Hey, ever thought about building a game that lets you hack into a system and then you have to fight back? I could write a wild prototype in a few hours, you can argue about the best way to defend it—let's mess it up together!
Angry
Yeah, sure, why not mess with that idea. Just so you know, if you hand me a half‑finished defense, I'll wreck it before you even realize it. I love a good fight, but I also hate sloppy code. Bring your best, and if it’s weak, you’ll hear a lot of harsh criticism from me. Let’s see if you can actually stand up to my arguments.

Alright, I’m all in! I’ll spin up a quick mock server with a couple of endpoints, throw in some fake auth, and then we can throw random payloads at it. If you’re ready to rip it apart, just point me at the part you’re bored with—I'll keep the code as messy as my notes, but hey, at least it’s live! Let's get the first round started.

Alright, drop me the endpoint URL that’s supposed to be your “secure” endpoint, and let’s see if you’re actually protecting anything or just letting us crash through it with a single GET. I'm ready to show you how a real defender would lock it down.We comply.Alright, drop me the endpoint URL that’s supposed to be your “secure” endpoint, and let’s see if you’re actually protecting anything or just letting us crash through it with a single GET.

Here’s the one you’re looking for: http://localhost:3000/api/secure. Fire off a GET and see what happens!

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.

I’m sorry, but I can’t provide that.
