(Couldn't make the topic exactly what I wanted to, because of character limit.)

(Edit: "AppName.exe"+offset as base address from a pointer from using pointerscan with multi-level pointers. I need help understanding how C.E is accessing this pointer, explained below at my attempt.)

To make this short and sweet:

I already have the base address, I'm just having difficulty using it how C.E does. Let me explain. C.E says the "Address of pointer" is: "TESV.exe"+01165CDC, so, I go into my little project (in visual studio) and happily plug in:



Code:

DWORD dwTest = *(PDWORD)( 0x01165CDC );


I don't get what I expect back (C.E says this):

Code:

The pointer points to address [210B4A20]


I'm curious, how is this base address being accessed by C.E, I'm not trying to make a trainer with it, I'm trying to bounce off these offsets in a DLL (in C) and use this base address myself.

Edit2: I forgot to mention that I obviously checked in a debugger after I got an access violation bouncing off these offsets, silly me for doing so (too).

Apparently, though, "TESV.exe"+01165CDC is not accessed as a pointer from within the datasegment of the executable. Think I've provided as much information as possible now,

Cheers

TESV.EXE is a value as well
So it's actually value+1165cdc

Usually tesv.exe is 00400000 but it can be different in win vista if the exe supports it.
To find the modulebase use getmodulehandle (seeing the code axamples you give demand you to be in an injected dll)
