about hacks

hi,

I want to start learning on how to make my own hacks or at least get an idea from where I should start

I know the overall basics of programming

other than that... is there anything else I should start looking into, for example source engine, reverse engineering, etc?

i know coldreader had some info on that somewhere in his thread but i cant find it anymore

im not asking for hacks btw and just want help

thanks

Hmmm as far as i know there are some basic tutorials on this forum

You'll need to understand way more than just the basics. If you can understand most of this stuff in C++ and can write it proficiently, you're pretty solid. All you'll need from that point is to learn how to use the Windows API to hook into processes.

Understanding WinAPI will get you nowhere. Actual hacking requires reverse engineering (implementation is the easy part).

And someone is supposed to understand reverse engineering without first understanding programming and computer theory? I guess that's your philosophy coming from a non-Computer Science perspective.

It's true, you need both skills to hack. Although really you only need knowledge of programming. If it wasn't for hack-detection processes, hacking something such as ohk is very easy. Assuming the values for a user's attack damage are client sided, one can return a pointer to a memory location where the value is stored and change its value within the external program.

The bottom line is that the theoretical side of manipulating any program is all done using programming. Reverse engineering is only required to decompile and attempt to reverse obfuscation of files and data.

Reverse engineering is used to find anything of use (e.g. finding the attack damage, case and point). Of course you gain a slight bit of programming knowledge through reverse engineering (although not to the point you should be considered a programmer). This slight knowledge is enough to implement whatever you want to get done. You are certainly not a programmer but at the end of the day you can still hack.

I started out as a reverse engineer and had little knowledge on how to program, of course along the way I learned in order to make life a little easier but by no means was it necessary to learn how to program.

Reverse engineering is the basis of all hacking.
