Sorry if i’m asking in the wrong place, but i didn’t find anything related in the forum.
My doubt is: Can I use Roblox Studio’s Command Bar to simulate a hacker attack on my game?
Since Exploits can activate Remote Functions without permission, I wondered if I could do the same to test whether my game is safe or not.
Since Command Bar does something similar, could I use it to test this?
I just wonder if it would work or not.
Yes. Command bar also has higher permissions so you will be able to replicate the feeling of an exploit a bit more.
This is completely wrong.
Command bar is identity level 4, while most script executors are identity level 6.
Not to mention that the command bar is missing a lot of functionality exploiters use, such as access to upvalues, etc.
So do you know if there is any better way?
There is no better way unless you wish to use actual exploits.
This is not completely wrong, I said a bit more, not 100% the same.
As I replied, it’s completely wrong.
Everything you can do on console is possible to do on script executors and more. There is nothing in the console bar which gives you an edge over exploits.
As I replied, it is not completely wrong.
Of course command bar is on a lower identity, and that was my point. You can’t have a 100% replica of an exploit without it actually being one.
Just a doubt: Can i be banned from roblox if i use actual exploits?
You can. There is no rule that allows white-hat hacking.
Command bar runs on client if you run it in play solo mode.
(Studio cmd bar)
Whoops, I misunderstood the command bar as being the thing in the F9 menu.
Command bar first is a good method of simulating attack vectors. It can test the integrity of the server-client model and attacks done by client-server replications. You can also test firing events with unexpected inputs; useful for testing server checks. Finally, it has the same ability as plugins (dubbed lvl 6) to manipulate script source code.
Where you are missing out from the command bar is the exploiters ability to manipulate C functions. But that occurs on a different level of development and security which you shouldn’t worry about, preventing serious exploits from that vector is the roblox staff’s responsibility.
But what can be helpful, is understanding exploiter’s attack vectors and why they are possible and how you can use server code to prevent such attacks from affecting other players. I definitely recommend using the command bar for this practice.
