Security Testing for Games
Online games are high-value targets for hackers, cheaters, and bad actors. From account theft and in-game economy exploits to DDoS attacks and unauthorized data access, security vulnerabilities can devastate a game and its community. Kreonit provides specialized security testing for games — identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities before attackers find them first.
Security Testing Services We Offer
Penetration Testing
Ethical hacking of your game client, server APIs, authentication systems, and admin panels to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. We provide detailed reports with severity ratings and remediation steps.
Anti-cheat Vulnerability Assessment
Analysis of your anti-cheat implementation for bypass methods, memory manipulation vulnerabilities, and speed hack possibilities — with recommendations for hardening your detection systems.
Economy and Transaction Security
Audit of in-app purchase flows, currency transactions, and item trading systems for duplication exploits, race conditions, and payment bypass vulnerabilities that can devastate game economies.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should security testing happen?
Security testing should occur at multiple stages: after core architecture is built (design review), 4-6 weeks before launch (full pentest), and after any major feature additions (targeted audits). Security is not a one-time event.
Do you test mobile game security?
Yes. Mobile-specific testing includes APK/IPA reverse engineering analysis, certificate pinning verification, local storage security, and API authentication testing from mobile client perspectives.
What compliance standards do you test against?
We test against OWASP Mobile Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, PCI-DSS requirements for payment handling, and GDPR requirements for personal data protection.
Do you provide a fix-and-retest service?
Yes. After findings are remediated by your team, we conduct a retest to verify vulnerabilities are properly closed — included in our full penetration testing engagements.
