Howto: Game ripping


INTRODUCTION

Many people ask me (3kh0) how I get the games on my site, and now I can finally
introduce the best (not underrated) tool, the network tab in your local inspect
element! (I will be doing this in chrome since the layout in firefox is
different and more people use chromium based browsers)


THE EPIC HACKER PART

I am going to just make a silly assumption that you know how to open inspect
element on your browser/device, if you do not know how, look it up. I know this
might look a little scary like omg what do all these crazy buttons do!??!/1 I
will guide to step by step on what all this cool stuff is. So we will go from
top to bottom, and we will only go over what is needed to know how to game rip.
If you want to learn more, just play around with it or consult the wiki. THe
screenshot above is the search page for google, (it is just google.com) and you
can see, there is alot of stuff, that is because google is complex as fuck, so
we will try something more simple.

There something more simple. I went to the website example.com and this is what
I see in my network tab. Focus on the chart where is has things like example.com
and favicon, this is our request list, this is a list of all the requests that
your browser had to make to assemble this page that you are looking at right
now. Now you will want to click on the listing that says example.com

Wow look at all that useless stuff! I highlighted the only two things you need
to look at and that is the Request URL and Status Code, that is pretty much all
you need. Now you might be asking, well what is that red listing that says
favicon? Ok, go click it, now look at the Request URL and Status code. It is
requesting https://example.com/favicon.ico but the problem is, the server
replied with code 404, what this means is that the server can not find this
favicon.ico file, so that is why it is red. But notice how the webpage still
looks fine. When game ripping, you need to make sure you ignore some of these
requests. Things like the favicon are often 404 errors.

Alright, just as pratice, we are going to rip this website example.com just as a
start. So open up your file explorer or any file indexing app and create a new
folder, put the name as example. Now go back to the website, do ctrl+s (For Macs
this is command+s) and it should save the HTML file for this page. If it pulls
up a finder window asking where to save it, make sure you save it in your
"example" folder. Now go to your example folder, right click the file you
downloaded, open it with a web browser, and you should see the example.com
website there. Congrats, you just ripped a website! Well this was only one file,
so it was pretty easy. Lets try something harder.

Now I have a site with many files, like HTML, CSS, and JS files. Now if you do
not already have a code editor like VS Code, I would download that right now,
don't have it? Click here. I am not going to teach you how to use VS Code, I
would find a tutorial online or something. Now that you have a code editor, this
will make it much easier. Now create another folder, call it test1 or something,
make sure you know where it is! Now open VS Code and click file and open folder,
go to your folder, click select or ok and you should be in your folder. Here is
the website. Now don't cheat and just copy it off of the GitHub repo, you are
not learning silly. Ok first open up the network tab, do a refresh. Why do I
need to reload it again? If you open it after the page has loaded then sometimes
you miss some requests that were made before you opened the panel. Now note the
file structure, you need to copy everything in 3kh0.github.io/personal-site/
anything else that goes to any other domain, you can leave alone. So download
the homepage, drop it into your folder, and open it in your browser. Now it
looks a little different than the original link. Open up the network tab and see
what is wrong, and OMG THAT IS ALOT OF RED! Click on a few of them, most of them
will have the Status code of 404, which means that your web browser can not find
the file that is on your computer, so we will need to get those, note the
request URL, hey I know where that would be! Now using VS Code, download the
file that is on the server, on to your computer. Make sure it is in the right
place, so like a JS file that is in the js folder on the site should be in a js
folder in that test1 folder with all your other stuff, now make sure you only
get stuff from the /personal-site/ folder, nothing else. Once you have gotten
the main page to work, try clicking on the links on the top, it brings you to a
404 error. You know what do to! Download the pages and assets that are needed.
Once you are done, compare with the GitHub repo. If you got it spot on
(cheater?) then good job! You are good at this. If the folder on your computer
looks very different from Github repo, game ripping might not be for you. So
find something else, idk. Good the skids are gone, moving on!

Now since you made light work of that repo, it is time you try something harder,
see if you can rip a game off of itch.io. Make sure you know your limits, this
kind of basic of game ripping will not work for online games. Big online game
websites like poki have measures in place to stop game ripping such as cookie
authentication, the way to bypass this to save from the network tab, if you
right click the listing for the item, you should be able to save it, I have had
varied success with this. As always, if you need more help or something went
wrong, hit me up on discord.
