I was recently bothered by someone, and then bothered again when he told me that ROBLOX was removing bytecode loading...

Wasn't that exploit fixed?

The current exploit is impossible to fix without significant changes to the Lua VM, so really without large amounts of dev-time it would be impossible to "fix" it without simply removing it.

So it's likely that they'll leave it as it is for now? I'd be really annoyed if they simply removed loadstring.

^not removing loadstring, just its ability to load bytecode.

Yep, apparently someone found a privilege escalation attack using the original bytecode exploit. Which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Too bad, if I would ever finish my Lua compiler it would be useless for ROBLOX.

I'm currently piecing together everything that anyone has ever said about exploiting on the scripters forum, and google, to be able to achieve something.

Found the original bytecode exploit. Genius!

Why would you want a privilege escalation with the bytecode exploit - you can access high levels in Studio without using bytecode, what advantage would it give you (I'm not sure on what levels their are, though, I need to be reminded)?

I'm not sure to what extent you could escalate your privilege (I think there's a max of 7 levels), but should you reach the max one this way, you could use locked methods in a live game.

what

are you freaking serious

I assumed they had patched that when I bought my new computer when I couldn't use it... presumably it's because my computer is too darn fast, if it's the one I'm thinking of

"Explain to me what bytecode is what what exploit is happening pl0x?"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but bytecodes are the ones you use in KeyDown() events which supplement for the lack of a string value for special buttons:

Enter, Shift, Tab, Caps-Lock, Space Bar, Alt, Control, etc.

You use bytecodes so the scripts can recognize those buttons.

What happens in studio starts in studio, but doesn't have to end in studio. I believe you can join games if you have superman <- inb4linuxucwutididthar permissions.
