Hello guys,
I was trying to make a simple trainer for WARFRAME.
I got a 5 level pointer,i calculate it and i get '0'.
I cant understand where i fail,can you help me ?
This is the FULL code :

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <TlHelp32.h>



using namespace std;


DWORD dwGetModuleBaseAddress(DWORD dwProcessID, TCHAR *lpszModuleName)
{
   HANDLE hSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, dwProcessID);
   DWORD dwModuleBaseAddress = 0;
   if (hSnapshot != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
   {
      MODULEENTRY32 ModuleEntry32 = { 0 };
      ModuleEntry32.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32);
      if (Module32First(hSnapshot, &ModuleEntry32))
      {
         do
         {
            if (_tcscmp(ModuleEntry32.szModule, lpszModuleName) == 0)
            {
               dwModuleBaseAddress = (DWORD)ModuleEntry32.modBaseAddr;
               break;
            }
         } while (Module32Next(hSnapshot, &ModuleEntry32));
      }
      CloseHandle(hSnapshot);
   }
   return dwModuleBaseAddress;
   /*_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________*/
}


int main()
{
   int value = 0;
   int hack_ammo = 99;
   HWND hwindow = 0;
   while (hwindow == 0)
   {
      cout << "Handle in corso\n";
      hwindow = FindWindow(NULL, L"WARFRAME");
      Sleep(1000);
   }
   cout << "Handle Riuscito\n";
   DWORD dwProcessID = -1;
   GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwindow, &dwProcessID);
   if (dwProcessID == -1)
   {
      cout << "ProcessID non acquisito..\n";
   }
   HANDLE hGameHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, dwProcessID);//
   DWORD EXE = dwGetModuleBaseAddress(dwProcessID, L"Warframe.x64.exe");

   cout << "Proecess id : " << dwProcessID << " Base Address : " << EXE<<endl;
   DWORD thebase = EXE + 0x01A4DC50;
   DWORD thefirst = thebase + 0x510;
   DWORD thesecond = thefirst + 0x520;
   DWORD thethird = thesecond + 0x7f0;
   DWORD thefourth = thethird + 0x4c8;
   DWORD thefinal = thethird + 0x140;
   


   while (true)
   {
      ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thefinal, &value, sizeof(value), 0);
      cout <<"Ammo = "<<value<<endl;
      if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_INSERT))
         WriteProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thefinal, &hack_ammo, (DWORD)sizeof(hack_ammo), NULL);
      Sleep(1000);


   }


   return 0;
}

While you put thethird instead of thefourth when assigning thefinal, that's not your main problem. You're not dereferencing the pointers as you traverse the pointer path.

Pointers are addresses that store another memory address. Hence, you have to read from the pointer to find out where it's going. All you're doing is just taking the EXE and adding a bunch of offsets to it without reading anything.

If you want thefinal to be the address and not the value, then just do ReadProcessMemory or something on thebase, thefirst, thesecond, thethird, and thefourth (leave out the offsets).

Okay,thanks for your answer.
Can you give me an example with some code?
Because i tried,but maybe i didnt understand the point of what you meant.
The code that i tried :

Code:

ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thebase, &thebase, sizeof(thebase), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thefirst, &thefirst, sizeof(thefirst), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thesecond, &thesecond, sizeof(thesecond), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thethird, &thethird, sizeof(thethird), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thefourth, &thefourth, sizeof(thefourth), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)thefinal, &thefinal, sizeof(thefinal), 0);
   tot = thebase + thefirst + thesecond + thethird + thefourth + thefinal;
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)tot, &tot, sizeof(tot), 0);

Pseudo-code:
Code:
DWORD thebase = EXE + 0x01A4DC50;
DWORD thefirst = readAddress(thebase) + 0x510;
DWORD thesecond = readAddress(thefirst) + 0x520;
DWORD thethird = readAddress(thesecond) + 0x7f0;
DWORD thefourth = readAddress(thethird) + 0x4c8;
DWORD thefinal = readAddress(thefourth) + 0x140;
... where readAddress(...) basically reads the 4 byte address stored at the address of the pointer you specify.

Code:

ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)(thebase+0x510), &thefirst, sizeof(thefirst), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)(thefirst+0x520), &thesecond, sizeof(thesecond), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)(thesecond+0x7f0), &thethird, sizeof(thethird), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)(thethird+0x4c8), &thefourth, sizeof(thefourth), 0);
   ReadProcessMemory(hGameHandle, (void*)(thefourth+0x140), &thefinal, sizeof(thefinal), 0);

Thank you for the answer,Sir.
Can be that the solution?

The beginning is probably wrong:
Code:
thebase = EXE + 0x1A4DC50
thefirst = readAddress(thebase+0x510)
         = readAddress(EXE + 0x1A4DC50 + 0x510)
// not dereferencing EXE + 0x1A4DC50 before adding offset 0x510

And even if it wasn't, the last ReadProcessMemory would get you the value of the end address of the pointer chain, not the address itself.

You should understand pointers first before you start messing with them.

Okay,thanks.
i will learn them before continue trainers.
