# Beat me!
## Enumeration
**Home page:**
In here, we can type our name to play a spaceshooter client-side game.
After the game has ended, it'll send a POST request to `/scores`, with JSON data:
Since the challenge has a tag called "client-side game", ***I wonder if we can control the `signature` key's value.***
**Now, let's try to modify it:**
Nope. So the back-end must checking the signature is correct or not.
**That being said, let's try to read the source code of the game:**
Oh boi... It's **obfuscated**...
**Umm... Let's search for `signature`:**
Found it!
**Then, I set some breakpoint in the for loop, and trigger the breakpoint by ending the game:**
Hmm?? `00bfuScat3d_K3y`?
What this for loop does is to **hash something? with the `00bfuScat3d_K3y` salt**. The `_0x8a3192`'s output is the correct `signature`.
However, I tried to copy and paste that for loop statement to generate the same `signature`, but no dice...
**Also, there is a big long list of array:**
In that array, we can see there is a method called `setScore()`:
Again, I tried to find where does this method is being called, no luck.
## Exploitation
At this point, **I'm trying to control the score, so that the hashing for loop statement will generate the correct `signature`.**
**Now, we can set a breakpoint when the hashing statement's function is invoked:**
**Then, gain some points and end the game:**
As expected, we hit the breakpoint.
Next, I noticed that the `_0x359a29` variable's value is `2`, which is the current game state's score.
**Hmm... Can I access that variable in the "Console" tab during the breakpoint??**
Wait, I can? I never seen this before!!
That being said, we can modify `_0x359a29`'s value in the "Console" tab!!
**Since the challenge's description says "Your goal is to beat him.. by any way". Let's update the score to `1337421`:**
As you can see, it's updated!
**Let's click the "Resume" button to finish the breakpoint:**
**Then, in the Burp Suite HTTP history, we should see a response with "Invalid signature":**
Finally, send that request to Repeater, and ***change the `score` key's value to `1337421`***:
Boom!! We successfully beat the pro player, and got the flag!
- **Flag: `PWNME{Ch3a7_0n_Cl1en7_G4m3_Is_n0T_H4rD_87}`**
