How I built the best Candy Crush hack ever
After receiving a lot of interest in Trivia Cracker, a Chrome extension that lets you easily cheat in the popular game Trivia Crack, I decided it might be interesting to see if the same kinds of vulnerabilities existed in other popular games. Given its insane popularity, the first game I thought to investigate, of course, was Candy Crush.
For those of you living under a rock, Candy Crush Saga is a match-three puzzle game for Facebook, iPhone, and Android, released back in 2012. Even though it is essentially a reskinned Bejeweled, Candy Crush has managed to ride the “most popular” app store charts unlike any game before it. Even now, three years after its release, it’s still going strong as a top app in both the iOS and Google Play app stores. And that’s not to mention the insane 75 million likes Candy Crush has racked up on Facebook.
