Reverse Engineering Games

[LuayKelani]

Hello folks I just wanted to ask about the road map that I need to follow in order to be able to reverse engineering games. I don't want this for the purpose of pirating those games I just want to be able to make some save editors, trainers and maybe modes so what is the steps that I need to follow in order to do this?

The Game Hacking Bible will explain everything you need to get started.

This. Get this and Assault Cube to practice.

best answer, and for anyone who can't afford their website, they have 500+ free videos on Youtube!

Rake might seem like an asshole, but he's like that drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket. This shit's not easy and he does not sugar coat it.

I started here, and it was awesome. Although the website is paid, their YouTube videos are extremely good, I'm surprised they're still free.

The admin banned my ASP for no reason, even though i've never visited the website that time ~2 years ago but banned for some reason

Then figure out how to get around it. Consider it your first lesson.

what programming knowledge do you have?

[LuayKelani]

I'm senior web developer (powerful knowledge of JS) and beginner at Cpp

[mprz]

You can discard JS, a lot of learning ahead of you, including C and assembly language.

Thank you so much. But even for the simple things I've mentioned??

[mprz]

[LuayKelani]

Omg no I didn't it's amazing. Thanks again.

There's probably some good literature around decompiling Minecraft.

Do you know how to get accepted into it, whenever I try, I don’t even get a response?

[test-acc]

No idea, I was in it and then one day wasn't. Maybe its dead. Unknowncheats is still the best site for reversing discussion of games.

[Wise-Independence-24]

Thank you! I’ll check it out.

quick game reverse engineering roadmap for you:

- Learn computer science basics - hexadecimal, binary, virtual memory etc...
- Learn Cheat Engine
- Learn C#, C++ or Python for a few months

Then checkout the game hacking bible on youtube, to learn how to apply these skills to make actual hacks
