Hello!
I'm running an shockwave game (implemented with D8) on the internet. People
can play an win something. The results of the game are stored in a MS Access
DB which is altered by several php-scripts. I call the php-file from the
games file with all the parameters I need, like the name of the player,
result and so on.
Now, I have reason to believe that some player have cracked the game. I
think there are four major ways they could have done it:
1) track the communication between the game and the php-files (I know that's
not to dificult)
2) check out the computers memory or something and alter or take the values
from there
3) de-compile the shockwave file
4) something I can't even think of (any further ideas?)
Can anybody give me a hand on how to keep them out or to explore how has
cheated. Concerning the net calls I can think of an algorythem to code the
values I transmit. But for the possibilies 2-4 I don't even have a clue.
Has anybody experience with this issue?
Thanx in advance
