Hi there.

I have been searching a way to find how i could identify the assembly instruction that modify a value in a game that won't really let you do this easily (I won't name it, sorry Wink)

This is what access the value:

Code:

MOV EAX,[address of value]
PUSH EAX


This is what changes the value:
Code:

POP EAX
MOV [address of value],EAX


Problem 1: after the access, the program jump to a non static adress. It looks like this:
Code:

JMP dword ptr [EBX*4+ghotspotvmlongconstantentryarraystride+(Constant value)]

Problem 2: Several hundred of values are being accessed and changed this way, and can jump to different addresses depending on the above
Problem 3: From here, this would be easy if i implemented assembly code there that would tell me where it jumps. but after doing it I realised that more than one value can use the same jump.
Problem 4: The value is not only accessed when it needs to be writen. So i cannot implement something that allow trace if i identify it.
Problem 5: After high implementations on both ends - when the value is supposed to change - i realised that lot of others values just change, too.

In order to check where it will jump, i injected assembly using allocation, used another allocation to store the destination and read it using programming skills.

--------

As you can guess I bet i won't get out of this using obvious CE features, and couldn't do everything i tried using CE alone.

Do you have anything to suggest me? Like tracing using conditions: if EAX<>expected, stop tracing and try again or such.
If CE lack of such features can you tell me how to trace myself? (which dll do i need or so)
advice for reading the stack! If i can handle it using my own programming skills maybe i'll be able to trace the value after being pushed/poped until it gets affected.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully, helping. Smile
