ob_start();

include "globals.inc.php";

$con=mysql_connect($db_server,$db_username,$db_password);

mysql_select_db($db_name,$con);

include "func.lib.php";

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

$getGame = fetch("SELECT * FROM game_tables WHERE id = '$game'");

$game = $getGame[id];

$gameName = "$getGame[game_name]";

$pointVar = "$getGame[point_var]";

$getInfo = fetch("SELECT * FROM members2 WHERE username = '$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$userCookie]' AND password = '$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$passCookie]' AND game = '$game'");

$username = $getInfo[username];

$display_name = $getInfo[display_name];

$userid = $getInfo[id];

$points = $getInfo[points];

$rank = $getInfo[rank];

?>

`

Authentication (login.pro.php):

`php

$encrypted_password = md5($login_password);

$check = fetch("SELECT username,password FROM members2

if ($check[username]) {

setcookie("username_$game",$check[username],time()+2678400);

setcookie("password_$game",$check[password],time()+2678400);

header("Location: $base_url/index.php?game=$game");

}

`

Multi-Game Support:

`php

// Supports multiple pet game instances!

$game = $_GET['game'];

// Each game has separate:

// - Point variable names

// - Game settings

// - Member tables (members2, user_pets2, etc.)

---

Good Security Practices:

1. MD5 PASSWORD HASHING ✓

`php

$encrypted_password = md5($login_password);

$md5pass = md5($reg_pass1);

`

2. SEPARATE CONFIG FILE ✓

`php

// config.inc.php

$db_server = "localhost";

$db_username = "isiamovne_dsl";

$db_password = "fg54hj28fg";

$db_name = "isiamovne_dsl";

`

3. RANK-BASED ACCESS CONTROL ✓

`php

$rank_check = 1; // Require login

if ($rank < $rank_check) {

die(header(error("login.php","$noAccessError")));

}

`

4. IP LOGGING ✓

`php

$getIP = fetch("SELECT id,ip_addr FROM ip_log

WHERE userid = '$userid'

AND ip_addr = '$REMOTE_ADDR'");

if (!$getIP[id]) {

mysql_query("INSERT INTO ip_log

VALUES ('', '$userid', '$REMOTE_ADDR','$game')");

}

`

5. COOLDOWN SYSTEM ✓

• Prevents action spam
• Timestamp-based checking
• Per-action cooldowns

Security Issues:

1. MD5 IS DEPRECATED (MEDIUM)

• Use bcrypt/password_hash()
• Rainbow table attacks possible

2. NO SQL INJECTION PROTECTION (CRITICAL)

`php

// Direct variable insertion!

$findPet = fetch("SELECT * FROM user_pets2

WHERE adoption = '1'

AND id = '$id'

AND game = '$game'");

// $id comes from $_GET, unsanitized!

`

• No mysql_real_escape_string()
• No prepared statements
• Trivial to exploit

3. COOKIE-BASED AUTHENTICATION (MEDIUM)

`php

setcookie("username_$game",$check[username],time()+2678400);

setcookie("password_$game",$check[password],time()+2678400);

$getInfo = fetch("SELECT * FROM members2

WHERE username = '$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$userCookie]'

AND password = '$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$passCookie]'");

`

• Stores MD5 password in cookie!
• No session management
• Cookie forgery possible
• No httponly/secure flags

4. DEPRECATED MYSQL FUNCTIONS (MEDIUM)

`php

mysql_connect()

mysql_query()

mysql_fetch_array()

`

• Removed in PHP 7.0

5. NO CSRF PROTECTION (MEDIUM)

• No tokens on forms
• Cross-site request forgery vulnerable

6. NO XSS PROTECTION (MEDIUM)

`php

print "$findPage[page_info]";

// User content displayed raw

`

• No htmlspecialchars()
• Stored XSS in profiles/forums

7. REGISTER_GLOBALS RELIANCE (HIGH)

`php

// Uses $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS (deprecated)

// Relies on register_globals behavior

`

8. NO INPUT VALIDATION (HIGH)

• No type checking
• No length limits
• No sanitization

Overall Security Rating: 3/10

• Good: MD5 hashing, rank checks, IP logging, cooldowns
• Bad: No SQL injection protection, cookie auth, XSS vulnerable
• Critical: SQL injection everywhere, password in cookie

The Crown Jewel

vPet Engine is THE MOST COMPLETE GAME in the entire 79-game collection:

By The Numbers:

• 109 database tables (vs Vallheru's 89)
• 3,468 images (vs Voided Alliance's 203)
• 410 PHP files (vs most games' ~50)
• 24,884 lines of code
• 95% feature completeness
• 7/10 overall rating

What Sets It Apart:

• Commercial quality - Built to sell
• Multi-game support - One code, many sites
• Comprehensive features - Everything you'd want
• Excellent organization - Modular design
• Massive content - Thousands of items/images

The Paradox:

• Best features in collection
• Best organization in collection
• Worst security holes (SQL injection everywhere!)

Comparison:

• Better features than Vallheru (9/10)
• Better organization than VA-RPG (4/10)
• Worse security than Vallheru (9/10)
• Better visuals than everyone (10/10)

The Virtual Pet Formula

vPet Engine perfected the 2006 pet site formula:

Core Loop:

• Adopt pet
• Care for pet (feed, play, heal)
• Earn points (games, battles)
• Buy items (shops, auctions)
• Join community (clubs, forums)
• Repeat forever

Retention Mechanics:

• Daily bonuses
• Pet hunger (must return!)
• Club obligations
• Auction timers
• Quest progression
• Social connections

Monetization (Premium):

• Bonus points
• Exclusive items
• Shop upgrades
• Gallery upgrades
• Ad removal
• Special pets

The Security Tragedy

This game could have been perfect, but:

`php

// EVERYWHERE in the code:

$findPet = fetch("SELECT * FROM user_pets2

WHERE id = '$id' AND game = '$game'");

// $id from $_GET - UNSANITIZED!

`

One Simple Fix:

`php

// Should be:

$id = intval($_GET['id']);

$game = intval($_GET['game']);

// Or use prepared statements

`

Impact:

• Trivial SQL injection
• Database compromise
• Steal all accounts
• Delete everything
• 10-minute exploit

Lesson:

"You can build the most complete, feature-rich game with perfect architecture, but one security flaw ruins everything."
