Introduction Hey Guys

Hey guys,

I'm not too sure how I managed to overlook this forum but I come from iapphacks. When that place shutdown I took a break from the ios hacking community etc. I was also away a lot on deployments and busy with the military so i didn't join a new community or anything. I don't know if there are people here that were regular members there at that time but I was a regular contributor there.

This may be a long shot but the hack I was most known for was something I created called the BFGiftWeb, BF being Brave Frontier. Long story short I was able to break into the games backend and had the ability to give any account literally anything in the game. I was also able to look at every game account that was created and I discovered a few things such as the fact that the developers had a few player accounts that were elevated to high rankings in the arena portion of the game in order to force their more competitive players to waste their gems/money on restoring arena energy in order to retain their top rankings. To clarify this was obvious as the account information i could pull also had purchase history and those staff accounts had normally unobtainable unit types and lots of gems with 0 purchase history, which was also an eye opener on accounts that did spend on IAP because people spend a lot of f***ing money on mobile games lol.

Anyways sorry back to the GiftWeb.. It was basically a website that i coded that could interface with BF and people could make an account on my site and give themselves gems and specific units etc. The site was able to push over 15,000 requests onto the BF servers before the devs noticed it and patched my access. As a final hurrah I ended up gifting every player thousands of gems at the same time which brought the game servers down and then they rolled back every account and pissed off a lot of players.

Oh and my name is Paul, good to be here.. I've missed having a community to call home so hopefully I can get back at it and start contributing again!
