Section 1

WHAT THIS TUTORIAL WILL COVER:

- General theory behind 'hacking' games

- Usage of (C/C++) WriteProcessMemory function

- Injection of code (patch jumping to a user-defined *.dll)

PREFACE (skip if you want):

This tutorial is aimed in a very general direction, towards helping people who have never really 'hacked'

anything before, but want to try. Somebody who may, or may not have knowledge in the 'field' area, of hacking.

If you've never hacked before, but used them, and used memory searchers before, this is for you to read!

If you've created a few hacks before, but never tried to inject a *.dll before, or created a patch jump...

This tutorial might be for you, but then again, you may already know, but never really have done it.

REQUIREMENTS:

- Knowledge of C or C++ (if you've only coded in C, know that "naked" is a C++ only keyword)

- A compiler that is capable of inline, Intel syntax Assembly (MSVC is, but is not share/freeware)

RECOMMENDATIONS:

- Knowledge of basic Assembly (extremely helpful)

- Knowledge of how to use a memory searcher (TSearch, ArtMoney, or another)

- Knowledge of how to use a debugger (OllyDbg, SoftIce)

- Knowledge of how computers function, in general (memory addresses, virtual memory addresses, etc)
