HAHA
3 months -> you can understand and copy and paste a hack and know 10% about what it actually does
6 months -> your know pretty good with C++
7 months -> you got D3D under your belt
7 1/2 -> you semi understand WIN API but know enough for a hack
9-10 months -> you semi get ASM
1 year -> you should be able to make a hack on your own without help
ive been doing for 2 years
and sometimes things are still new to me
btw
dont worry about hacks until you understand C++(expert),D3D(good),WINAPI(understood) befor you try to get into hacking or else youll just be screwed
also I'm friend need help if someone can help
u get a BIG ASS C++ BOOK
AND U READ IT! i did it
