HexTyl ? What is This ?

Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m a student from Indonesia, and Iโ€™m still learning โ€” especially when it comes to frontend development ๐Ÿ˜… But Iโ€™ve been challenging myself by working on a serious project: a fork of the Pterodactyl Game Server panel.

๐Ÿ”— GitHub Repository:
https://github.com/HexZoNetwork/HexTyl


๐Ÿ’ก What is HexTyl?

HexTyl is my custom fork of Pterodactyl Panel with a focus on security-first design and additional management features.

I built this project independently, and itโ€™s still a work in progress. The main goal is to enhance control, monitoring, and protection for game server hosting environments.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I Modified/Added?

  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Root Panel & Extended API
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Built-in Chat System
  • ๐Ÿ‘ค Custom Profile System
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Anti-DDoS Protection (experimental โ€” not fully working yet)
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Anti Resource Spike Monitoring (Disk / CPU / RAM)
  • โš™๏ธ Various security and structural improvements
  • ๐Ÿ“ Wings [ i want to learn about go ] Some features are still experimental, especially the Anti-DDoS system. Iโ€™m actively learning and improving the architecture.

๐ŸŽฏ Why I Built This

I wanted to:

  • Learn more about backend systems
  • Improve my understanding of server management
  • Practice modifying large open-source projects
  • Push myself beyond just Html,css,js basic

Frontend is still my worst skill [ is that good using ai for frontend and reviewing this project?], but Iโ€™m working on it step by step ๐Ÿ’ช


๐Ÿค Looking for Contributors & Feedback

Since Iโ€™m building this alone, I would really appreciate:

  • Code review
  • Security feedback
  • Frontend improvements
  • Architecture suggestions
  • Any kind of constructive criticism

If you`re interested in game hosting infrastructure, Laravel, or panel development, feel free to check out the repository and share your thoughts.


Thank you for reading!
