Anti-Dex Explorer?

#21

You could make something like that but its more limited, start by viewing then editing.

#22

Yeah one time I had to flag my own post asking moderators to eliminate my topic, it really is weird do, you have to ask to eliminate YOUR topic

#23

that doesn’t work anymore, most dex explorers now use built-in functions to prevent game developers from detecting guis

wdym trolling with fake answers?

#25

One of two things:

  • People who do not know what they are talking about making up “possible” solutions to sound smart. This is a good topic to make up an answer for in this way because it is very hard to prove you wrong, kind of like proving an “it was all a dream” interpretation of a movie wrong. Here is an example where I actually bother.
  • The people who write exploits deliberately giving fake answers to dilute any true information that may appear in these threads. I don’t have proof of this, but I assume they do it because it would be extremely funny. I also suspect they start these threads to try and lure out real detection methods from developers who are too boastful to keep them secret.

As far as I’m aware, The guy at the very bottom is definitely a troll (He posted on every post random stuff for a couple of days, people who tried to report him on the DevForum got in trouble themselves)

I wonder how this Topic evolved into bickering.

heard this from a friend

Are you really sure you need to stop DEX?
You should secure your remotes.
And put all of your server only ModuleScripts inside of ServerStorage or ServerScriptService.

There is no 100% fool proof way to stop dex.

Roblox patched this, but you could probably try it:

game:FindFirstChild("exploit_name", true)
#30

it just seems like in your example that you’re just shutting down the guy that is actually trying to provide useful tips saying it won’t work just because it can be bypassed, just because it can be bypassed doesn’t mean it won’t slow down exploiters, if exploiters are spreading false detection methods then simply test them and see if they work.

#31

Secure your game and remote events instead.
Fighting against an exploiter on the client-side won’t help, you will lose 100% of the time since they have full control over their computer (client).

it does help though that’s the thing lol, it may not stop an experienced exploiters who actually understands lua and the exploit’s API but it will slow down your avg skid using something like inf yield

#33

It does not help at all if you know what they are capable of.
Anyone can bypass it, it doesn’t have to be an experienced exploiter either.

but it will slow down your avg skid using something like inf yield

Here’s the issue; they can easily find a bypass for it.
There are usually settings or something built-in to detect these things.
And the funny thing is that they don’t even need a LuaSourceContainer to execute their code.

#34

The server cannot access StarterGui (in the client) which the GUI is in.
Client sided exploits are just terrible in general, easily bypassable.
In short; you cannot.
(even if someone knew, the moment they post it here it will be patched.)

#35

I know what it’s like. I once was making a game, a random exploiter joined my game, and completely deleted everything that was in ReplicatedStorage, I use it because both Server and Client can access and have contact with it.

Now I even forgot ReplicatedStorage was even a thing.

#36

That is actually impossible unless the game had a backdoor (or this happened before FE was forced).

To clear this up: It’s impossible. Dex is parented to the CoreGui, which is not accessible AFAIK by LocalScripts. Even if it were accessible and you could see it in the game via code, the exploit devs would simply trick your client into thinking nothing is there. You can’t detect it.

#38

actually you can detect it, there are multiple ways also if you know what you’re doing you can detect said hooks.

#40

Script obfuscation is the correct term. Unless you really mean encryption and in that case, sorry to burst your bubble, but that is no short of possible. Not the encryption part, of course. That is easy. But how can you execute code without decrypting it? Does Roblox decrypt it? Can’t an exploiter do the same?

#42

Developers, please do not do any of these.

  • Memory checks are extremely unreliable and WILL have false positives no matter how optimized you make your game.

  • Do not obfuscate your code. That’ll cause many problems including poor performance and errors. It’ll also make it harder to develop your game.

  • Connecting GetPropertyChanged will not do much since any competent scripter trying to stop your anticheat can bypass that very easily.
