Well, they made printidentity, so I don't see why not make a function to return the identity itself.

Why? So we can make anti-exploit scripts utilizing it?

I say nay; Roblox's first-defense security should be beefed first.

You are encouraging Roblox Staff to leave the dirty work to the players....but I guess it can be put to work elsewhere.

ROBLOX should make printidentity return the identity. That'd be simpler, it wouldn't require adding anything to the API and it wouldn't break anything. It'd also be useful, without causing any security risk: when you have a script like a plugin that is only going to work if it has a specific or one of many specific security level(s), it is useful to be able to check before running the script if the identity is appropriate for running the code, and to throw an error if it is not. This avoids waste of resources and makes finding errors easier.

Right now, since nobody other than probably popinman322 has disabled the hash checker, they couldn't set the identity of all local scripts unless they sit there and break point every one, I don't think it's a priority.

@Tappier, tosh

The major design flaw of Roblox, in security terms, is that the server trusts the client almost 100% and allows it to do things it should never need to do, e.g. modify instances in the Workspace directly and read the source of server-sided scripts (I recall an admin saying that would be patched out, was it? can't remember).

Yea, server-sided script's don't replicate anymore. It does seem to just be handled my a job though, so if you start a local server it still will.

Renaming the process breaks your code.

Also, you can already tell if a user is elevated: just do didError,_ = pcall(function() print(workspace.RobloxLocked) end) and check if it didError

"Also, you can already tell if a user is elevated: just do didError,_ = pcall(function() print(workspace.RobloxLocked) end) and check if it didError"

But that doesn't tell you the exact security level, and it's kludgy.

Someone write a hacky function that checks if you can do various things and uses that to determine the access level

@Tap
HWND Wind = FindWindow(0, "Cheat Engine 6.2");
if (Wind) {
MessageBox(0, "Exploiting program detected!", "Error", MB_OK);
exit(1);
}

That would stop most players, in reality.
