PwnedCheck is a Telegram bot designed to verify the security of a user's email address, ensuring it hasn't been compromised. Additionally, the bot provides a bi-weekly reminder at 19:30 to prompt users to recheck their email status.
Telegraf: A Telegram Bot framework for Node.js.
Node-cron: A cron-like job scheduler for Node.js.
Axios: A promise-based HTTP client for making API requests.
Install dependencies using npm install telegraf node-cron axios.
Remember to install Typescript types as well.
Set up a Telegram bot on BotFather and note the token.
Clone the repository and create a .env file with your Telegram bot token:
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=<your_telegram_bot_token>
Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system.
Run the bot using npm run dev.
The bot leverages the Have I Been Pwned API to check the security status of user email addresses.
Axios is used to make HTTP requests to the Have I Been Pwned API. Telegraf handles interactions with the Telegram API, allowing users to check their email security status.
Node-cron is utilized to schedule a bi-weekly reminder for users to recheck their email status.
Adjust the cron schedule in the cron-job.config.ts file to customize the reminder frequency.
Modify any other bot settings or messages in the script as needed.
PwnedCheck is a tool to enhance digital security awareness but does not guarantee absolute protection. Users should follow additional security best practices.
