https://github.com/lstprjct/IDM-Activation-Script this repo has 5.5k stars and seems to be a carbon-copy of this repo, i have not checked for malware presence but i feel like this repo is possibly botted, there are many spelling mistakes and it seems very sketchy

it's probably just a fork, WindowsAddict (the creator of this repo) is on the credits list at the repo you linked

IAS tool was hosted on nsaneforums only, At that time the GitHub repo was created by another user, and after that, I created this GitHub repo. Another repo was already there before, so it has more activity, that's all.
