Firebug users (and general ne’er do wells), please visit my Tunnel game again and try hacking it. I’ve rewritten the code with private variables and as far as I can tell, it’s no longer possible to mess with the important data… but I won’t know for sure until I get some feedback!

    Happy to oblige! But I didn’t use Firebug.

    Miles, care to tell what you did? That’s part of security-testing.

    That’s definitelly great!

    Why don’t you write a more detailed post about the security related tuning you’ve worked out, it would be of great help for other developers! (for me too ^_^)

    Bandreus: I’ll write something as soon as I get everything ironed out. There are still some holes which I hope I can fix…

    I played until I got on the high score list, peeked at the HTTP traffic, and resent the POST request with a higher score.

    Wow, that’s hard… I’m not quite sure how to guard against that…
