❓ Question. Hacks in C++

Hello,
I have just a question.
I saw a tut on wich we can see how to make a very little console program.
And what we have to do is change two values of a little program ( called "programme test.exe" )( I can't find the thread )

I code in c++ since more than 3-4 years.
And i want to try making hacks. But the only problem is that I don't really know API Windows. ( Going to learn it )
And another problem is that i used to made only basic things :s
So I think that trying making hacks can be good for my skill.

But, i want to know something.
With the code given in the thread i talk about, can i, as an example, make a hack for warrock ?
If I make a pause during x second ( while the game is started ) and then I write in the process memory ? It won't work because of HackShield ?

I'm going to have a look in the c++ tut hacking.

I know i'm not very clear. Sorry for it.
And thanks if you help me.

Epic Fail:

You code in C++ 3-4 years, and you dont know what API´s are ? ... made my day

....

When he say : "I code in C++ more than 3-4 years" than a normal person know what API´s are, and for what you can use API´s. He know the basic of C++, so he can´t say that he code C++ /yea.

Yea, API´s are realy important when you will code hacks.
For the beginning, you can look for the API´s: ReadProcessMemory, WriteProcessMemory, GetProcessPid, FindWindow.

With these API´s you can code a Memory cheat. Memory cheats are very simple and for the "hack-coding start" very good, i think

And a tutorial, about Cheat-Engine and OllyDBG (or another debugger) is important for you

To use WriteProcessMemory on any hackshield based game I think you would need to unhook in ring 0/kernel mode, as I am pretty sure that hshield hooks in kernel and not userland. And that is something you can forget doing for a long time now unless you find something to leech, thats complicated.

Thats why dlls are used, a lot easier to do stuff when you share memory with the process

But my advise as usual to grasp the basics is to first find a easy target (like minesweeper or something like that), learn to look for addies, use a simple base to get a handle to the process and use writeprocessmemory on it. There are tons of examples/bases like that. Then you should proceed with learning about dlls and how you inject them.

Is API for the basic? Because i haven't see this yet in my C++ Book.
