Welcoming Byfron to Roblox

They use three different anti-cheat systems. Hyperion is one of those systems which is written by Byfron.

This is why Byfron’s solution may not work.

1). False Positives:

Things like RbxFpsUnlocker inject into roblox as a child process. Byron could detect that, and falsely ban a player. Considering popular YouTubers use this tool and thousands of people, many will be banned. You should also remember things like RoShade as well. That injects into roblox and makes modifications. Also, there are plenty of legitimate uses for DLL injection. Theme programs, accessibility tools, and various programs that extend OS functionality can all potentially use DLL injection to give added functionality to any program.

2). Stopping the detector from detecting DLL injection

A exploit developer could analyze Byfrons anti-cheat through “Various methods which I cannot disclose or else I will be banned off the forums”, and block whats detecting it.

3). Spoofing

I see many people throughout threads that roblox bans by IP. They’re unfortunately ignorant to their answers. Roblox bans by Mac Address because IP is inefficient and could lead to false positives. For example, if someones IP is dynamic, their IP could get unregistered, then get registered by another router, then if that router wants to play roblox, they can’t. Why? Because the person using the previous IP was exploiting. Someone who is an expert in this subject can reword this to english if you fail to comprehend this. HWID, and various other posts apply to this as well. So Byron can’t detect things to well.

4). You don’t know what you don’t know

Exploit developers could find something that the Byfron developers don’t know, and it will take a while for Byfron to figure out how to block their methods. This could also apply the Byfron.

5). Conclusion

No Exploit solution is perfect, but this is better than leaving developers defenseless. Besides, we don’t know how good this company is. If it really sounds as good as they say it will be, they will stop exploiting entirely. I’m not an expert in security, but I do know a few things most people don’t.

So there’s your long version.

okay now i get, all of it and how it works, the “method part” I know of, some, MAC Addresses, from what I know isn’t that part of the router or the computer part?

MAC addresses are into the router. These can easily be spoofed by using a tool called TMAC. Also a exploit can sandbox roblox. Although, this can very easily be detected by roblox.

I for one is looking forward to this, seeing many players cheat over the past years has given me lost interest in working on my project, I’m looking forward for the release and hope to defeat them pesky insects. It shouldn’t really be down to developers to worry about these kinda fixes of having to do loads of anti exploits and such

Developer like many others are here to create an imagination, to create fun experiences, to have be destroyed by these insects is just so annoying and not the power we can provide to keep our customers satisfy

I cannot wait until the days we will not worry about click-detectors!

Will it be possible to enable/disable this anti-cheat in your games or is it forced?

From other games that use the same anti-cheat

It has though! Other games are using the same system, remember? Well, Synapse X has already bypassed that Anti-Cheat.

You’re saying that Synapse X already patched this, but how? Synapse X is only a Roblox executor AFAIK, so how can they say they patched a non-Roblox anti-cheat lol.

Welcome! I didn’t know how much I needed you until now.

This is a great addition. Often, game creators have to pay other developers to buy their anti-cheat system or just go for a worse free option. It is more practical for all games to have a universal anti-cheat system. Also, it is common to see exploiters in many roblox games that have not recieved updates in a long time. I hope this addition proves to be capable. Thank you!

Sorry yeah, what I mean is that cheats already bypassed this anti-cheat

It seems extremley unlikely for it to be another software to install because then people could just get around the anti cheat buy not installing it lol. Also, it would just be generally impractical.

I disagree. Considering Roblox has virtually no anticheat implemented, this is a significantly needed update.

Developers can’t do all the work. Just being given tools doesn’t really help. Even with the ip banning capability, how do you determine if some one is truly exploiting? All this goes back to sanity checks, which get a bit complicated if your game is heavily physics based.

Every major game has their own anticheat engine implementation. I’m surprised Roblox waited this long to do so.

It’s additional tools. You can add and remove it if needed.

Yesss, to the future of gaming!!! :sunglasses:

Thank you roblox for bringing this new anti cheat, its going to help games out so much, no more pesky hackers :wink:

Your router does not assign your device’s Mac Address. Mac Addresses are assigned to your Wifi Card/Adapter when they are manufactured.
