The Roblox process can load Lua code and Lua bytecode through use of the loadstring function (which can be toggled on the ServerScriptService.) It is possible, though difficult, to write Lua assembly code manually and to assemble it into Lua bytecode. Lua bytecode does not have the same structure as Lua and allows, by unconventional means, manipulation of the stack and other things that are not possible in normal Lua programming. This process is irreversible without artifacts (via decompilation) and thus was frequently used for Code Obfuscation. When Lua runs programs, the Lua virtual machine compiles code to Lua bytecode before it is interpreted. Types of exploits Bytecode through loadstring function Once done, click "Submit" to send the report to Roblox's moderation team. Before submitting the report, make sure to include as much as detail as possible. Once you've confirmed that there is an exploiter in the server, use the Reporting feature (Report Abuse) and report the exploiter for Cheating/Exploiting. 2.1 Bytecode through loadstring function.However, hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to a system while exploiting is abusing a vulnerability to do the same. Many users believe that the correct term for programs that change Roblox for a player's advantage is “exploiting”, and others believe “hacking” is the correct term. Such exploits are not bannable by Roblox, but players caught doing this can be banned by a developer if the game has moderation infrastructure, like an admin script. A good example would be the infamous "Noclip" glitch in Jailbreak, where players take advantage of the crawl script and thin walls to get into otherwise inaccessible areas. Other exploits take advantage of flaws in a game's scripts or building.

An example would be the popular "Hacking GUIs" in which many exploiting tools are put in the form of a GUI for the player. Some exploits are in the form of programs or injectable DLL files, which explicitly break the Roblox TOS, and can lead to a permanent ban by Roblox. Exploits have been defined as a form of cheating. An exploit is the use of glitches and software vulnerabilities in Roblox by a player to alter the game or gameplay for an unfair advantage.
