Recover a nuked Discord server
- Stop the attacker. Anti-nuke should already have stripped their permissions or banned them; if not, remove their roles immediately and revoke any rogue webhooks.
- Restore the structure. Roll back your channels and roles from the pre-nuke snapshot captured when the attack was detected.
- Recover individual items and bans. Use the deletion log to bring back any channels, roles or bans removed in the last 12 hours.
- Harden against a repeat. Lower anti-nuke thresholds, tighten the whitelist, and audit which accounts hold Administrator or dangerous permissions.
First minutes matter
The sooner you act, the more the recovery window works in your favour. With anti-nuke enabled, the attacker is usually already neutralised, so your focus shifts straight to restoring structure and reversing bans.
Prevent the next one
A nuke almost always means an account had more power than it should. After recovery, review permissions, reduce who can delete channels/roles, and keep anti-nuke thresholds tight.
Frequently asked questions
Restore your structure from the pre-nuke snapshot, then recover deleted channels, roles and bans from the 12-hour deletion log. With Azra’s anti-nuke, the attacker is already quarantined and a pre-nuke snapshot is captured automatically.
Yes, if recovery is in place. Azra’s deletion log keeps removed channels, roles and bans recoverable for 12 hours, and snapshots restore the whole structure.
Tighten anti-nuke thresholds, audit who holds Administrator and channel/role-management permissions, and keep verification and raid protection on so compromised or malicious accounts are limited.
