Introduction to basic hacking


Basics of hacking (Memory hacking/editing)

We will start with the theory section.

Lets say we are playing a game. We have 10 lives, 9 bullets , 10 cash, 12 reputation points, 10 strands of hair.

If we want to hack the amount of lives we have, here's what to do :

1) Open Cheat Engine (CE) and open game process
2) Search for address
3) Freeze or change values

I'll explain the steps in greater detail. The first step is simple. Just open CE and open the process. No need explaining.

The second step : Firstly, search for "10" under values. Under "scan type" and "value type", leave it as "exact value" and "4 bytes".

You will have 3 addresses. These addresses are : Strands of hair, lives and cash.

Bullets and reputation points do not appear as they do not have the value 10.

How to get the address of "lives"?

Decrease your live by dying. The value of "lives" will decrease to 9. So, go to CE and search for 9.

Freeze the address by clicking on the address and the red arrow and clicking on the box next to the address. You will now have infinite lives.

Hacking Minesweeper : A pratical Lesson for memory hacking

We are going to do a timer hack. After going through this pratical lesson you should understand memory hacking.

1) Open minesweeper and open CE. Open the minesweeper process.

2) Scan for 0 and go to minesweeper.

3) Click on those boxes so that the timer starts.

4) When it goes to 3 seconds, minimize minesweeper

5) Go back to CE and search for 3.

6) Go back to minesweeper and let the timer be 5 seconds.

7) Go back to CE and search for 5.

8) You should have this address : 010056f0

9) Click on the address and click on the red arrow.

10) Freeze it by clicking on the white box.



Introduction to intermediate hacking

Intermediate hacking (Defeating DMA)

These are the steps that you should follow :

1) Search for the address that you want.

2) Add it to your cheat list and right click on it.

3) Click on "Find out what writes to this address"

4) Click yes

5) Let the value of the address change.

6) Click on address and click on "More Information"

7) You will find this sentence "The value of the pointer needed to find this address is probably xxx"

8) Take the value of the pointer listed above and replace the original address you hacked (DMA address).


Intermediate hacking (Code Injecting)

This is just a brief guide on code injecting.

Lets say we are playing a game and we want to gain more elements

Code injecting is basically modifying a game and its code. You will need Softive for this.

We modify it in assembly language.

We then create a getaway for the game code to jump to our an address that we have selected.

Usually we also add a NOP. (No Operation)

Next, we write our code that add elements

For example : SUB EAX(EBX,208)

Thats just an example and the code in actual fact doesn't look like that.
Notive that "sub" is equal to "subtract" in english.

Using a debugger such as softice, we can then change "sub" to "add" (Addition)

Then we create a set of instructions that jump back to the game code..

This way, when we use up one element, we will gain one element instead.


Hacking GTMLVL1 : A pratical lesson for defeating DMA


This is from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
1. Open up Tsearch and the GTM, pause the GTM and find the address for money



2. In Tsearch hit Autohack>enable debugger, Go into the GTM and unpause it until the money

changes, then go back into Tsearch, and hit Autohack>Autohack Window.



3. In the Autohack Window it should have popped at 4011DB: sub [esi+0x4],eax, what this means

is subtract the value of eax, from the area of memory 4 bytes away from the pointer. All we need

to know here is that the current address is +0x4 bytes from the pointer.



4. Open up your hexadecimal calculator and put in your current address(in hex), then subtract 4

from it(also in hex).



5. Convert the result of the previous step to decimal format and search for it in Tsearch. If

done correctly you should have the address 403138.



6. Hit the restart button so the location of the address of money changes, you should notice the

value of 403138 changes.



7. Read the value of 403138, convert the value to hexadecimal, then add 4 to it, this will give

you the new location of money. This will work even if you restart the program.



8. Make a function in your trainer to read address 403138 and add 4 to it, then write to that offset.

LMFAO HACKING MINE SWEEPER LOL!- good tut still... LOL MINESWEEPER

[Citizin]

Nice post, Ill sticky this.

[unregistered]

I'm sorry if i posted the wrong place.

Does the code injection works if everything is stored at serverside(MUD)?
I've used
CE (pointers dont work)
WPE pro (dont know how to encrypt data-i suck)
W32DSM89 - modify exe file (game crashed)

[drogba]

If its server side the only way is to use WPE to edit the packets or to hack the server itself (which might cause u to get jailed)

according to this board, you can get SoftICE 4.05 NT to work under windows XP.
