Video game hacking

Post by jiminphilly »

Anyone here ever try coding a hack for a video game?


I play americas army almost every night and the anti cheat company they use, punkbuster, seems to have caught a lot of public hacks that were ruining the game. However, every once in a while some guy goes on a rampage with a gun that amazingly has no recoil.. I won't try a hack since punk buster hands out hardware bans thus making it difficult to get back into the game.

I'm impressed at the level that some guys can write codes and hide them from anti cheat programs.

Just wondering.

If you restore from a day previous to the day you deleted the stuff, it should come back, right? I'm not a computer guy but you seemed desperate. Any port in a storm, right?

I wasn't caught, dumbass. I woudln't know the first thing about coding. Was just looking for insight on those that do.

I understand this. Follow these instructions and you'll be gold, philwithajimmy.

Just restore from a day previous to the day you deleted the stuff. I mean, it should come back, right? Seriously, I'm not a tech geek but you seemed desperate. Any port in a storm, right?

Now, rack me bitch.

hacks much like virus code can probably be slightly altered in order to slip by detection.

Yeah, The way that virus detection works is that it looks for some very specific things in the code, such as comments that are left in the code or a piece of the code that is very unique to the virus. They may also look for things like file names and changes in the registry. So if you figure out what the 2 or 3 lines of code the checker is looking for, you just change it a little, move it or re write it to work slightly differently and viola, the checker is useless.
