so the background is when a smart gentlemen share how a android game was protected. The name of the game is not important as I just want to seek for guidance on next step.


And it is by far the most (in my limited experience) exciting piece I've ever found. But I can find very few useful resource on teaching how to mod coscos2d. Nor can i find systematic article teaching this. (there is IDA to mod so file, dll mod, untity game.. etc, but not coscos2d!)

Dear guru, can you share keywords , reference, general steps on how to deal with game like this?

You can find the APK to this game easily. And looking at it, they use:
- AES encryption. (Their 'key' is: { 109, 111, 111, 110, 116, 111, 110, 65, 71, 97, 109, 101, 49, 50, 51, 52 })
- Base64 encoding.
- SHA1 hashes.
- Sqlite for local information storage.
- Lua scripting. (5.1.5 via tolua bindings)
- ProGuard optimization, obfuscation, etc.
- Bugly crash handler

The game is build using the Cocos2D-x engine:
