Transcripts
how's it going ladies and gentlemen my
name is Cass and this channel is
censored around hacking PC games but
just about every second comment I get is
a request for me to hack the next big
mobile game I hate to break it to you
guys but hacking PC versus hacking
mobile games is a completely different
discipline with that being said hacking
is still hacking at the end of the day
and many of the concepts remain the same
I've never personally written a cheat
for a mobile game but what I have done
is jailbroken many of my iOS devices
over the past 6 or seven years and I've
even coded a tweak here in there in this
video I want to present you a guide on
how to get started with mobile game
hacking using my limited but significant
experience combined with a lot of
research I hope to at least give you a
decent understanding of the mobile
hacking scene so be sure to stick around
if you're trying to hack games or
anything for that matter you're going to
run into a ton of problems that require
creative out thebox thinking problem
solving is a skill that you have to
develop and exercise just like any other
and that's exactly why this video is
sponsored by brilliant.org brilliant is
an online platform where you learn by
doing with thousands of interactive
lessons in math data analysis
programming and even AI brilliant is
designed to build your critical thinking
skills through problem solving exercise
not through memorizing which we all hate
this means that while you're building
real knowledge on a specific topic
you'll also be improving your thinking
skills across the board if you don't
believe me I highly recommend that you
check out their creative coding course
the purpose of these lessons is to
develop your mind into that of a
programmers forcing you to build a
strong foundation in writing robust and
efficient programs so what are you
waiting for to try everything brilliant

subscription thanks for listening and
let's get back to the video before we
can talk about all the fun stuff we have
to take a trip back to discuss the
basics mobile devices might seem foreign
to PC people but in reality they're just
less powerful and more restricted
computers they still have CPUs gpus RAM
and so on but the major difference is
the operating systems that run on these
devices the market share is split
largely between IOS and Android iOS is a
proprietary operating system based on
Unix developed by Apple in the early
2000s Android on the other hand is an
open- Source operating system based on
the Linux kernel and other software
which is usually forked and sold as a
proprietary one as well together these
two dominate the mobile landscape and
therefore they will be the focus of this
video mobile operating systems serve
quite a different purpose to desktop
ones because they solve different
problems these devices need to be easily
and seamlessly accessible through touch
while being extremely efficient in order
to preserve battery life they also need
to be simpler for the average person to
use all the complexity of the computer
needs to be tucked away and hidden from
the end user this results in the
experience of using mobile devices
generally being a lot more restrictive
than desktop ones people want to
purchase a mobile device that just works
it should switch on and do everything
they needed to do without forcing them
to jump through a bunch of Hoops like
the typical Arch user on Windows you can
download a random program and run it on
your computer this is great because
anyone can write code and make
applications but this is also why old
people constantly get viruses mobile
operating systems like to produce a wall
Garden of sorts a Sandbox where users
live their naive little life but in
order to hack games on these devices the
user needs to escape this world garden
and that is done with a jailbreak
jailbreaking is the iOS way of escaping
the Apple World Garden the closest
equivalent on Android is known as a root
but rooting and jailbreaking are not
exactly the same Android by default is
already a lot less restricted than iOS
and therefore all you need is root
access to the Linux kernel in other
words you need to become a super user on
the device iOS on the other hand is
completely locked down and therefore
jailbreaks do a lot more than just
provide root access jailbreaks basically
create a platform with libraries and
package managers to allow people to
create their own applications and even
modify existing ones on the device if
you want to hack games on iOS you pretty
much need a jailbreak it is possible
without one but it's a lot more
restricted in terms of what you can do
if you have an Android device you're
going to need a rout as well on Android
it's pretty easy though because there
are already numerous programs available
that will root your device with a single
click make sure to do your research
though because these can harm your
device and will void your warranty when
it comes to iOS the process is a bit
more complicated you need to side load a
utility that can jailbreak your device
for you side loading is the process of
installing a third-party IPA file on
your iOS device IPA is just the format
that Apple uses to ship their
applications equivalent to an Android
APK I recommend checking out the r/
jailbreak subreddit this place will show
you the best current and safest
jailbreaks available right now along
with great tutorials and information on
how to get started there's a common set
of tools and requirements for hacking
games on both platforms so let's discuss
them here starting with iOS if you're
going to be developing anything with
your jailbreak namely hacks apps or even
tweaks you're going to have to learn a
horrible language called Objective C
although modern iOS apps are coded in
Swift jailbreaking is not modern and
jailbreaking is also not very open to
change most of your learning resources
will be an Objective C anyway so just
bite the bullet and learn it to build
iOS applications you need certain sdks
and libraries not to mention your
computer needs to know how to build a
format that is supported by the phone on
Windows you should use a system called
Theos and on Mac you should use xcode
links are down below finally you need a
way to access your mobile devices file
system on your computer this can be done
through the SSH protocol using an
application like putty or open SSH this
will allow you to transfer files and run
commands on your phone from your PC on
the Android side of things it's quite a
bit simpler coding apps on this platform
is just a matter of installing Android
Studio on your PC and then you can begin
making apps with a number of languages
including C++ cotlin and even Java these
are all requirements for making
applications and getting your code
running on the device but what about all
the important hacker stuff well
regardless of the platform you you'll
always need a disassembler for static
analysis the classic program for this is
of course idao it can disassemble both
IOS and Android app packages but that
program is very expensive if you cannot
find yourself a copy for well
educational purposes the next best thing
is gidra which is a free and open-
Source alternative to Ido on your device
itself there are many hacking utility
programs that you might want to consider
using before making your own on Android
apps like game Guardian exist which are
basically mobile versions of cheat
engine you can search through the game's
memory for values and modify them as you
like to give yourself a bunch of coins
or whatever the same style of apps are
also available on your jailbroken iOS
device through Cydia an iOS version of
game Guardian called I game Guardian is
available along with something even more
powerful called Flex which will
literally let you debug operating system
UI elements write custom scripts and
much much more just like hacking regular
games on the PC there are a number of
different ways to make a cheat for a
mobile game it all depends on the game
and how complex you want the cheat to be
the easiest method to understand is
probably the one I mentioned earlier by
using some sort of hacking utility on
the device you should be able to search
through memory to find important
variables then with said utility you can
simply modify the values to increase
your score money speed and so on another
easy method to understand is that of
classic save game editing if your
progress in a game persists through
launches without an internet connection
that information is being saved
somewhere in the file system once you
have a rout or a jailbreak you'll be
able to to access the file system and
find where the game is saving the
important data you should then be able
to edit that config file which could be
in a number of different formats in
order to give yourself unlimited gold or
whatever you want to do more advanced
cheats might involve reading and or
modifying the game's packets during web
requests this could help you create a
bot for a game like Clash of Clans where
you read incoming data make some
decisions and then do things in the game
by sending specific requests to the
server finally we get to the most
popular way of hacking mobile games by
creating a separate mod version of the
app itself this way is very popular
because there is no need for a rout or
jailbreak users can simply sideload the
hacked version of the app onto their
device and they are sorted this type of
cheat is created by copying a version of
the application onto a computer patching
the app by editing its assembly code or
in the case of some apps it's bite code
before signing the modded app and
sending it back to the device hacking
mobile games is very similar to hacking
PC games but with meaningful differences
by default on these mobile devices you
don't have the same amount of freedom
but once youve remove those restrictions
the device becomes your playground I'd
like to mention an excellent website
called iOS Gods this is like the Unknown
cheats but for mobile game hacking and
modding they even have a whole free
cheat section which includes jailed and
jailbroken cheats I've been using them
for many many years and can personally
vouch for them let me know if you guys
would be interested in some jailbreaking
and tweak tutorials in the future
because it's a very interesting topic to
me anyway ladies and gentlemen thanks
for watching the video and I really hope
you enjoyed it if if you'd like to see
more content like this I'd really
appreciate it if you like the video and
subscribed as always shout out to my
sexy patrons and until next time Gamers
cheers and peace out
