Смысл: The text demonstrates how a lack of server-side validation in a promotional game allows users to easily cheat by decrypting and forging the data sent to the server.
The author reveals that an Aeroflot promotional game is easily hackable because it uses simple XOR encryption and trusts client-side data for its leaderboard.
Смысл: The main idea is that client-side security is insufficient for competitive games. The author demonstrates that through reverse engineering, HTTP request manipulation, and debugger usage, almost any Telegram game can be cheated because the servers trust the data sent by the client.
A technical breakdown of how various Telegram games were hacked by exploiting poor server-side validation and reverse-engineering client-side JavaScript.
Смысл: The main idea is to demonstrate how a lack of basic security measures—such as IP rate limiting, email verification, and proper server-side expiration—makes promotional contests trivial to manipulate using basic automation scripts.
A technical walkthrough of how the author used Python, Tor, and BeautifulSoup to automate and inflate votes in a corporate 'IT Princess' contest.
Смысл: The text demonstrates how seemingly random online promotional games are often rigged by servers to control winning probabilities, regardless of user interaction, often contradicting the organizers' own legal claims of fairness.
An analysis of a retail promotional game reveals that the 'random' outcomes were actually predetermined by the server to limit prizes, proving the game was rigged.
