Server nukes follow the same script: a compromised admin account or a rogue bot mass-deletes channels, bans members and spams invites. A security bot watches for that behaviour and stops it faster than any human can. Searches for "discord security bot" are up roughly 140% this year — here is what to actually install.
1. Noxyr — anti-nuke and anti-spam with dashboard toggles
Noxyr's security module covers anti-spam and anti-nuke with trusted users and trusted roles, and both stay off by default until a guild is ready — no surprise punishments while you configure. Everything is toggled from the web dashboard, and it's free.
2. Wick
The best-known dedicated security bot. Very deep protection (join gates, heat systems, quarantine) but the learning curve is real and key features are premium.
3. Security Bot / Double Counter
Focused on raid detection and alt-account verification respectively. Double Counter is worth pairing with any security stack if alts are your main problem.
4. Carl-bot / Dyno moderation
General moderation bots with automod rules. Good spam filters, but they are not built to stop a fast admin-level nuke.
A sane security setup for most servers
- Enable 2FA requirement for moderation in Server Settings.
- Audit bot permissions — nothing should hold Administrator it doesn't need.
- Run one dedicated anti-nuke layer (Noxyr or Wick) with a short trusted list.
- Keep automod/anti-spam on for the public channels.
- Review the audit log integrations weekly — see our guide to adding bots safely.
You can turn on Noxyr's anti-nuke in one switch from the dashboard — protection first, tuning later.
