This is awesome. Whilst swappers are hated by Epic for obvious reasons, I don't really think it's morally wrong at all. I'm glad there's someone like you to analyze these websites to make sure what's fake and what's real. People are going to download swappers anyway, might as well show them educate them on how to do it safely. Good shit.
its legit :)
Do remember fortnite makes the skin to get a profit of u playing the game and getting the skins for free is a little unfair
@@Cerluxx bro they make tons of money and only u can see the skin idc abt huge corporate businesses lol
@@Cerluxxhow are pure cosmetics making the game unfair
@@Pkrepfinds yeah its legit, ive used it for a few months with little to no issues or damages caused to my pc, only annoying thing is you have to install a new version every time fortnite updates
It sad UA-cam strikes useful videos like this but yet allows malware ads to be displayed on their platform.
UA-cam only strikes if someone snitch
@@AzZulskino they use AI to check for themselves
@@AzZulskiso a malware maker probably snitched
@@shadowark-e1g yes but the ai normally needs initiative aka a report
@@shadowark-e1g one of the ads on my Shorts page is a fake SSD
so yeah
these type of videos you make are so entertaining, keep making these virus analyzing vids
hello
watching this made my stomach hurt, not because of the content itself, it's because of how the computer acts when he downloads everything. i've had a nasty experience with viruses.
Glad to see you back. I hope YT doesn't strike this video since it's pretty useful for some people who consider using sketchy stuff like this.
def not useful lmao hes abt dumb asf
Note: Lootlinks or any thing that tells you to sub or like or download doesnt detect if you download the thing or like or sub to a certain channel it waits a certain amount of time before letting you enter, so practically you dont have to do anything but click the button, delete whatever it downloaded or such and wait on the page until it lets you go
wrong use of the word practically but yeah
You can somethimes use a bypasser
God I haven't heard of Galaxy Swapper since like late 2019 or 2020, I'm surprised that name is still even around.
its been on the rise lately
been blowing up
Sorry for being dumb but what is a galaxy swapper?
@@DonChiparro he says it in the video, its a skin swapper for fortnite.
@@mariustonning9956 thanks
This skin changer is patched (outdated) and didn't work now, a new version was published on my channel🔥
I asked for this a lot, I didn't check for your channel in a bit, but thankyou for responding with a video
thank you for making a legitimate informational video instead of saying nothing over a course of 1,000 words and three minutes.
Did it work
This is a good video, but the only thing that's off, is when he downloads it from discord. I would go to the releases page for the source code to download it or get the final version. But instead, they put it in a linkvertise page.
There are alot of tuturials on youtube showcasing fake ones. You can just click on the channel of the person who uploaded it, usually its a stolen account who now just uploads scams. U can tell if its like this because the videos previously will be about like makeup or something, speaking in another language to being about downloading fortnite and speaking english.
2:50 it's affiliate links💀
Im sorry but i couldn't really follow the video, is the one you downloaded from github safe then? And should i rebuild the source code myself to make sure or is the link safe?
the github one is safe
GitHub gives you viruses and will get you banned, don’t get it.
Often if you can check out the code and build it yourself it is worth it just in case.
@@HojlundUnitedYAY FREE SKINS
Just don’t download it icl
Eric parker thank you for doing a video on it !
Also blew up up with 100 k views
Hey Eric nice to see you make this kind of video! Merry christmas! : )
Same to you
@@EricParker i the second swapper safe?
The "Survey Scam" Isnt actually a survey, its an ad that the website is funded to add to the website, Lots of free websites and stuff like that have ads because its how they make money from you clicking on and going to the website.
Noticed that you didn't mention this. if it has a password on a zip file it is most definitely a virus, the reason they do this is because it tricks windows defender and won't get flagged.
I appreciate you commented this for everyone. I know I’m late but I just wanted to say thanks for confirming this with me. I’ve seen a lot of stuff with passwords on it in my time on the internet and I generally never trusted those files because I kind of picked up on their shadiness. Glad to see I was right about this!
Another reason to do this is that the file host sites cant scan them
why do you have child r34 as your pfp 😭
funny story actually😂, i downloaded the browser that you were checking out in this video and signed in, lost my google account within a month, i was young and not tech smart but now im glad like people like you make these videos to educate people❤
Did it work
Im pretty sure galaxy swapper was always open sourced but there was a lot a fake ones out there, i used to mod fortnite a lot and make my own custom skins ages ago manually editing the files so i only used this tool a handful of times
Hey do U have any tips on how to get a safe skin swapper?
@@senefn in the official discord but the swapper is patched
@ so there’s no way to get a safe one?
dont even play fortnite, yet your knowledge of how to detect this sort of stuff earned you a sub, keep this up!!!
you dont have to install the things they tell you to. just click the button. it has no way of checking
welcome back to yt.
I downloaded this, and it went horribly wrong. I weeks later found out a Trojan Horse Virus on my PC. I lost my email with a lot of money and exclusive accounts linked with it.
Fortnite accounts?
Could you make a video on fan made servers such as EZFN and the various other projects? I see online and it’s often split whether or not it’s a virus.
holy its been years since ive heard of galaxy swapper. i remember using one back in season 4 chapter 1. they genuinely used to work
The real one is through discord, I've had it before. I deleted because I started to think it was a virus, though, never did anything bad to my PC.
So its not a virus?
@@sav1ccc No but he thought it was
Simple and straight to the point. Awseome video, awesome channel, and awesome content. Keep up the good work man!
Hey Eric, was wondering if you could please do a video on the Fortnite software, "Project Nova". It's a program that uses old Fortnite versions to run older seasons, and is said to be a miner when being played. The software is very sketchy, but it's a cool way to play the game. I would love to use Nova, or its alternative Project Reboot, but it is way too sketchy. Thanks, loved this video.
project nova is safe ive had it for months
@@extr3mebtw no someone checked it its a virus
Project nova has been used for years, it's safe.
@@TTMVert then its probably fake
Why in the world would anyone want to compromise their entire account for a chance at getting a skin you'll never truly own. This for fake ogs or bots who made their account recently so they have nothing to lose.
there was also ways to combine different pieces of skins to make your own that’s what I used it for
JUST FOR ANYONE WHOS CURIOUS, GalaxySwapper was patched back in August of last year and has yet to be updated; anyone claiming to have an unpatched swapper is most likely just lying and is almost certainly a virus.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this video has been uploaded on another channel called Mati0074, the video was uploaded complete followed by another video recommending a different skin swapper, also i wanted to ask which programs to detect malware do you recommend?
the best one in my opinion is malwarebytes, its so good
hey! i use malware bytes and it says i dont have anything thats unsafe on my pc, but i have downloaded galaxyswapper v2 and idk if it does show up on malware bytes. if it is a virus and i do have a virus, how do i get rid of it
Its easy to delete, I actually used galaxyswapperv2 6 months ago, it was perfectly running with no viruses 2 months ago I started hearing these news, I felt unsafe so I uninstalled it through files and had to do some coding for it.
But i dont think its a virus since Microsoft Defender sucks and they can mark lots of files as viruses, like I was downloading forge.
@Grimな I actually once got banned only for 12 hours, though, but thats when I stopped using it!
Werent you a "mod" for galaxy swapper what made you uninstall it@@KsngYT
Not a mod anymore
Thats why I posted alot of Galaxy swapper v2 videos, but YT wouldn't let me post them, and it got me banned. They would never talk to me
if you downloaded galaxy swapper and you want to delete it. would the stuff you swapped still be there after deletion or do I need to verify my files to fix it?
Yes Verify your files and it will go away.
Interestingly, the source code isnt up to date. I built the project myself and it instantly takes me to the website telling me I need an update and to download a conveniently prebuilt version from there.
That is very suspicious
@@jakem5039 It's probably fake source code. I didnt really have a deep look into it, but I'd bet money that it is made to do that so that you trust it and download it.
@@jakem5039im glad he did a video about this (he answered my comment last video) . I also remvoed it because i was to scared of it destroying my pc. Because sometimes u had to download 8 gigabytes of files , when swapping. I thought it would slow down my computer . Im not sure. It would be better if he tried it out with the swapping in fn. But im still not trusting
the russian galaxyswapper site it just takes all your steam, epic, google accounts
UA-cam is lame with the strikes your doing a good deed for others that may not be as tech savvy as most of us now days
3:32
Yeah, TL is striking everyone who decides to say that they their launcher is a malware
I tried doing this but first It said that "windows cannot access the specified device path or file you may not have appropriate permissions" But then when I tried to install it again my norton360 said it wasn't safe and uninstalled it, so I don't know if it's truly safe or not. Please can you find a way or a tutorial to help me?
get rid of norton its spyware
its kinda crazy how little eric knows about ads, you never have to download whatever and subscribe or somerbing
can you link me original galaxy swapper so i can use it and dont be hacked by trojan and that viruses?
the first one isnt a malware its an advertisment
edit: u didnt have to download opera gx u just needed to click on it and chill not download
bro you installed the wrong file, like do you even know what to do?
HERES HOW TO PASS THE KEY SYSTEM: it runs on a timer and clicks so delete the download and click random things in the window and wait 30-45 seconds and then, boom free key
can u help me with this i cant delete bec its open
On mobile, it's easy to avoid doing anything on that website. After tapping on one of the steps, immediately tap Chrome's "tabs" button and wait for a couple minutes. If you waited long enough, it'll assume you looked at the website.
merry Christmas Eric see you in 2024 loving the videos
Hi Eric one of my friends had downloaded galaxy swapper v2 and after having some issues uninstalled it is he safe now or not?
Im one of the mods in galaxy swapper, and recently we have had people saying stuff about our application being a malware. But this can be from people hating galaxy swapper as all window files can mark these files as viruses. But with that question, no, your PC will not be harmed.
@@KsngYT the issue would be if they accidentally downloaded a virus pretending to be galaxy swapper
@@zorbl8463 Yeah mostly that.
I have the official DC as I'm a content creator myself, it is safe, just don't use the FOV, Background modifier.
What do you mean by background modifier? I used it to change the fov
@@einshel8298 yes, thats bannable
@@HMBorg but i didn't understand what you meant
@@einshel8298 now you do
What I didn't understand, is the second file you downloaded from github legitimate or is it malware?
What did you mean when you said something like "Ads on wikipedia you know you got a virus"?
Wikipedia does not run ads. If you see ads on wikipedia.org, you have adware installed.
Oh, okay. Thanks@@EricParker
thank you for making learning such an enjoyable experience!
so is the official one a virus or not i want to download it but dont want my information stolen
on discord its not a virus on the website it is
@@luciclmao what do you mean on discord?
What's the discord@@luciclmao
Finally someone who knows what they are doing. Not some guy who puts it into virustotal and says its a virus.
Clickbait for the good of us (exept for the ones who are dead)
It is: For the good of all of us.
you dont actually gotta download the linkvertise as long as your on thr page for a certain amount of time it will work
To get the 48 hour key you dont need to install the software or whatever it wants you to do its just a timer so you can just close the pop out after you click on it then you will get access within 2 minutes or so
did u get it from github
so if I download it from github then my computer will be safe???
yes
Also I already know that there are going to be lots of people saying that they have the official version because its running and its working perfectly fine, but the problem with it is, that people are taking original galaxy swapper and adding malicious code into it (the code im referring to is ratting codes) which allows them to watch your computer without you even being able to know, and you might find the file running in the background in task manager, but half the time they cover it up by naming it something that would seem like it would be with galaxy swapper so yes, most of them are virus's and idk if any of them arent bc I havent finished the video yet lol
That is why it is downloaded from the official discord, not from the internet, to avoid these problems.
ok ive installed it before the only way to get it is through their official discord server every other way is a virus
Could you send the invite?
@@pristhl sadly i left that server many months ago probably last year im not sure i joined it during chapter 4 season 1 goated season by the way although i do want to join back to it and re download the mod but i cant find the video i used to join the guy had the link but i dont remember it sorry but if you can find it send me the link if you could please and thank you
Don't use Opera / Opera GX. It is spyware
aint true
@@entrro do your researches buddy
@@MickmickWashesThings_OfficialOpera literally used to be a super famous browser before Opera GX, do YOUR research.
@@MickmickWashesThings_Official Its not true cause i use it and nothing happens to me bro LOL like not even any stuff and besides if opera gx/opera was spyware my pc would of been bombed by now dude
@@entrro spyware is not virus, idk where you found that but it doesn't do anything to your computer, since it spies on what you are doing in the program
yep made a mistake with this just trying to get galaxy black knight, its funny how this video appears after i get hacked
retard lol
i have downloaded it how do i get it off completely?
So its safe with the github version
could you try "Ruination Swapper"? i want to use it for the custom skin editor but i dont know if its legit or not
its safe, been using it for a couple months and nothing happened
so is it malware? and if i download it how do i delete it?
reinstall windows to remove virus. (assuming they didn't hack your GPU or Motherboard)
@@EuroSpecJDM thats how i know youre lying or dont know what youre talking about, it is impossible to hack a gpu or motherboard hahaha
@@rhaibyou can inject payload into the boot up image which comes from the Motherboard, but its very rare.
@@rhaib man needa spend less time watching a p*rn & anime online and do research on how viruses work. 😂😂
@@EuroSpecJDM fr fr prob some incel
This doesn't exactly prove this isn't malicious, you should analyze how it interacts with the app itself via a debugger or check it's functions via ghidra/ida. There are a lot of ways these things can obfuscate themselves from a basic check like virustotal
Hi Eric good video but I think people still should not download the real one because people can get banned but I would say they can get your account info because you need to allow them to start the game from epic games launcher from their software and I saw at some people using it on tiktok and day later needed to reset their PC but I know it is tiktok and I don't even know that much about these things and even if someone says that the galaxy swapper is scam/virus they get banned on discord within 2 min
Hey! I was wondering if you have made a video on how to get rid of a virus? I was really dumb and desperate and this random dude dmed me and sent me a download link for a call of duty skin swapper and I downloaded and it and he says it got onto my CPU and Motherboard is there any way I can remove it without buying a new pc?
aint no way you're serious bruh 💀it didnt get onto shit lmao. he capping hard
That's not possible. I might make a video going over the ways of getting rid of these viruses, but viruses don't 'get onto' your hardware.
You can reinstall windows if you don't mind losing your data.
I used to make plugins to combine skins and stuff not get the cool rare things I hope it comes back eventually
Can you do a video on the skin swapper known as "Saturn Swapper"?
def a virus don't trust
does it work on accounts with no skins on them both my accounts have good skins on them and i dont wanna risk it
if you look in 7:54 the folder name is called "stealer" which is probs stealing your data onto there servers.
Helloo, Could you possibly do a test with the swappers ''Saturn'' and ''Ruination''?
Saturn is also on github
he doesnt play fortnite with swappers
0:59 that’s not Galaxy swapper that was an ad lots of websites redirect u to a random sketchy website
btw when you have to download things in order to get something just click the link thing wait on the page for a little bit then it will be done and you can get whatever you want
Bro just skipped the file which he actually meant to analize wtf? xD
if you go ahead and directly start installing every ad you see im pretty sure you are gonna get ratted, just straight ahead skip every ad install and only download the loader without ads
Now I do have one Question. First of all its a really great video . But can I get banned by using the galaxy swapper or does epic didnt recognice it when I have the swapper
Thanks .
if you're not streaming or anything that shows ur pov of the game and you using the swapper, you wont get banned. If you want to be super sure just don't download it. I'm using it for a couple of weeks now and nothing happened to my account
Where 5o dwonload?@@JP-dc2xw
I'm not really into fortnite so I can't give definitive advice on that. It's not allowed but enforcement is rare from what I have heard.
@@JP-dc2xwso is it a virus
he showed the legit one is not a virus@@BU_Buzzy
If the software isn't malware, the program they make you download to use the application is.
They use trustworthy programs to scam you; this isn't the legitimate oprea gx download but most likely spyware.
Yo awesome info and vid
Just a genuin question, why are you running the files without running them trough virus total? If I were you I would run them through virus total first just to be sure that its not a virus instead of just running it, and I do know what a pup is, but lots of pups are installing real stuff that isnt malware without your consent, and probably 2x that installs malware without your consent which either way, they both are crimes.
virus total sucks
virus total wont show you everything and programs can hide malware and trojans and it wont detect it
Can you get banned with them??
Yes but only if you play tournaments with it. If you play creative or normal or ranked battle royale with it, you wont get banned.
@@twitchgambithanks bro
you also can’t stream or make videos with it, if other people know you use it likely you’ll get banned
I downloaded the russian one thinking it was all same, today i got removed from my epic account and someone from russia tried to log in my acc
which one is the russian one
its defo a virus. it got into my pc and some of my stuff was hacked. luckily all the important things werent on my pc so its all good. but i had to move away from google chrome
You should put the link in your description or a comment so we don’t accidentally fuck it up
So the real galaxy swapper v2 is not a virus?
it is, its a rat saturn swapper is legit tho
When i click on here it takes me to something else and it detects a virus and malware
Look at the comments first it’s not a virus trust me download it don’t open it then right click and if scan with windows defender doesn’t pop up then right click again when it pops up click it and it will say it’s not a virus also don’t download opera gx just wait and it will take as much time it will take to finish downloading and it will verify
Hey can you also check through Saturn Swapper?
Could you do a fortnite dev account thing called NL Hybrid
As a dev, its pain to watch this video.
What's wrong with it?

could u make a video on reksfn i wanna download it but im sceptic
did you
@@NbwGwiff it doesnt work anymore use NL hybrid
You installed it wrong, you installed all of the ads, if you didnt you would be completely safe, its literaly open source
So the linkvertise is safe im at galaxy swapper discord and i installed the same that the guys dids am i safe ( i didnt install any ads and i have windows defender + malwarebytes
ive used it for months and nothings wrong@@Pkrepfinds
He's doing that to show you not to download those and that they are viruses
as long as you havent installed any ads, then you should be alright, you really shouldnt need to turn off your av, but it could be a false positive so that makes sense.
So if i download it through github excactly how you did it will be legit and no virus?
idkk i need to know
legit
So does that mean I can get it from the get hub I don’t want my PC virus
yes github one is safe
