hi,

could you be clearer on what exactly is hacked?

as a rule of thumb, if you want to make your game completely hack free, your game logic should be running server side.

this question is really application specific... i guess i would say the way to stop a user from sending a hacked request and getting away with it is , on the server side you have a handler for this client request right? just validate the request before taking any action regarding it. if its not found proper eg: a guest user wants to play a VIP game! and has sent such a request, then just check if the sender is a guest user on the serverside, if yes then deny the request.
