As the title says, ceserver (running as su of course) has no speedhack effect on programs.
Both ceserver and libceserver-extension.so have read write and execute permissions on all users and the apps im targeting are 64 bit. I'm running Linux 4.10.0-33-generic kernel on Linux Mint 18.2 'Sonya'.

Additional info:
There are no errors when i set speed multipliers and ceserver output is:
gist(dot)github(dot)com/Daswf852/a6e95b19db8e06d92f58c31373e92935
(there are 54k lines soo pastebin wouldnt accept that big of a file...)

P.S: sorry for avoiding me not being able to post links but the log is pretty damn big...

Not sure.
libceserver properly gets injected into the target and communicates as it should

perhaps the program's you've targeted use another function besides gettimeofday and clock_gettime

check the disassembler to see if those functions are hooked

selinux is permissive ?

daswf852@daswf852-pc ~/ceserver $ getenforce
Disabled

I tested on firefox and java
And could you guide me on how to see if the functions are hooked?

Sorry for late reply :/

try testing on an actual game instead of emulators like browsers and java. speedhack often doesn't work well on those, even in windows

and to check if it's hooked open memory view and go to the address of 'gettimeofday' and check if there is a jmp there after activating speedhack

I tried using a real 'game' which is The Powder Toy, it seemed to have no effect.
I made a small program that explicitly uses gettimeofday (can be seen in attachment) and got the error in the image...
I'm not sure on how to find where gettimeofday in a large application which doesn't explicitly uses gettimeofday in the source code, please help me out on that Smile

Note: the app i wrote is 64 bits soo idk why the error was given

don't run your program inside a debugger as that may block the .so injection

and to find the address open memory view, select the disassembler, press ctrl+g and type in
Code:

gettimeofday

Update: I filled gettimeofday with nops to see if it would effect anything, nope filling gettimeofday with nops dont do anything.

maybe the memory isnt actually being edited? Well that wouldnt be the case since i can change variables with memory scanning...

EDIT: changes are saved in memory, after restarting cheatengine and ceserver they are visible on the memory view (as a nop sled) soo I'm now more confused..

I have no idea. Perhaps it's using a different version of gettimeofday (e.g a built-in one)

Well, thanks for help... I guess I can't speedhack in linux... But why is the same result given in all applications?

Update, I downloaded a copy of slacko linux iso and booted it in a virtual machine, the app, powder toy, which i ran on both systems, got succesfully injected and speedhack worked.

I'll try out a larger iso and a fresh install of linux mint when i get back home and have unlimitied itnernet (I'm limited to 10 gigs of mobile data...)
