 Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2019 9:56 am Post subject: Finding Address Of A Value In A Self Written Game |
 |
|
Hey there,
I've written a simple game which the health is decreased or increased using buttons. I started to hack the health value but couldn't find it.
I've tried enabling Or disabling fast scan & All types of values including byte, 2 byte, 4 byte, 8 byte, float, double & string but none of them showed me the value 
I guess that the value is string but I tried string scanning with & without "Case Sensitive", "Writable", "Executable", "CopyOnWrite" options
Can Anyone out here help me find it?
The Game is written in windows form C# and the code for decreasing life is:
| Code: |
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.label4.Text != "0")
{
if (this.label4.Text == "10")
this.label4.Text = "0";
if (this.label4.Text == "20")
this.label4.Text = "10";
if (this.label4.Text == "30")
this.label4.Text = "20";
if (this.label4.Text == "40")
this.label4.Text = "30";
if (this.label4.Text == "50")
this.label4.Text = "40";
if (this.label4.Text == "60")
this.label4.Text = "50";
if (this.label4.Text == "70")
this.label4.Text = "60";
if (this.label4.Text == "80")
this.label4.Text = "70";
if (this.label4.Text == "90")
this.label4.Text = "80";
if (this.label4.Text == "100")
this.label4.Text = "90";
}
|
where button1 is the button that decreases health & label4.Text is representing health value.
Thank You...

this is not a useful post, but if you cant hack your own program .. then  .

strings are difficult because they get reallocated when replaced by a different string

Thanks Dark Byte for your reply,
I'm kinda new in your cool CE so can you show me a way on how to find the value address for this?  |

First off, I think you might want to reconsider how you're programming the health, that will save you a lot of hassle. If string memory is reallocated randomly then that means the only way you can "hack" your health value is to change the assembly instructions to stop it from doing that.
The reason you couldn't scan for number values if because you don't have a single number type in that function.
If you want to use a number for your health value instead, you'll be able to "hack" it a lot easier. You would define a variable for health outside of your function and then do arithmetic on it every time you click as you are now and update the label to equal your health variable.
| Code: |
int myHealth = 100;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// don't go under 0 health
if (myHealth > 0)
{
myHealth -= 10;
this.label4.Text = myHealth.ToString();
}
}
|
This isn't the best way, but it's a start in the right direction. If you make these changes you'll find that if you scan for a 4 byte value for your number you'll find your health. This is because you're finding the variable "myHealth" in memory. Now you could change it to 1000 for example and next time you click your button it will be 990 (because it subtracts 10 from 1000).
I hope this helps however way you want to approach this problem.[/code] |

LeonBlade, Thank you so much for your reply & I appreciate it 
But I have already tried hacking integer type values & I'm trying to learn hacking/editing string type values. |

Try a different programming language to learn that first, or use a different form of assigning.
e.g
| Code: |
this.label4.Text = myHealth.ToString();
|
Will change the pointer of label4.Text because it reallocates the string
