Whats the difference between - AOB Injection and Code Injection?

All the time i use Code Injection, Never used AOB...

[STN]

AOB and Code injection are same thing except one finds the code using a signature(or AOB) then injects while another uses hardcoded addresses.

Consider this

92ace - 80 0C D8 6A mov eax, edx // PSEUDO-CODE

With aob injection, you will search for "80 0C D8 6A" (aob/signature) which will bring you to 92ace and then you write your injection code.

With code injection, you directly write 92ace (code address) and write your injection code.

The rate at which games are updating makes it necessary to use AOB injection because when the game updates, the code (80 0C D8 6A mov eax, edx ) will move to a new location other than 92ace so if you are using code injection, it will not work anymore!. But if you use aob, the signature will stay constant and your injection will still work even if the address moves.

I don't understand your second question.

This is my opinion:

Code injection is faster to load and it only works on game that have a static address for the intruction.

Aob injection is code injection+aobscan and it takes more time to load because of the scanning thingy.It will works on any intruction and the aob will always work as long as the aob signature stay unchanged.

When making a pointer, it's actually depends on the game itself.Some old game's variable can be pointed easily using 3rd level pointer or higher.Then, comes the new game that makes the pointer render useless.When it comes to this,we should probably use pointer injection -_-.Some games,you can easily use teh pointerscan but from my experience there is this game such as renpy that's making the scan useless because it can't find the right path(seriously,my 1 tera hardisk have been full of pointerscan file and it takes forever to rescan again).That's why I have to make it manually and use cmp instead, in the script to distinguish the variable.

Ultimately, you should use any method according to how the game process its variable.If only there are more simpler ways.

pointerscan diskspace will be a thing of the past (when used properly) but you may want to invest in a server farm
