A way for someone to access your server (in thsi case)

I've done multiple tests on my server and it appears this pack has or had a backdoor on it. Was wondering if that's getting removed at all?

it appears so? based on what? coudl you point to any specific files?

i have like 10-20 addons containing all sorts of backdoors, idc because i'm a singleplayer person

it isnt a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ backdoor, there is no backdoor in this, its literally just a swep pack that uses vanilla assets, go ♥♥♥♥ yourself if you really think that theres a backdoor

Has no backdoor, checked it myself

not a very fun luke after all huh

Currently there is no "backdoor" in this mod. You can easily check that - go to GMods local files, then garrysmod, then addons, then find "half-life_2_melee_pack_675824914.gma" - that's the gma file of the addon. Copy this file to Desktop, go to the bin folder of Gmod's local files. Drag the gma file over gmad.exe. This will unpack the gma and spit it back on your desktop. Go to the folder gmad gave you, then to lua. Here are all the lua files of the addon. You can check each one of them, and be sure that there's no f-ing backdoor in it.

OP's claims are dubious as hell - why would a server admin go through the trouble of conducting multiple tests on his own server instead of just check the lua files? Or is that server owner so ignorant as to not know that he can even do that?

I made this post a few years when I was first getting into GLua. I edited the base post to include this as I assumed the thread was dead. my bad
