I need to build a web based (html/js) game where the user earns/scores points. At the end of the game, the user enters their details on a form and it, along with their score, are submitted to the server (via ajax post) to be stored in a database. There is a leader board and prize element based on points ranking.My question is, how can I prevent users from hacking this game? Im thinking that someone could easily alter the points/score values being posted to the server using the browser's dev tools or a web proxy like fiddler. The prize for this is fairly decent, so it would be worth someone's time to try to hack it. Im looking for a solid solution to this, and not just some 'make it harder to hack' answer
