Setting up Densory Security: step-by-step instructions

Densory Security protects your Discord server in real-time. The bot detects dangerous bulk actions and stops them before damage is done. This guide will walk you through the setup process step by step.

Check prerequisites

You need a Discord server and administrator privileges to invite the bot. The bot role must be high in the role hierarchy.

Optionally, you can create a separate log channel for security messages.

You can test the product in advance: 30 days free of charge. Payment data is not required.

Invite bot and set role

Invite Densory Security to your server. Then place the bot role on top of your moderation roles.

The setup is done via the dashboard.

Activate Anti-Nuke and Anti-Raid

In the dashboard, select your Anti-Nuke and Anti-Raid settings. Recommended defaults will help you get started.

The Anti-Nuke protection monitors security-relevant actions on your server. If many channels or roles are deleted or mass bans are executed in a short time, the bot strikes, and if the action exceeds a configurable threshold, it intervenes automatically. It can revoke roles from the causer, kick or ban them.

This also applies to compromised admin accounts. Even a highly authorized account is stopped as soon as it acts unusually. Trustworthy roles or people are specifically excluded from the checks. This way, legitimate admins do not trigger false alarms.

The Anti-Raid protection detects coordinated attacks with many joins in a short time. The bot immediately places suspicious new members in a quarantine role. They then do not get access to channels.

You can set a minimum account age. Joins below this age are automatically blocked or quarantined by the bot. The quarantine period can be limited in time. After that, the bot performs a defined completion action, such as a kick.

Set up phishing protection and AutoMod

Enable phishing protection to have the bot filter fraudulent links and scam URLs from messages. Add your own AutoMod rules and log channels for full transparency.

In Custom AutoMod, you create your own filter rules from words, phrases, or regular expressions. You can limit each rule to specific channels or roles. You can also specifically exclude areas, such as staff chats.

The bot records violations as strikes in the warning system. Depending on the escalation level, it then automatically triggers an action. Via the dashboard, you also manage the native Discord-AutoMod. You control both systems from one interface.

Set warnings and escalation

The warning system collects all rule violations of a member as strikes. You link them to a configurable escalation ladder. In it, you determine from which number of strikes which action is automatically triggered.

Every step ends up in the security logs. This way, you can see at any time why a member has received which consequence. Rule violations are thus treated uniformly, without manual intervention by the moderators.

The system also protects your server from repeat offenders.

Go live and sharpen the rules

After launching, observe the first security logs. Then adapt the rules to your community.

The bot protects your server around the clock. It intervenes before a compromised admin or a raid wave destroys your server.
