[REPOST] Detection Ideas For An Antivirus Plugin

Help and Feedback Game Design Support
#1

Please tell me if I need to move this to a different category

Hello everyone reading this!

I am currently making an advanced anti virus plugin called SafeShield, and I want this plugin to be way more advanced than your regular common name detection plugin.

The problem is I don’t have many ideas on what different kinds of detections I should make.

Right now I have:

  • Name/Phrases
  • Simple Obfuscation
  • Hexadecimals
  • ASCII Lettering
  • Base64

If you have any ideas of more detection concepts, please suggest them below!

Recent Suggested Ideas:
@agentphilip07 - Detecting invalid characters in a model name
Feedback - I think this is a great idea!
@Chaos_Geo - Detecting common patterns in code
Feedback - The plugin already detects patterns and harmful code
@ThunderCobra48 - Detecting require(id)
Feedback - This is kind of inefficient since you can just be requiring a useful model, instead the plugin already checks the id inside of require and matches it to known virus asset ids

I am also thinking of adding checks for malformed strings

Example: “brok3n” instead of “broken”

I am still looking for ideas, please comment things down below if you have any concepts of detections that should be added to this plugin!

Maybe a reporting system? You could report a user if their code has a virus in it, and then warn users when they insert a model from the user.

#5

How would reports be moderated/looked on?

#6

Maybe with excel or google spreadsheets? I usually don’t use http service or make plugins.

I could consider something like a report system for users. Probably will be inefficient since roblox already moderates most users who try to perform malicious scripts
