How to search for basic offsets (addresses)

[Nathan]

Okay, since I've seen this question come arround like 50 times already, I thought I'd make a thread about it.
I'm using an small app I made just as an example.

1) Open up CE.
2) Open up the process you want to memoryedit
3) Choose your target process (MW3 is "iw5mp.exe" for MP and "iw5sp.exe" for SP)

4) Now search for the value of the thing you want to change and hit "First scan"

5a) Now change the value of the thing you want to change (for example kill someone in MW3) and hit "Next scan"

5b) Keep on repeating step 5a until you have less than 10 addresses left
6) Now add all the found addresses into your address box.

7) Now change the value to whatever you like (or if you have more than 1, change them all, and see what ones are the correct ones)

And you're done.

Tell me if I need to be clearer in some things, because I know I'm shit at explaining stuff.

@twitter/@Moto, I suggest you sticky this, as it has been asked a lot. But you two decide if it will be stickied

Next time I'll explain how to get your addresses into C#/VB.net

Nice tut man

nice tut, but you forgot to tell how to convert those addys to offsets (it is not hard anyway..)

I did the exact same thing (before reading your post) and I found address for stuff like Kills, Deaths etc...
So I changed values of Kills, XP, Death, ... in CE and I saw the changes in barracks !
But all the changes (except XP) came back to their "normal" value (before my changes) after playing one round online.
Anyone has an explanation for this ?

Hum, as you can see in my previous post, I know how to use CE but, what offsets are for ? Can't we just use addresses ? Why convert them into "offsets" ?

If you were making a hack that checks the HP of all players would you want to do it like this:

client1 = 0x0A420C2
client2 = 0x0B72940
client3 = 0x0ff00f00
etc.

or

DWORD client[18];
for(int c = 0; c < 18; c++)
{
client[c] = 0x0329C4 + (c * 0x342);
}

lol, don't even bother Convery.

Hehe, we are in the MW3 section so here people will be grateful for my support instead of whining about what project I work with :3
They'll maybe even forget that I banned like 3k of their friends =P
