Do GUID (UUID) Key Code needed on RemoteFunction as extra security validation?

If yes, then this may waste some byte size due extra GUID value on data but this help to prevent being exploitable even the receiver data is already bit unreadable
  • Yes
  • No

Note: Currently RemoteFunction may having a random chance to loss on retrieving call or call being corrupted.

#121

If you actually need to do this then there is something wrong with your backend.

RemoteFunction can be hooked but with Intergrated RE replacement as remote function may cant be hooked (not sure cuz am not good on exploits) but am just asking if this is needed for a validation security. the module is also freezed (table.freeze) but i heard they can modify local variable from mem.

Rewriting Entire FastNet2 module for less complex system and more readable code

Hey, thanks a lot for sharing this module! Been using it as a resource to learn for one solely purpose to find why it faster than BridgeNet2 despite it not ready for use/producted, also it was really hard to know why, so it was a relief for me when you said you decided to rewrite the network module to make it more readable and less complex. Also been wondering how it compare to NetworkContract by nidor_x, he did a big benchmark in the post but with different data type and I don’t think it will be the same unless it the same data.

i have just checked NetworkContract module source code from github repo (v1.2 LTS) so the cons may here for NetworkContract mostly must be:

  • Outdated Module soonly?
  • No FreeThread & Multi-FreeThreaded
  • Multi-Remote usage (creating new remote instance every new remote)
  • encode & decode can causes slowdown/slow and worst efficient for server-client (depens to usage and traffic)
  • Send every Send function called (No Per Frame)
  • This module are designed not for the fast and efficient? few bottlenecks?

i think that overall.

This is what happens when a builder tries to be smart :rofl:

How can you not see the big text that says “.toml” and “.json”?
