Exploit Prevention Update

They are all about being super kind and sweet to everyone, how about they take all of that sweetness to the console developers such as Microsoft and Sony and learn how they make their own anti cheat and then use that knowledge to make Roblox’s anti cheat?

I’ll never understand why they bought Hyperion. It was such a bad idea.

All they had to do was pay Microsoft or Sony an amount of cash to teach them how to anti cheat their platform and they would’ve did it for them.

You don’t see cheaters on console games. You do see cheaters on Roblox.

console cheating is totally a thing. It’s just more locked down and way harder to pull off, so you don’t see it as often. Consoles are basically closed systems—Microsoft and Sony bake in their own security layers, and it’s not like you can just pop open a console’s file system with a third-party tool. Mobile and PC, which Roblox also runs on. on the other hand, are more open platforms, meaning there’s a thousand different ways for shady folks to poke around in memory, modify data, or run stuff they shouldn’t be running.

That’s why Roblox might look like it’s riddled with cheaters compared to, say, an Xbox game. You’ve got players spanning everything from iPhones to custom-built PCs, so the sheer number of possible exploits skyrockets. It’s not as simple as ‘do what Microsoft and Sony do’ and call it a day—those companies own the hardware, so they can enforce a bunch of restrictions that Roblox can’t in a PC/mobile ecosystem.

Roblox’s approach to anti-cheating right now is very disappointing, but the idea that you can just throw money at Microsoft or Sony to magically fix cheating on an entirely different platform is pretty naive.

Is the anti-cheat still working as intended?

Lately we’ve seen a big influx of hackers. If I had to guess I’d say this is the same amount as pre-byfron.

Not sure what’s happening here…

Yes, it is now the same amount as pre-Hyperion. What is happening here is Roblox is not letting the Byfron team ban the cheaters they detect, which is why there are so many now. Here is a metric from the game Apocalpyse Rising 2 which now shows December’s cheater levels equal to those of Pre-Hyperion.


There has not been a significant update to the Windows version of Hyperion in months now. They are just letting it rot here as they talk about adding more AI moderation instead. If you would like more info send me a DM, I’ve collected information about this and I’m doing a writeup detailing the likely reason Roblox is not doing anything about this issue.

Perhaps it’s also that some new giant popped up after the synapse shutdown? I think that was a major blow to the hacker community.

Not at all up to date with new injection clients though. It’s just that I noticed way more hackers now. Good to see it’s not just me. Feel free to send me a DM :+1:.

dont call them hackers. they are nowhere close to that

Nobody today even comes close to what Synapse was, exploits are simply becoming more accessable, especially the recent executor “Swift” that has popped off because it is seemingly free, basically a replacement for KRNL if you remember that.

sir they bypassed the anti cheat again

Exploiting is on the rise again, recently I’ve banned more than 20+ accounts within the last week for hacking / exploiting. Seems as if Hyperion is being bypassed like it’s not even there now.

I don’t think Hyperion is even working anymore, everywhere I go to there are still exploiters ruining the fun

Hyperion is introducing significant change actually. As of last week, the pushed update caused the majority of exploits to get patched. I’m not going to express in detail what these changes entail, however it’s working as intended. I spend a lot of my free time reverse engineering cheats and Hyperion to post findings on HackerOne. I have a few pending reports that I won’t disclose, however the reports will patch a few operable exploits. Always remember, just because exploits exist doesn’t mean they aren’t detected.

Not hackers, exploiters!,

(Bonus points if you call them skids)

the skid that stream snipes kreekcraft got a cease and desist

its working better than ever, all executors are currently detected by hyperion and will get you banned each banwave

I’m sure that this is wrong, they can’t C&D you for that.

Any new updates? It’s been 5 months, and we still haven’t seen improvements. Unfortunately, anti-cheat at the moment seems practically non-existent, with exploiting reaching pre-Byfron levels of frequency. Surprising that Roblox remains in this state especially with the million-dollar Hunt competition coming up.

Yes, but we are tight-lipped about it :slight_smile:

Looks like alt detection on bans is working better now. Definitely helps protect against hackers that create new accounts constantly.

Exploiting got worse, I get now on 500ccu+ games 1-2 exploiter per server (10 users). There are still after 3 years the same discord servers and websites up of well known exploit. How is it possible that roblox isn’t sending a C&D letter to these people ???

I’ve noticed that it seems like accounts made before the ban aren’t affected by the Ban API’s alternative account detection, meaning if a hacker creates multiple accounts prior to getting banned, they can switch to an account they previously created. I’m not sure if this is the case, but I’m pretty sure about this, as I’ve still had hackers rejoin on a new account after getting banned with Ban API.
