LooseCannon

Automated scambaiting for the terminally online. Weaponizes local LLMs against the forces of digital darkness.

Legal Notice

This tool exists for educational purposes and defensive security research. Using it will probably violate some Terms of Service. Your accounts may get banned. You've been warned.

What It Does

Turns your messaging apps into honeypots for scammers. When they message, an AI responds with maximum confusion and minimal coherence. Think of it as a Turing test in reverse.

Current Victims

WhatsApp Web (primary target)
Telegram Web (all variants)
Facebook Messenger (surprisingly easy)

Architecture

LooseCannon/
├── extension/          # Browser hijacking code
├── server/            # LLM wrangling service
└── personalities/     # Digital personas of varying coherence

Prerequisites

Ollama (for the AI brain)
Node.js 18+ (for the plumbing)
Firefox (Chrome users can wait)
A healthy disregard for platform guidelines

Installation

# Get the code
cd ~/Documents/GithubOrgs/zeroed-some/LooseCannon

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start the AI
ollama pull llama2
ollama serve

# Run the server
npm start

# Load extension
npm run dev:extension

Or if you prefer the manual approach: about:debugging > Load Temporary Add-on > Select manifest.json

Operation

Open your chosen messaging platform
Find the LC button (you can't miss it)
Pick a personality (Confused Elder is a classic)
Toggle to ON
Watch the magic unfold

Available Personalities

Confused Elder: Can't find the any key
Tech Support Nightmare: Knows everything, understands nothing
Conspiracy Theorist: It's all connected, man

Safety Mechanisms

Manual activation only (no rogue AI here)
Big red emergency stop button
Conversation logs (for posterity)
Rate limiting (to maintain plausible humanity)

Phases of Development

Phase 1: Basic infrastructure [COMPLETE] Phase 2: Multi-platform chaos [COMPLETE] Phase 3: Chrome support (eventually) Phase 4: World domination (pending)

Technical Highlights

Real-time scammer detection (70%+ confidence triggers alerts)
Human-like typing delays (150ms per word, plus random jitter)
Context-aware response strategies
Conversation state management
Platform-agnostic message handling

Performance Notes

Conversations auto-purge after 24 hours
Message history capped at 50 (memory is expensive)
Response queue prevents flooding
Automatic reconnection on server hiccups

Testing Your Setup

// Browser console commands for the curious

// Check load status
console.log(window.LooseCannonLoaded);

// Trigger scammer alert
browser.runtime.sendMessage({
  type: 'SCAMMER_DETECTED',
  data: { score: 0.95 }
});

Known Issues

Platform DOM changes will break everything
Too many responses = rate limiting
Some assembly required
Batteries not included
