Making a Roblox exploit is hard. Unlike normal software development, developing a 'Roblox exploit requires the developer to study Roblox's internals and how the engine works. It also requires the developer to have good knowledge about Computer Science and how the Windows operating system works internally. While difficult, developing a Roblox exploit is completely feasible, provided you have the patience to do it.
Steps
Part 1
Part 1 of 3:
Obtaining Your Development Tools
-
1Download Visual Studio 2019 Community. Visual Studio is Microsoft's suite of development tools used to create software (programs/applications) for the Windows operating system. Fortunately, Microsoft provides a completely free version of Visual Studio named "Community" for those who collaborates in open-source projects or makes software as a hobby.
-
2Purchase a reverse engineering tool. The process of reverse engineering is dissecting a program's internals in order to study its behavior or its code. In Roblox exploiting, this is necessary as you need to know how Roblox works in the inside in order to make hacks for its client[1] . There are many reverse engineering tools out here, but the most prominent ones are IDA Pro and Binary Ninja.Advertisement

4Obtain a debugger. A debugger is used to locate and fix bugs in software, and in some cases, it's also used to modify a program's behavior. While not completely necessary, using a debugger may help you in diagnosing issues in either Roblox's code or your very own exploits. If you purchased (or plan to purchase) IDA Pro, then you don't have to obtain a debugger as it already comes with one (the IDA debugger). Else, you can obtain a free debugger from the Internet, such as OllyDbg.
- Alternatively, if you have Cheat Engine (a popular cheating tool for video games), then you could also use its debugging features, albeit they're known for their instability.

Learning Basic Computer Programming and Roblox Reverse Engineering
-
1Learn a programming language that compiles to native code and is (preferably) natively compatible with the Windows operating system. High level languages such as Lua, Python or Go lacks the features and compatibility needed to develop Roblox exploits, whereas low level languages such as C/C++ and Ada can manipulate structures that are necessary to make a working hack. Additionally, considering that the Roblox client is programmed in C++, it would make sense for you to make your hacks in that language too (but it's not necessary).
- Check out resources like Free Code Camp, or consider attending a boot camp where you learn more about coding.
-
2Read up guides about software reverse engineering. A lot of free ebooks/PDFs about reverse engineering can be found through a simple Google search. Some of them may require deep understanding of how a computer works, but if you narrow down your search to the subjects you specifically need to know (such as reversing C/C++ software[4] ), then you can find some relatively easy guides that'll help you understand the process of reverse engineering.
-
3Join a community focused on exploiting Roblox. Roblox's largest exploiting community out here, V3rmillion, contains plenty of guides related to developing and using Roblox exploits. While the majority of users on V3rmillion doesn't like people who are new to the exploiting scene, some can be highly welcoming and will help you in developing an exploit.
-
4Read the Roblox source code. In January 2017, a copy of Roblox's source code was leaked to the public. If you were to obtain a copy of this source code, you could easily study how Roblox's engine works without having to reverse it through a reverse engineering utility.
- Beware that obtaining the aforementioned source code can cause issues, either legally or technically (as users were known to infect the source code with malware). However, if you stay around known safe communities, then the chances of finding a clean leak of the source code are higher than anywhere else on the Internet.
-
5Ask for help from competent reverse engineers and software developers. There is a collection of veteran programmers out here always willing to lend a hand in software development, especially exploit building. Alternatively, you could watch self-teaching videos on reverse engineering, such as the suite of videos offered by GuidedHacking[5]

Releasing Your Exploit
-
1Find a medium to release your exploit. While some users want to keep their hack(s) to themselves, some want to release them to the public for the greater good of the Roblox exploiting community. You can easily locate a website to publish your exploit. In fact, any video-game-cheating websites is a good website to post your exploit on.
-
2Set up a community for your exploit. Some exploits that grew big formed a big, organized community usually revolving around a group chat. Communication software such as Discord is perfect for your exploit's users as they are free and usually bug-free, but keep in mind that exploiting communities aren't usually welcome on Discord and you may find yourself or your peers banned. Please note that you don't have to create a centralized community for your exploit: most free exploits out here doesn't grow big (this is almost always the case), so their creators usually doesn't spend their precious time creating a Discord server for their exploits.
-
3Bring it one step further and consider selling your exploit. Selling or releasing your exploit for free is entirely up to you, but if you happen to be low on funds, then selling your exploit might help you get some money. However, expect selling exploits to be akin to opening a lemonade stand: profits will be modest depending on your advertising strategy. A good price to sell an exploit in accordance with today's standards is within the range of $15 to $20.
- Take note that selling an overpriced exploit will always decrease sales, so make sure your exploit's price is adjusted depending on your hack's capabilities.

Community Q&A
-
QuestionCan I write exploits in Java?Roblox is based in C, so Java is unlikely to be compatible when it comes to injecting.
-
QuestionCan I write my exploits in Lua?Community AnswerNo, you can't. Lua is used for making a game inside of Roblox. You must use C++ to make a good exploit.
-
QuestionHow do I use my exploit?Community AnswerIt depends on what exploit you have. Most of the time, you need a ROBLOX game to be open and the DLL file injected before using it.

Warnings
- Look out for scammers. If you are selling an exploit, then make sure your sales process is very safe and uses an untraceable service for payments, such as Bitcoin or Stripe. There are malignant people out here who simply wishes to scam you out of your money or obtain your exploit for free (or gain access to your bank account(s) and private information in the worse scenarios!), so using a secure and anonymous payment processor such as Bitcoin is highly recommended.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Do not plagiarize. Exploit plagiarism is an ongoing issue in the Roblox exploit scene and unfortunately, it's heavily undetectable. Certain exploits such as "SirHurt", "ProtoSmasher", "Sentinel" and "Proxo" are known to be simply a combination of public exploits put together then sold on the market without crediting their original creators. Plagiarizing will ultimately end up in the destruction of your very own reputation.⧼thumbs_response⧽
