EndPwn (stylized as ΣndPwn) was a client mod created by justquant (later known as dr1ft). It was installed using exploits which would change the client's webapp endpoint to the mod's loader page, later the updater endpoint was used instead.

History

EndPwn originally started as spyware due to trust issues justquant had. It was later turned into a general purpose client mod.

EndPwn2

EndPwn2 was the first public version of EndPwn. Unlike other client mods, it offered a defined set of features with minimal extensibility, such as its own default theme. It used DOM manipulation to make modifications, Webpack searching to pull various functions and used BeautifulDiscord as a base to load CSS.

Cynergy

Cynergy was a fork of EndPwn2 by User:Cynosphere that was nothing but a rebrand with a demoscene-esque injection screen and no default theme. It was functionally identical to EndPwn2.

bootsyhax

bootsyhax was a fork by twilight-sparkle-irl. It has been lost to time and the only mentions in it are in EndPwn3's code as attributions.

EndPwn3

EndPwn3 was a complete rewrite of EndPwn that introduced a plugin system and find and replace patching of Discord's code. It also replaced the old asarpwn method with the new bspwn method, which would instead scrape Discord client updates, patch them and distribute the patched versions via the updater endpoint of the client.

Lambda

Lambda was a fork and continuation of EndPwn3 by User:Cynosphere. It was later hastily discontinued out of paranoia after someone asked about it in concern towards Discord on Twitter, as Discord's stance on client mods wasn't known at the time.

There were plans to make Lambda its own standalone mod at one point.

Aftermath

dr1ft disappeared from the internet, taking EndPwn's GitHub organization down in the process. All archived material has been found from forks on GitHub.

toonlink is the current holder of the EndPwn organization name on GitHub.
