I recently had somebody warn me that my game was very easy to "hack", but I don't really know how hacking is supposed to work in roblox.

After some short research on google, all I found was a stupid cheating program you download and it does all the work for you, so I think saying "hack" is giving it too much credit.

What are some other ways people "hack" the game, and how can I prevent my game from suffering from cheating software.

workspace.FilteringEnabled = true

print'Exploiters? What exploiters?'

error'You will need to modify all your scripts to work with FilteringEnabled, as the client can no longer modify the server (And thus other clients)'

So what hackers usually do(in my experience) is that they god themselves, spawn in builder tools, and sometimes kick everyone. So you could make a script that says:
if player.Humanoid.Health > 100 then game.Players:findFirstChild(player):remove() end

- NOTE Do not use that, as that is just a general idea of what to do.

You would do the same thing for the builder tools, but it gets more complicated.

Oh and you would have the script be on a loop too

plr = something
if plr.Character.Humanoid.Health > 100 then plr:Kick() end
plr.Backpack.ChildAdded:connect(function(tool)
if tool.Name == "Something" or tool.Name == "SomethingElse" then
plr:Kick()
end
end)

To prevent people from hacking points/kills/otherstuff you have to save things on the server rather than locally.

the exploiter could easily kick other players by giving other players hp
