I’ve searched about “crashing server exploit” and it seems someone can easily crash a random roblox server. But how am i supposed to prevent this?
Is the only way that exploiters can use to crash the server are remote events or are there anything else that they can use it to crash server?
You unfortunately can’t prevent them, it’s very problematic, hopefully Roblox will fix this, it’s called a ddos attack. The only current method you can do is act that you don’t know that’s it’s an exploiter and say that you fill fix the bug to the exploiter, so he gets bored and stops.
You can also Report it to Federal Law Enforcement, if you know the name. or anything.
It’s a federal crime to DDOS. in all States
The exploiters are usually able to crash the servers by spamming a remote that creates or physically affects some part/model on the server.
What you can do are sanity checks (how often does the client send the remotes?) and fake replication if possible (server does not create a part, it sends a remote to all the clients and they are creating the part, so the server is not overloaded).
That’s actually very smart, however it would still lag the clients?
As the other user stated, it isn’t a DDoS, the issue is caused by vulnerable RemoteEvent instances which can be fired millions of times.
A video posted, would argue that this is not the case, this looks like a prime example of a classic case of DDOS
September 2021, and this is in no way indicative of a DDoS attack.
That indeed is a DDOS Attack, it floods the servers depending on the Attackers ‘Bot-Nets’
I don’t think it would lag clients.
A really simple fix is to have like a checker every x amount of seconds to see how many times a player has fired the remote, if it’s a really big amount it means they’re trying to crash your server and you can just kick them so they stop firing.
Unfortunately this shouldn’t fix DDOS attacks but will allow you to kick crasher that are attempting to crash inside the game
