Why is this repo still up?
You made an entire video talking about how you regret the harm this repo has caused, how people are using it for malicious purposes, how you wish you hadn't worked on it
WHY IS THE REPO STILL UP?
If you actually care about the harm you've caused and aren't just using it for attention, you'd have taken down this repo by now. It's clear that you care more about getting views and social media attention than about actually helping the field of cybersecurity. Creating tools that you know full well are being used by bad actors is just as bad as using them yourself.
well this kind of stuff is used for illegal stuff, just like hack browser data on git hub is abused to make malware off, and many other for educational purposes only skiddie malware on git hub. at this point it will litarly not matter anymore
Taking down the repository wouldn't do anything. It wouldn't make a difference.
The code is already out there and the idea is already out there. Similar code and the same idea has been out there for years. If anything, this is still the education and awareness of what exists as a potential attack vector. A proof of concept enables developing detection capabilities, mitigation efforts, validating security controls and testing. Even if it weren't published, bad actors would eventually come up with the same idea and use it anyway.
Shining a light on something is so the industry can acknowledge it and address it, so the industry is better armed with what risks actually look like. I for one think that does help the field of cybersecurity
Taking down the repository wouldn't do anything. It wouldn't make a difference.
Maybe not anymore, but if you had taken it down soon after publishing, it would have gotten a lot less attention, and been a lot less freely available. People use whatever's easiest, and you made this the easiest option
Similar code and the same idea has been out there for years.
If your code was no better or easier to find than what existed, people wouldn't be using it. Also, scammers don't all work together, they aren't going to give code to their competition, that slows the spread in a way that a public repo doesn't
Even if it weren't published, bad actors would eventually come up with the same idea and use it anyway.
That's no reason to help them. By that same logic, everyone's going to die someday so there's no reason not to murder.
The cybersecurity benefits definitely exist, but is having a full working code example really that much better than just telling people about the idea? A video titled "Hey you can trick people into pasting a command into the run dialogue" would do just as much for cybersecurity as this full code example, and wouldn't save scammers all the work of coding it up themselves and making it look right (or the cost of buying an off the shelf solution).
