I am playing a web game these days.When I try to find the address of health,I doubleclick the address to let it in the list at the bottom,then choose "Find out what writes to this address",and there is a possible address in the extro information window.But the problem is they are the same.The address writes to itself! I don't know how to go on.And the address will change everytime I enter the web game.Please tell me what to do and what's the reason of the problem.Is it the reason by game company or others? Confused
Hope to be replyed,thank nice of you!

No, the code is writing to the address.

For example:

Code:
mov [esi],eax


would mean "copy the value from eax register to the address stored on esi"

In this case, ESI will be the same address that you have found but it doesn't mean that it is writing to itself.

If it is code writes to the address, how can I go on to find out the base address just like the tutorials of CE?

It is always the code which is writing to the address as the values that you are scanning for are just data, they are not instructions. What you can do is:

1. Check if there is any other code.
2. Check the registers to see if any other of them could be the base address. An address which is close to your address.
3. Check another value which is also part of the structure and maybe you will find a code which is accessing to the base address.
