Potential Exploiting Tool?

A concerned user passed this link to me, the creator talks this up like it’s some kind of end-all exploiting tool. I’m not really sure what to make of it, but I’d figure I’d post it here.

This is a daily reminder that FilteringEnabled is important… but man, that is going to be a pretty evil thing to have if it actually is a thing (vs a fake tool to serve as a keylogger).

Yes indeed. Otherwise this crap can happen in a game that has hundreds of players regularly.

All I have really seen is this (within the past year):

I’ve seen skyboxes being replaced with very explicit images. How does it even get past moderation?

Either SurfaceGuis with pixel replication (laggy as hell, but hey) or a transparent image layered on top of itself many many times.

Actually there’s some weird image thingy with PNGs or JPGs, I forgot.
On the site, the image appears completely transparent.
In ImageLabels, it also appears transparent.
Even in Explorer (if you download it), it looks transparent.

If you use it as skybox, the transparency gets screwed up or something and the true image appears.
My explorer has a preview-thing, which even fails to display it at times.
If I drag it, I see the image, but otherwise, the preview pane fails: Screenshot by Lightshot (nsfw)
Opening it in Windows Photo Viewer and Paint.net just results in a transparent image.
(after looking at it in Paint.net: Seems like image has a global transparency of 3/255)

TL;DR: Moderators see a blank (transparent) image, so they just let it pass.

Yes, the skybox and mesh texture issue is with a moderation issue. I thought we didn’t normally allow solid color images for this reason.

Can you put a SurfaceGui on the skybox?

No, but you can make a sky out of SurfaceGuis if you know what to do.
