Lyxia actively block, contain, and clean up after attacks on TSHE. It has stopped over 500 raids and attacks. Security-sensitive detection details are deliberately not published.
What is a nuke?
A nuke is a coordinated attack aimed at mass destruction of the server's structure. Where a raid adds noise, a nuke tries to delete or break what makes the server a server — channels, roles, webhooks, and messages.
Common nuke behaviour
- Deleting channels — removing text and voice channels in bulk.
- Deleting roles — stripping or destroying the server's role hierarchy.
- Deleting messages — mass-deleting history across channels.
- Creating spam — rapidly creating channels, roles, or webhooks to clutter the server.
- Abusing a compromised account or bot token — acting with the permissions of a trusted identity.
| Action | What it destroys | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Channel deletion | Server layout and channels | Tear the server apart |
| Role deletion | Hierarchy and permissions | Break moderation and organization |
| Message deletion | History and content | Erase the community's record |
| Webhook/role creation | Clean structure | Add chaos and clutter |
A nuke is a destruction attack: it tries to break the server by removing or corrupting its structure.
How TSHE handles nukes
- Lyxia monitor for mass-deletion and mass-creation events in real time.
- Destructive actions are logged so they can be reversed or escalated.
- Snapshot and restore tooling lets staff rebuild roles and structure after damage.
- A compromised token or account is locked down immediately and its access revoked.
