- After the comments on the previous fortnite skin swapper investigation, I found the official github & downloaded it. Did it turn out to be legitimate?

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
@@Cerluxdh bro they make tons of money and only u can see the skin idc abt huge corporate businesses lol
@@Cerluxdhhow 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
@@tlou7171 yes but the ai normally needs initiative aka a report
@@tlou7171 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
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
I asked for this a lot, I didn't check for your channel in a bit, but thankyou for responding with a video
Hey Eric nice to see you make this kind of video! Merry christmas! : )
Same to you
@@EricParker i the second swapper safe?
Eric parker thank you for doing a video on it !
Also blew up up with 100 k views
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.
dont even play fortnite, yet your knowledge of how to detect this sort of stuff earned you a sub, keep this up!!!
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
thank you for making a legitimate informational video instead of saying nothing over a course of 1,000 words and three minutes.
Simple and straight to the point. Awseome video, awesome channel, and awesome content. Keep up the good work man!
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?
2:40 there is a way to bypass this by just clicking the download opera gx, but then closing the pop up so you dont actually download opera gx. And then just wait because it has like a cooldown since it thinks your actually downloading it.
Opera better
@@s.hitter5889opera is spyware brave better
yeah have fun with opera the memory hogger@@s.hitter5889
enjoy ur spyware@@s.hitter5889
It works with the ccp@@s.hitter5889
welcome back to yt.
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.
merry Christmas Eric see you in 2024 loving the videos
thank you for making learning such an enjoyable experience!
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
Hi Eric one of my friends had downloaded galaxy swapper v2 and after having some issues uninstalled it is he safe now or not?
2:50 it's affiliate links💀
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.
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
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❤
I loved your video but I could do an investigation into filter keys or the apps they use to get "better" in Fortnite
i use that
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
Can you do a video on hxd pastsbin?
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.
Helloo, Could you possibly do a test with the swappers ''Saturn'' and ''Ruination''?
Saturn is also on github
he doesnt play fortnite with swappers
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
are you using a VM?
i have downloaded it how do i get it off completely?
Finally someone who knows what they are doing. Not some guy who puts it into virustotal and says its a virus.
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.
@@SlayPCVR then its probably fake
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.
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
you dont have to install the things they tell you to. just click the button. it has no way of checking
does it work on accounts with no skins on them both my accounts have good skins on them and i dont wanna risk it
could u make a video on reksfn i wanna download it but im sceptic
How do i uninstall this @Eric Parker
When i click on here it takes me to something else and it detects a virus and malware
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
Hey can you also check through Saturn Swapper?
great vid i subscribed
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
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
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@@WesternsideRp
Can you do a video on the skin swapper known as "Saturn Swapper"?
def a virus don't trust
You should put the link in your description or a comment so we don’t accidentally fuck it up
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
if you look in 7:54 the folder name is called "stealer" which is probs stealing your data onto there servers.
Underrated UA-camr
Clickbait for the good of us (exept for the ones who are dead)
The reason you saw a malware was because it didnt redirect you to the download, but an ad first which was the setup.exe
the russian galaxyswapper site it just takes all your steam, epic, google accounts
can I have he link and ir is safe the github one
yo bro the github code isnt the same one
So if i download it through github excactly how you did it will be legit and no virus?
idkk i need to know
legit
I have the official DC as I'm a content creator myself, it is safe, just don't use the FOV, Background modifier.
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
Well, I've been using this swapper for a long time, and I actually didn't download it from a single file with bats and everything. I downloaded the app without files, so maybe some people think, 'Download it for the key.' Well, you shouldn't download it because you will trick the website into thinking that you downloaded it. So, yeah. But do not install stuff with bats.
The main issue is that fn is literally tailored towards kids and they download the most blatantly fake skin swappers because of how gullible they are and talk about how they got a virus. Also the people who have successfully downloaded it are either gate keeping it or just hiding it since they're afraid epic will ban them.
How did you manage just to get the application?
soo ur saying that the github one is safe and the real one?
yep
i downloaded one about a year ago and it did work and i could use all the skins in battle royale and things but it probably does sell your info somewhere
Has anyone ever told you that you sound kind of like Actually Hardcore Overclocking?
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?
@@mrsavic09 No but he thought it was
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
every time i open it my internet stops working
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
hello the orginal one is a vırus? ı delete it rn ı am full scaning with karpesky.what do ı do rn eric?
If u want delete virus u have to Reset u pc it work 100%
@@Fleateeı only dowloand swapper not the browsers.
@@caganbaskan The browser is the only thing that doesnt have a virus
@@facebr_2406 nothing happened innit😃
I get 30 fps with it on how to fix it ?
you get a warning after a while.
finally someone looks at the real one
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.
This got my UA-cam hacked and my internet down 2-3 years ago
you dont actually gotta download the linkvertise as long as your on thr page for a certain amount of time it will work
Make a video about mobile malware or UA-cam scam ads💀
Actually working on one about the scam ads.
Thank you for showing us this but is the galaxy swapper v2 bannable?
Not too sure. I mean a lot of people claim they've used it for months without a problem. And there are only a FEW people claiming they got "ip banned" except they legit show zero proof of it
so if I download it from github then my computer will be safe???
yes
Can you make a skinchanger/inventory changer video on cs2? I know sapphire changer is a free inventory changer, ive used it before, but i don't know how safe it is, and if there are any better alternatives.
Can u get banned for using it ?
If you downloaded 50 different “galaxy swappers” and find the “original” I’m pretty sure you’d still have a virus.
nope
Don't use Opera / Opera GX. It is spyware
8 ball skin what a throw back
So is it safe
the installation of galaxy swapper is bad?
no, if you downloaded it from github
say hi to the new galazy note hi
The most telling thing to me is Opera GX being every where...
So the first on that pops up on google is Safe the Galaxy swapper v2
the github is safe, not the first link
Pls say your useing a virtual pc or not your main pc 😭
I love your videos
Can you be caught using this and banned??
What is a galaxy swapper
soooo you installed a add download??
its probably a VM (virtual machine) its like another pc inside ur own to test files and stuff
As a dev, its pain to watch this video.
What's wrong with it?
at the start it was a pop up
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.
Those ads that pop up ur supposed to close off them
Can other people see it?
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
*Risking your pc to show us if it's a virus* 🔥
he's using a virtual machine
