Static vs Dynamic Addresses

Code Example

// Memory read example
HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, pid);
DWORD value = 0;
ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPCVOID)0x12345678, &value, sizeof(value), NULL);
// Cheat Engine: First Scan / Next Scan

Commands & References

• Pointer scan / Pointer map
• VirtualAllocEx / WriteProcessMemory
• x64dbg: bp, step, run

Lab Steps

1. Set up your environment: Pointer scan / Pointer map
2. Locate the target process or game and attach your tool.
3. Apply the technique and verify the result.
4. Document your findings and any variations.
5. Consider detection risks and mitigation.

Exercises

• Try the same technique on a different value type or game.
• Explore what happens when the game updates.
• Consider how anti-cheat might detect this.
• Design a minimal, undetectable implementation.
