Multi-Level Pointer Chains

Code Example

// DLL injection via CreateRemoteThread
LPVOID mem = VirtualAllocEx(hProcess, NULL, pathLen, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, mem, dllPath, pathLen, NULL);
CreateRemoteThread(hProcess, NULL, 0, LoadLibraryA, mem, 0, NULL);

Commands & References

• CreateRemoteThread
• Find pattern / signature scan
• Proxy server for game traffic

Lab Steps

1. Set up your environment: CreateRemoteThread
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.
