Transcripts
because I run this channel I receive a
lot of questions about game hacking the
most common question is how do I make a
cheat for x game unsurprisingly the game
is usually fortnite the people who ask
these questions are very difficult to
help because one they have no concept of
how cheat development works and two they
are not prepared to spend time learning
game hacking is not about Talent
Wizardry or being a genius it's about
how many times you're willing to fail
during the learning process nothing
worth doing is easy and hacking games
requires a ridiculous amount of skill
and experience in many areas of computer
science game hackers at the very minimum
are low-level programmers who possess an
intimate knowledge of the computer the
first step for any beginner is to learn
a programming language most people will
tell you to learn C plus and I agree but
you don't have to learn it first you can
use pretty much any language to hack
games it just so happens that c plus is
usually the best tool for the job
because it's fast compiled unrestricted
and it's the industry standard for video
games I started with C plus plus and it
was very difficult for me I gave up
after a few months and I didn't touch
programming for another year one day I
decided to Learn Python because I wanted
to make a Discord bot this changed my
perspective on programming because
python is a lot more rewarding in the
beginning as it's a much simpler
language I then went back to C plus with
a new attitude and the rest was history
learncpp.com is unironically a good
resource to learn the language there are
plenty of well-written chapters that are
constantly being updated by the authors
the website follows a linear progression
you start by setting up your environment
and end with a detailed knowledge of the
language personally I don't like reading
that much so I'm going to recommend the
Cherno and the New Boston over here on
YouTube together they have hundreds of
high quality C plus tutorials so pick
your poison I'll leave the links down
below the important thing about this is
that you need to be doing the exercises
and writing in code for yourself while
you study or else you are never going to
learn you don't need to become a c plus
God you just need to know enough C plus
to use the windows API which should take
you a couple days at the very least once
you know enough to code a command line
calculator it's time for you to start
hacking to start off I'm going to
recommend game hacking Academy it wasn't
around when I was learning but I wish it
was it's completely free and full to the
brim with well-written tutorials that
take you from a conceptual understanding
of hacking to actually making cheats
next I'm going to mention guided hacking
because I believe it's one of the best
places a beginner could start they have
a well-written game hacking Bible which
basically holds your hand and teaches
you all the basics but that's the thing
about guided hacking the platform is
tailored towards beginners as you keep
learning and improving guided hacking
becomes less valuable at least that was
my experience what became more valuable
to me though was good old Unknown cheats
in the beginning I couldn't understand
the posts on Unknown cheats but once I
got the ball rolling and started gaining
momentum things started to make sense
they've been around since the Earth was
made and there is so much information on
that Forum it's silly the final resource
I want to mention is GitHub there are
thousands of open source cheats on the
internet that you could be studying but
you aren't you do require a certain
level of experience to be able to
interpret code but once you reach that
point the sky becomes the limit I think
the best way to begin is by making
external Trainers for games without
anti-cheats this is because you can read
and write process memory from the
windows API without anything getting in
the way it's also extremely rewarding
because this is actual game hacking
while you're making those you need to
start getting familiar with reverse
engineering tools things like Cheat
Engine re-class and Ida Pro half of game
hacking is reverse engineering and you
cannot ignore that skill in the
beginning because you will fall behind
you need to manage your motivation very
carefully because you are probably not
going to be hacking fortnite anytime
soon your goals must be realistic if you
have no programming experience and you
intend on hacking a kernel anti-cheat
protected game you are going to be
disappointed you still have years of
learning ahead of you personally I never
went to school for this stuff nor have I
ever purchased a book or a course so I
can't help you there if you have any of
those suggestions feel free to leave
them in the comments below for other
people the best time to start learning
was about 10 years ago but the second
best time is right now so good luck hope
you enjoyed the video and I'll catch you
later cheers
