Hi all.

Anyone know a solution for preventing client spoofing for sending data with flash apps?

Like say with sending high scores for a flash game?

Let's say you have a flash game. Someone decompiles the SWF, (and grabs all the relevant SWFs in case you were using loader shell SWFs), extracts the url to send the scores to, then creates a flash app to mimic yours just for sending fake scores (now that he/she knows the proper variables & values to send after having decompiled your SWF and had a thorough look at your algorithms).

How does one prevent client spoofing? (building a fake app that will pretend to be legit and send illegal data)

Let's say a PHP or ASP file receives the scores from your flash game.

Is there any way to authenticate that the scores are coming from a legit app?

http referrer doesn't seem to be working properly with Flash.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

-Naz
