Remote event & hacker

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

can someone help me find out how to prevent hackers from abusing my remotes

#2

Whats the purpose of the remote?

#3

i have a few but the main purpose of the remotes were just to update simple things for the client since doing only server scripts didnā€™t work out with more than 1 player

#4

most of them just tells the server what is in the textbox

#5

Could you give an example of things it updates? And could you explain why it wont work with more than 1 player?

If you use

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) 

end)

Then the script should work for every player who joins

#6

when i first remade my scripts I tried to use little remote events as i can and make everything server-sided but that didnā€™t work it was just a test.

anyways most of the remotes do this
server

script.LocalScript.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,text,text2)
	frame.Frame.Packname.Text = text
	frame.Frame.CustomId.Text = text2
end)

client

script.Parent.Parent.Packname.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	script.RemoteEvent:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.Packname.Text,script.Parent.Parent.CustomId.Text)
end)
script.Parent.Parent.CustomId.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	script.RemoteEvent:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.Packname.Text,script.Parent.Parent.CustomId.Text)
end)
#7

client

script.Color:FireServer(color)
#8 
script.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	hum:UnequipTools()
end)
#9

You should:
1.Do sanity checks [e.x: check the typeof the needed argument[s] ]
2.Make a ā€˜cache debounceā€™ to see how fast they activate those remotes.

#10

2 i do
1 how do i do that if the remote is just passing string data to the server text box from the client

#11

if typeof(text) == ā€œstringā€ then
ā€”do stuff
end

#12 
script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	script.RemoteEvent:FireServer(script.Parent.Text)
end)
#13 
script.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Text)
    if typeof(Text) == "string" then
        --do stuff
    end
end)
#14

Depending on what the remote does, it can be prevented in multiple ways.

#15

alr then help out show me some examples

#16

if someone was to list out every single example of a vulnerable remote ever, you would be left with a book thicker than war and peace.

alr then tell me how to use this "t" - A Runtime Type Checker for Roblox

#18

it doesnt look like an exploiter can do much harm with this, one thing I would say though is to filter the text if other players can see it

I personally donā€™t like t, so I never use it.
Itā€™s lazy to not learn how to use it, but honestly I can do anything I need without a module thatā€™s 90% features that I will never need

#20

eh true Iā€™ll just find out whatā€™s going on myself
