Behind the Discord QR Code Scam, With a Topology and Demonstration

I saw numerous videos in my recommended which had information on this scam and were relatively recent, and I decided to give some insight to others who find this channel about such a topic. I have experience with cybersecurity and I know how to write scripts that can conduct this scam(and for legal reasons I am not openly using them). This thus would make it great to give people a sort of topology and demonstration so that they know how the whole operation works, including both concepts from the front of the scam, to the backend part which details how the scripts may work.
A brief disclaimer:
This may not be the exact method that hackers use for this scam, however it is essentially what I would do if I had the audacity to scam poor children and compromise their accounts(this is a bit hypocritical to say, given that I am technically a child).
I DO NOT USE THESE SCRIPTS, AND I ONLY CREATE THEM FOR THE SAKE OF EDUCATING OTHERS AND MYSELF. These measly scripts pale in comparison to the real scams, as I did not exactly make too much effort to create the most convincing bots and optimizing the chromedriver.
If you guys didn't know(aka aren't irl friends/acquaintances), I'm DrSquid and I have experience with computers. Since 2021, I've been well versed in them, and was able to effortlessly obtain my school's computer technology academic award by being able to find creative solutions to otherwise simplistic problems, and also create solutions which were more efficient and most importantly, elegant. I do not intend to ruin my future by meddling with innocent people, which renders my script unusable if I do not want to ruin myself.
- Thank you!
