Security Audits

Security is a critical component of Peer2Play’s platform, especially given the use of blockchain technology, in-game transactions, and tokenized economies. To protect users and ensure the safety of the platform, every game undergoes a thorough security audit before it is listed.

Smart Agents for Security Audits

Peer2Play employs smart agents to perform automated security audits on all games. These smart agents are designed to detect vulnerabilities, exploits, and suspicious behaviors in both the game code and smart contracts.

Smart Contract Audits: If a game utilizes smart contracts (e.g., for in-game token transactions or NFT sales), the smart agents analyze the contract for vulnerabilities such as reentrancy attacks, overflows, and logic errors that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Code Review for Exploits: Smart agents perform static and dynamic analysis of the game’s codebase to detect potential security vulnerabilities. This includes:
- Static Code Analysis: Automated review of the game’s source code to detect common security flaws such as buffer overflows, input validation issues, and insecure dependencies.
- Dynamic Code Analysis: The game is run in a sandbox environment where the smart agents monitor for abnormal behaviors, such as memory leaks, unexpected network traffic, or suspicious file access.
Transaction Security: For games that handle in-game transactions via the P2P Token or other blockchain assets, smart agents verify the integrity of these transactions by simulating various user interactions. This ensures that players’ tokens are not at risk of theft, fraud, or loss due to poorly implemented transaction logic.

Automated Penetration Testing

Smart agents also perform automated penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks on the game’s infrastructure. This includes:

Network Security: Testing the game’s network protocols for weaknesses, such as open ports or unsecured data transmissions.
User Authentication: Ensuring that wallet-based authentication systems are secure and resilient against attacks like phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks, or brute-force logins.
Data Protection: Verifying that player data (such as wallet addresses, transaction histories, or in-game achievements) is securely stored and transmitted, following industry best practices for encryption and data privacy.

Manual Security Audits for Complex Games

For complex games or games that involve large amounts of in-game transactions or significant smart contract logic, a manual security audit may be required. Peer2Play’s security team reviews the findings of the smart agents and performs additional manual checks to ensure the game is secure before listing it on the platform.

Ongoing Security Monitoring

Once a game is approved and live on the platform, Peer2Play’s smart agents continue to monitor its security:

Real-time Threat Detection: Smart agents run in the background to monitor live games for potential threats, such as unexpected transaction patterns or signs of hacking attempts.
Regular Security Audits: Games are periodically re-audited to ensure that any updates or new features don’t introduce new vulnerabilities.
