Can exploiters gain access to a game's explorer, or something similar to it?

Asked by 6 years ago

Recently, I was trying to implement a rather low-level type of anti-exploit system to my game (Yes, it's FE). It was until I actually finished the system that I realized that if an exploiter could somehow gain access to the game's explorer or something similar to it, and they could see where the game's files, models and scripts were placed that would render my anti-exploit system completely useless.

My questions are:

Can exploiters gain access to a game's explorer, or something similar to it? If so, then is there anyway to prevent this? Also, if it is possible to gain access to a FE game's explorer; would anyone know if it's a common type of exploit? Should this even be something to worry about?

There's no such thing as the "explorer" outside of studio so do you mean can exploiters see services like ServerScriptService? of course not cabbler 1942 — 6y

Yes, there is Dex, Dex v2 and a Dex v3 coming up so I've heard. There are tons and tons of explorers for exploiters.

It's commonly used for finding remotes, and yes it works on FE.

I never heard of an anti-coregui system with an exclusion list. Could you please inform me a little? I really need to figure out how to prevent that. Michael_TheCreator 166 — 6y

In all honesty, I don't know if you can prevent dex? But if you add an anti-cheat that's actually decent it should be able to protect you from most things. Either way, if they copy your game or use an explorer they can still see everything in that game. GlidingPlane 28 — 6y

Wait, so people can steal entire games even if they're copy-locked? Michael_TheCreator 166 — 6y

not really, dex can only steal models and local scripts, it cant steal regular scripts, but only if the exploit has a decompiler bluehunter577 0 — 6y

Thank you guys for informing me. I honestly feel sad because half a year of hard work could so easily be stolen by anyone who pays for a level 7 exploit. Michael_TheCreator 166 — 6y
