I know that online game hacking isn't allowed to be discussed but I'm not asking a question of how to hack an online game but I'm asking a question of how to protect a game from being hacked. I'm aware that there is a way to update a game so that all the memory addresses including pointers can be slightly changed. Could someone tell me what to google like a term for this so I can learn more about it. Would appreciate it but understand if even this isn't allowed. Thanks either way

Cheers for the response man. Yea I know that simply changing the addresses is a poor way to go about it. The game that is having issues are never going to do anything serious. the developer for the game probably doesn't have a clue what he is doing. But I had seen an example of what seems to be a simple and quick method cause I've seen it done in less than 5 minutes but had no idea what the method was known as or what to google.

For updating structures, you just have to find the addresses again and re-reverse the structures. You can use injection points to start the reversing, and some times you can just add a little to the structure sizes to see if you get lucky.

I think that is what's being done because the addresses for the 2nd game in question were all changed but only slightly. For example a particular address might of been 0x5217238 and then. it was changed to 0x521723C and It effected pretty much every single address that could be used for cheating purposes. I'll pass that info on and hope they can do something with that
