C++ Game Hacking Tutorial Ep.1 | Reading/Writing Memory

The absolute basics of reading/writing memory in C++.
For those of you who want to make an aimbot, or walhack: This is the place to start. You need to learn to walk before you can run.
ALSO forgot to note: If you are having errors that you don't understand, make sure you go to project / properties / Configuration Properties / General / Character Set. Change it to multi byte.

@@R00kTruth well anything really... I’m learning c++ and this is interesting but I would love to see some more tutorials on visual studio code and how to use it better or anything really that has to do with watching someone explain what there doing while writing c++... what about making your own game in c++... What about useing unreal engine to make stuff... unreal engine uses c++ and unity game engine uses C#... I basically just need someone to show me how the code works and how it links together... blender is a free tool that uses c++ and you can make anything you want..

[@manudelmarche]

Sorry guys. As much as I love the video and the explanations provided. This is not a C++ tutorial. This could have been made using barebone C.

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

@@manudelmarche I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as C, is in fact, ISO/IEC 9899:2018, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, ISO plus IEC. C is not a specified language unto itself, but rather a group of languages sharing similar syntactic structures and rough interoperability on various compilers. Many computer users run a modified version of the ISO system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of ISO which is widely used today is often called “C”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the ISO version, standardized by the International Standards Organization.

[@firesk1461]

This is the first, literally the first tutorial I've seen so far that maybe doesn't straight explain everything but at least leaves *reference* to the stuff one should look into. *Impossible...*

[@Engineer9736]

After those if statements where you check for bad outcomes and exit the application, you don’t need to use “else” for the continuation of the program. If you ended the if block with exit() or return false, the code after that block will only be executed in the else situation. This will save you a lot of indents, makes the code look a lot neater.

Usually, people who speak jaded English are more intelligent because they know more than just one language. And this is coming from someone who only speaks one language, though I am trying to learn Japanese. So give them more benefit of the doubt.

[@libummendaciumest3328]

Wait wut? "people who speak jaded English are more intelligent because they know more than just one language" ? Jaded as in: "Bored or lacking enthusiasm, typically after having had too much of something"? Or does it mean something I can't find a dictionary for? ...maybe "jagged English" or "broken English" is what you were looking for. I know some polyglots are smarter from personal experience, but being able to speak two languages badly isn't hard, and a lot of people do. Most people from around the world are passable in their own language and bad English. The only problem is when you're own language is bad English...

[@kylemartin6751]

libumMendaciumEst most of the videos related to computer programming I have watched have from content creators from India or China. I wouldn't call it broken English, because they are fluent for the most part. Hence why I called it jaded English. Their content typically is hard to understand due to their delivery or it is very bland. But hey man, thanks for trying to take a Jab at me because you assumed that I am bad at English... "Wait wut" ;)

[@libummendaciumest3328]

I'm not making any assumption about you being bad at English: "Jaded" doesn't have that definition in English, it's pretty solid proof :) Also "Wait wut" wasn't the jab, is was however the last line: "The only problem is when you're own language is bad English" ...upon which I which to pontificate: Fairest of beasts Kyle Martin, be you so damned by the coarseness of your tongue? Eloquence like mine, from which you are denied, comes freely to me. Don't covet what you have not, but rejoice in your own language: Bad English.

[@danielderwertvolle6354]

great stuff. just a few hints: - unlike return values, exit codes are usually positive - there is no need for an "else" if your "if" exits the program anyways - sizeof int and float is usually the same (4 bytes). it has nothing to do with the actual types. you could actually just put 4 on most systems.

[@RDY-ke4fn]

nice video, you have a small mistype where it says 'if (procID = NULL)' rather than ' if (procID == NULL)'

[@BJJOORRNN1]

ya, wouldn't the compiler throw up an error at you for that?

[@ShaunDreclin]

It's not strictly a syntax error, more of a logic error. You can assign values in if statement conditions

[@zayanwatchel8780]

BJJOORRNN1 no it would just assign the value

[@souptenderpanini3106]

Shaun Dreclin hey I got a question, so if the value I got from cheat engine is a string, what type of code do I write?

[@wdmeister]

That's why it's a good practice to have rvalue on the left side in "if" statements. For example "if (nullptr = procID)". In this case, you will get an error.

Maybe the memory you are trying to access in not in the stack or heap so you cannot directly change it using c++, however windows api allows you to access the game directly and all the memory its using(It's my opinion i don't know for sure, please do correct me if i'm wrong).

[@altf4magic332]

How do i Find the adress?

[@Sync-Edits]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@leonbass3275]

scan for it in cheat engine, but i wouldn't recommend just writing to the address as if it's static - it's most likely dynamic, as soon as you close the game the address will change. Do a pointer scan for the address with a pointer depth of 1 so that the results are just (Module + offset1) + offset2. Then read the contents of (Module + offset1) which will be a pointer, then write to the pointer + offset2. This way you don't have to worry about updating the addresses every time.

[@unh0lys0da16]

Why use else after an if statement with exit() in it?

[@MindlessTurtle]

Thank you! That redundancy is a pet peeve of mine. Drives me nuts.

[@shadowvampyrietv716]

Coz need app. The exit buttom xD

[@unh0lys0da16]

wat

[@zeyode]

Because that if statement only exists to check for an error that is necessary to get out of the way for the rest of the program to work. If the window it needs isn't found, it quits. Otherwise, it does its job.

[@Engineer9736]

@Zeyo, you don’t understand his point. If an if block ends with exit(), all the code after this block will only run in the “else” situation anyway. If you skip the else statement, you don’t have to go 5 indents deep which makes the code complicated to read.

But wouldn't all variables that are initialized and then immediately assigned a value in code actually just get initialized already with its value when compiled? That's one of (the many) optimizations that are standard on modern compilers.

[@le-1348]

Hi man! Nice videos. Just what I needed, I am learning a lot from you!. BTW, as I studied this , one little classic typo I noticed on line 21. Namely, as I understand, procID from that moment will be NULL due single equation symbol witch becomes assignment instead of checking equality (as in line 9), and this if will be never true even if procID is NULL. Also, I think the handle should be set up after you make sure that procID is not NULL. Best of luck and thanks for your stuff!

[@NewAgeSoldier]

I wouldn't detect if a game or program is running via it's program title. Some games or programs have window titles that are constantly changing, like DOSBox for example. Just detect if the process itself is running via its process name as that will never change. In the event the process is not available, you should do a loop and keep checking so that way we can run the game/program at another time and the trainer will pick it up whenever you decide to open the game/program.

[@kidpog3d101]

lol if you wrote it yourself and dont have it named "...cheat..." then you will be good.

[@kuhlde1337]

Sorry for being late to the party, but how would you handle a game where your target value/s can change memory locations between game runs? It would not be practical to use cheat engine to find the address each time and hard-code it (especially for an online game), so how might you go about finding the address algorithmically?

[@xmesaj2]

12:34 this doesn't show an error because float is equal size as int (int32_t by default x86 spec), both are 4 bytes. it could though give an error on different/older compiler when int was 2bytes or sometimes 8bytes if built for x64 (int could default to int64_t but usually tries to use lower sized one when possible). 1 byte is 8bits, so 4 x 8bits = 32bit, both have the same size. It's easy to check using printf(sizeof(your_int_variable_name)); printf(sizeof(your_float_variable_name));

[@Sarah-kx1pt]

Understandable. Quite clear explanation.

[@YourJoy]

What are your thoughts on Nick Cano's book? Love your stuff btw.

[@MrWorshipMe]

You've got a bug on your second if statement.. it'd never get into that if and it sets procId to null. Also, you want to have that check before using procId and not after. Also, the else statements are redundant since the ifs exit the program, so if you're after the if you're automatically in an else, you don't need to be explicit about it - it just makes the code less readable being inside so many scopes.

[@Ryan1729]

So many comments about the missing '=' but I didn't see a single one about sizeof(int) == sizeof(float). If you try sizeof(double) then you'll see two numbers in memory smashed together.

[@2GooDProductions]

besides the missing =, the else branches are unnecessary, because if the if statement equates to false it carries on after the if block any way.
