Mini-games, due to their high popularity and large player base, are more susceptible to disruption by game-related black and gray markets. Compared to client-based and mobile games, mini-games are easier to Hack, leading to frequent incidents of mini-game Hack in the market. Mini-games primarily face the following categories of game security issues:
▎Mini-Game Hack
Hack poses the primary security risk for mini-games. Hackers can use various tools to analyze and crack mini-game packages, extracting source code and resources contained within.
By retaining the game framework while replacing the art assets and advertising modules within the game package, then repackaging and relisting it, this practice severely impacts the original game developer's revenue.
▎Game Resource Leakage
Once a game package is Hacked, it can lead to the leakage of resources such as code, images, videos, and audio files contained within. These resources may be used for competitor analysis or even repackaged and resold, causing immeasurable damage to the game.
▎Communication Protocol Hack
Hackers can use packet capture tools to crack game communication protocols, disrupting normal client-server interactions to tamper with data and in-game logic. Such actions provoke dissatisfaction among legitimate players, damaging the developer's reputation and revenue streams.
To address the aforementioned security challenges, JikGuard has meticulously crafted a tailored protection solution for mini-games and mini-programs. This solution effectively combats issues such as Hack, resource theft, and code plagiarism, ensuring robust security for mini-games. Key features include:
■ Mini-Game Code Protection
JikGuard provides comprehensive protection for mini-games, including code encryption, obfuscation, anti-debugging, and tamper-proofing. It employs a binary non-script implementation for enhanced efficiency and security.
■ Mini-Game Resource Encryption
Unlike other mini-game hardening solutions on the market that merely obfuscate JavaScript code, JikGuard has developed a highly engine-integrated encryption method:
It adapts different resource encryption approaches for various game engines, maximizing protection for in-game assets such as images, audio, and video. Currently supports Unity and Cocos engines.
■ Mini-Game Communication Protocol Protection
JikGuard provides communication protocol protection and data verification for mini-games, enabling precise validation of both upload and download data. This effectively prevents protocol hacks and safeguards against game tampering.
■ Intellectual Property Protection for Mini-Games
JikGuard provides image watermarking and steganography for in-game art assets, offering robust support and protection against infringement and unauthorized use.
Beyond that, JikGuard's mini-game encryption solution achieves zero integration costs and automated configuration. No SDK integration is required, nor any complex setup—simply configure a gamekey and run a single command line to complete hardening within 30 seconds, without generating redundant package sizes.
