaggerating, he meant that it tricks you into inserting you Credential

phew

hmm yeah most likely. I forgot to add a question mark at the end of my reply, maybe it’s not the case, maybe

so, he just over-exaggerated things here, actually when you click there is a page that asks you for your creditentials and kids get tricked to enter them

aah, so in this trick I have to enter my creditentials again,

I don’t understand, as you said the hacker’s server requests my credits, so am I not supposed to be prompted to accept something by the browser or Discord app? Twitter and Google usually prompt you and require you to click “allow”

I’m satisfied with the answers and insights I got so far. But if you may add I’d be happy to know why factorization of prime numbers is so crucial in cryptography. I heard about this a lot before but don’t know anything. I know quite well about Prime number and theorems about them on math, but not their applications

Thank you! extremely helpful answer

so you can encrypt a message with my public key but you cannot decrypt it afterward ??

Oh! I remember these steps being explained on a youtube video before. So the point is that the padlock (that Adam received on the third paragraph) is like a program on my windows desktop, I can run it (here like Adam uses it to encrypt the date), I can copy it and send it to a friend, but I can’t read the code which is compiled through an unknown language (i.e even if snooper received the padlock he can’t figure out how to unlock it and decrypt the data)?

The situation is just an example, I’m not actually planning a revolution. just for demonstration purpose

this is very detailed answer thank you. however I face an ambiguity regarding this:

This is a mode of cryptography where each side generates two keys: a public half and a private half. Anything encrypted with the public half is only decryptable by the associated private half (and vice versa).

How can this private half be something that I know, Youtube knows but impossible for the snooper to our communication to know??
