An executor is different from a person.
Iâm talking about the company that created Synapse, which is Synapse Softworks. If Roblox sued, theyâd be suing Synapse Softworks. You canât sue something that somebody made, you sue the person/people that made it.
You worded that a bit weird, but okay.
Executors are generally just for cheating. This one is a software for roblox. That proves that roblox can take the so named software down.
Roblox would have to prove in court that theyâre losing money to the executor, but Synapse was clever in the way they worded their website and marketing. Synapse was marketed as a âscripting utility,â and they never mentioned Roblox on their site. This leaves a legal loophole in the way executors work because while somebody could use it to cheat in games, somebody could also use it to mod games to add more functionality to them. Itâs a stretch, sure, but thatâs just how the law works. I donât think this thread was meant to talk about legal loopholes and such, so I wonât go on after this.
this is literally a sudden nuclear bomb to exploiters

Iâve thought about this situation a few times before. Itâs really funny to see it actually happen. I find it amusing how you hire the very people who are reverse engineering your game to prevent anyone else from reverse engineering it again.

Password salting means adding random data and thus the hashes of identical passwords are not the same. Storing passwords in plaintext is basically suicidal, as is not using salts due to rainbow tables.
Thus, roblox cannot do the password check regardless of the goal.

In this modern day world, companies give money to people who are able to provide something that others canât.
Working with a company that has been duelling Roblox is a one of a kind opportunity and definitely will bring better security to the table. This is the number 1 way to understand how exploiters get around the system, no questions asked.
We are arguing on ethics, and while I understand your point and the reason why this might make you feel disgusted, every company does it, even the government.
Would you not take the opportunity to gain information from your rival? Anyone who brings information to the table is valuable, especially if after many years of trying to fight them youâve never succeeded. Understanding how exploiters manage to get around the system now will prevent future ones from appearing.
Would you still swipe them off a carpet, risking to never actually understand how they pull it off?

Let me ask you this: what else do you expect Roblox to do?
Sue them? Do you think Roblox will gain money from suing them? They already have money.
You think itâs going to teach them a lesson? There are millions of hackers each day doing illegal things on the internet, it will never end. Taking them to court is just wasted time.
The only thing that would advantage Roblox is working with them. That way they can actually prevent this from happening again.
This decision has to be one of their best decisions for exploit protection.

Iâd like to add onto this with examples of other malicious services that operated similarly to Synapse, in this case, DDOS for Hire services.
Article TLDR:
- FBI took down 13 DDOS for hire services
- they used subscription based payments
- had entire terms of service âagreementsâ that you would not use their service to DDOS people.
- In 2020 the FBI did the same, seizing 48 DDOS for hire services.
- In 2018 the FBI seized 15 DDOS for hire services.
- One service operated for a decade, the domain registry had the guyâs real name and address, and had 2 million+ users and launched at least 30 million âdistinctâ DDOS attacks.
This is why Cloudflare sells their tunneling at a loss for small website owners. It hides their IP such that hackers have to deal with Cloudflare first, and it means they donât have to worry about a couple angry nerds nuking their minecraft server with one of the biggest botnets in history.
Easiest option was to buy out Synapse.
