Grand Theft Auto Online can be modified using a range of cloud files, which were designed to configure the game without the need to release a title update. One of these elements were created for hotfixing exploits, bugs or other urgent changes using DDS (Dynamic Downloadable Scripting).
This list does not include modifications made through tunables or other cloud files as they are published already by other sources.
Please feel free to ask questions about the changes listed here.

Hard Save Explanation: Game functionality which is a high-risk for exploitation, for example vehicle selling, is protected using a special save trigger. This will ensure that if the session is ended suddenly or the connection is terminated, the data can still be submitted to Rockstar Game Services later on. It will remain in encrypted cache until synchronization is completed.
There is a slight increase in the number of tools available, which are offered as an alternative to a standard mod menu, using offsets rather than natives to make unfair changes to the game environment. Rockstar have shown attention, due to a recent hotfix targeting players attempting to win continuously at the Diamond Casino.
Whilst their attention will be focused on GTA$, RP and Casino, it is not recommended to use these tools. It cannot be detected in the same manner as a mod menu, however options of the following nature are high-risk for a ban or suspension:

DRM and game code which is not (at present) able to be changed without a patch. This system has a history of being renewed after a fresh update; players experiencing a short period of cleanness and then a sudden burst of modding once a new circumvented tool is launched.
Based on some recent changes we have seen, Rockstar are currently making use of the small resource they have at introducing new detection to the game using only Rockstar Game Services, in addition to protection against these changes causing instability for players such as freezing.
It is now highly likely that in the next patch, there will be a significant overhaul of the anti-cheat system, meaning a consistent ability to detect evading tools without needing to release a patch each time. Red Dead Redemption Online already utilizes a more advanced system than that of GTA Online, so perhaps this is an attempt to bring both titles up-to-date.
More information will be added to this article once we expand our research. For the time being, this is only an estimation based on OTA code we have analysed.
