Game Hacking: Developing Autonomous Bots for Online Games

You donâ€™t need to be a wizard to transform a game you like into a game you love. Imagine if you could give your favorite PC game a more informative heads-up display or instantly collect all that loot from your latest epic battle.

Bring your knowledge of Windows-based development and memory management, and Game Hacking will teach you what you need to become a true game hacker. Learn the basics, like reverse engineering, assembly code analysis, programmatic memory manipulation, and code injection, and hone your new skills with hands-on example code and practice binaries.

Level up as you learn how to:
â€“Scan and modify memory with Cheat Engine
â€“Explore program structure and execution flow with OllyDbg
â€“Log processes and pinpoint useful data files with Process Monitor
â€“Manipulate control flow through NOPing, hooking, and more
â€“Locate and dissect common game memory structures

Youâ€™ll even discover the secrets behind common game bots, including:
â€“Extrasensory perception hacks, such as wallhacks and heads-up displays
â€“Responsive hacks, such as autohealers and combo bots
â€“Bots with artificial intelligence, such as cave walkers and automatic looters

Game hacking might seem like black magic, but it doesnâ€™t have to be. Once you understand how bots are made, youâ€™ll be better positioned to defend against them in your own games. Journey through the inner workings of PC games with Game Hacking, and leave with a deeper understanding of both game design and computer security.
