What sets games apart from other applications on the web?
Almost nothing and everything! While many games are just like any other modern website with an API, database, data going back and forth games introduce a interesting new vector in it all.
Not only can items in games be worth a lot of money, accounts can be grown and harvested to be sold and games themselves can become the attack vector for something else.
With internet entertainment having evolved from game trailers, to Let's plays, to streamers, to VTubers we see attacks targeting single individuals to harass or dox through the games they play.
So what attacks do we see, what design patterns do we use to minimize our attack surfaces and what can happen when we fail?
Let's take a dive beyond the normal problems with web applications into the world of games.
