Thread: Flash 8 security

    Flash 8 security

    I am always having trouble with developing games in flash and watching the highscore tables get hacked, I have done some reading on flash 8 security and now with flash 7 / 8 plugin you cannot read & write remote external files thats great! But what happens if someone just uses the flash 6 plugin to post variables to the database. Is there a way to make sure your external php/asp server-side scripts only except post requests from flash apps in its domain?

    You dont need Flash to post variables to php script, they could be typed straight into address.

    Things you may want to search for:
    *HTTP_REFERER
    *.htaccess
    *cookies
    *sessions
