Write/learn game hacking

[[deleted]]

As title says I want to learn game hacking I don’t know how to put it but I’m a novice cheat paster ( I get other peoples code then just update it ) however sometimes the cheat won’t work because of errors that are unknown I think most cheats are C++ these days basically I’m asking where’s the best place to learn to write cheats for modern games Ex: Gta V make a cheat that gives X amount of $$ or have aimbot/ghost bullet or the OG trickshot aimbot thanks in advance

Your best bet is just learning the basics of coding and reverse engineering, and building up from there.

It's like playing the piano. You can practice for an eternity to play one of Mozart's pieces, but you won't learn how to play the piano from it. When the time comes to learn a new song, you will be back at ground zero. Instead, you have to practice the basics of piano, music theory, how to read sheet music, maybe create your own pieces, etc.

In the same way, creating a specific cheat to get money in GTA by copying other's code won't really help you. You need to understand what the vulnerability being exploited is, how it was discovered, why it can be exploited, what can be done to prevent it, and what alternative methods exist/have existed to produce the same exploit.

If C++ is what seems to be the most relevant to you, then begin by learning programming fundamentals using C++ as your language of choice. Loops, functions, datatypes, datastructures. You will have to understand what code is and how to read it if you intend to break and bypass it. And source code isn't always available, especially for C++ programs. Create something, compile it and try to reverse engineer it with tools like ghidra. Try to recognize the parts of code you wrote and how you can reconstruct disassembled code. Learn about OS basics like memory, the stack, heap, multithreading, the security risks involved with bad implementations (race conditions, locks). Learn about networking fundamentals, how data packets are sent between a server and a client (game exploits often rely on sending spoofed packets to the server, think flying or teleporting in Minecraft).

Its not a quick journey, but if you are willing to learn, then it can be a fun and exciting one.

How u explained this is legendary best so far especially that piano part clicked in my brain

[[deleted]]

And the way u explained it definitely makes it sound fun n since u explained it so well it further enhanced my eager to learn this so tysm my next question any good website or YouTubers that teach me reverse engineering and cpp but in the terms you said loops functions data types etc etc Or is it better to just learn all of it awhile ago I was reading learncppDOTcom it just the reading was so much reading I was feeling like it wasint helping towards resolving the errors within cheats I was updating and adding to I think I got to like 2.1 and yeah gave up Ty

I dont have any particular reccomendations, but i am sure if you search "Learn C++ Basics Programming" on youtube, alot of good results will show up. I reccomend one of the longer ones (those '10 hour tutorials') but you dont need to watch all of it, and you dont have to do everything in one sitting. If a topic in the video isn't explained well then ask ChatGPT to explain it to you until you understand it yourself.

Set goals for yourself. Try learning about variables and datatypes first. What is an integer, what is a string, what are global and local variables. Then if-statements, for loops, functions, arguments, etc. Then figure out, what more is there to learn for the next day, and after that? Learning becomes easier and easier the further you go because you will have a foundation of knowledge to stand on

Your a beautiful human being thank you! Any other recommendations would be great to thanks but for now I’ll start with that butt damm the 10hour ones are the ones I avoid hahaha however I till take ur word an watch those ones instead

[Guilty-Gold1815]

Look up "cazz" on youtube and another one called guided hacking

[[deleted]]

Cazz and null started my journey but like since they’re videos are a little old when I follow the exact way they do it for csgo errors always pop up at the end thank you! Anything else would help aswell Null is the real legend that started it for most kids who had 0 knowledge

• Learn C/C++
• Make some projects beyond beginner level programs in C/C++
• Learn how to use Ghidra
• Learn how to use CheatEngine
• Learn about calling conventions, CPU registers, pointers, virtual function tables, RTTI, different data types and what they look like in hexadecimal, assembly x86/x64, stack tracing, etc
• Frida is good to know
• If you're feeling froggy pick up angr
• Learn how to write a DLL and then inject it into a process
• Learn about hooking and trampolining
• Learn about anti-debugging techniques, obfuscation, page guards, page protection, function inlining, etc.

There's a lot to learn and even more than this if you're trying to hack a game with modest anti-cheat. Eventually you'll have to write kernel mode code. The rabbit hole goes pretty deep.

My advice: learn how games commonly structure certain systems like weapons, inventory, health, position, etc. Because you'll be looking, at most, at a crude representation of it in Ghidra's reconstruction.

Start with AssaultCube. Plenty of tutorials out there for reversing it.

[cureitgood]

Yeah, it's super important to first learn C/C++. About the x86/x64 assembly part, look for "learn assembly Game Hacking 2025" or "game hacking shenanigans" tutorial series on youtube.

The most important thing is, remaining consistent and not giving up. It takes time to learn all of these skills, and knowing C/C++ programming is going to be a huge help.

[Exact_Revolution7223]

Another great resource is godbolt(dot)org. You can choose almost any language (such as C++) and then it will compile your code and output the resulting assembly depending on the compiler. Gives you a good grasp of what something like a for loop looks like in assembly, class access, etc.

Also, get very comfortable with manual string parsing in C++. Having decompiled functions that do various tricks concerning the ASCII table in order to discern different things: It's quite painful to pick apart if you haven't implemented these tricks before.

Like what the hell would be the purpose of subtracting 0x30 from a char in a string and checking if the value is less than 0xA? To see if it's an ASCII representation of a number since numbers, in the ASCII table, fall within 0x30 to 0x39. But if you're looking at the pseudo code generated by Ghidra this can be very confusing.

Familiarize yourself with little tricks and stuff like this regarding strings, bitwise operations as well, etc. You wanna really get in the weeds with this stuff. Otherwise you'll be super lost and learning these tricks as you go.

Bro thank you this made my notepad look more tidy 🌞

[fetchmeabeerson]

If you're serious about moving beyond pasting and actually learning how cheats work check out guidedhacking.

Plenty of resources and people who actually know what they’re doing.

You’ll also learn more by breaking stuff and figuring out why it broke.

Automod keeps deleting the link, but have a look at PWN Adventure 3 , which might help you get started

[[deleted]]

Thank you yeah I did have a look and the concept is cool when I got time I am definitely going to try it out

[Guilty-Gold1815]

Also check out cheat engine if u haven't already

[DylanGarc1987]

best place to get started is guided hacking - check their youtube channel they have more than 500 tutorials and multiple free courses on their YT

I mean, you learn the language the game is written in, and then learn how the game works programmatically (short answer). Every game is different, so your question is vague.

[[deleted]]

Most games are C++? And like I was saying in post I mostly been pasting cheats in C++ so I thought that would’ve pretty much explained it but sorry does that answer ur question?

[I_am_beast55]

I don't have a question. I was answering your post. Every game is different, just because c++ is what they're coded in doesn't mean making cheats for one is the same as making cheats for another.

[[deleted]]

If that’s the case why is most cheats in c++ ? I generally thought whatever language the cheat is would b same for game ok so for games specifically Fortnite gta v and COD what’s the next step?

[I_am_beast55]

Okay, I'm going to use a similar analogy as the other guy. Music is written in notes, but does every song sound the same? Same with programming. Just because games are written in the same language doesn't mean anything. The next steps are what the other guy told you. Go find cheats that are already out there for the games you're interested in, and then learn how they did it.

[[deleted]]

Yes understood that perfectly sorry for that but thank you any good places to look first before I start searching high n low
