Typing speed test
UINT_MAX is already 2^32-1 because 2^32 is 33 bits
When you play the game and the time runs out javascript grabs your score and uses a GET request.
A GET request means the data is passed through the URL. You just don't see this because javascript is doing it for you. If you look at my screenshot you can see the data which is being sent. Since it is a GET request I know I can just copy the location and modify the values (since PHP uses '$_GET["valuename"] == whatever' I believe.)
POST would require me to forge my own POST request using the data or modify the RAM (WPE PRO does this automatically by hooking socket functions).
This game is an example of the millions of games that implement their score these two ways.
A real challenge would be to reverse engineer the encryption/decryption cipher in order to write your own program to send and receive data.
