hello and welcome to CS NUMBER_TOKEN in this course we'll be learning about everything to do with game hacking developing god mode flying hex editing save files seeing through walls and all of that fun goodness this of course is going to go in-depth on both theory and practice so not only are we going to be relearning how zeros and NUMBER_TOKEN somehow make up a fully functioning game will also be writing hacks together starting on day NUMBER_TOKEN at the end of this course I'll cover some advanced topics on the bleeding edge of game hacking things like anti cheat systems and to the inner workings of the tools we're gonna use and I'll talk about open problems in game hacking one day when you become a seasoned hacker you may be one of the people to solve these problems so let's jump into the prerequisites there are none experienced hackers will give you really really bad advice the tell you need to learn C C++ C sharp maybe a bit of Python and to go read a bunch of books none of these things are necessary I didn't know any programming when I started I just picked it up as I went along and that's completely fine the number one predictor for success and learn game hacking is just determination the biggest myth about hacking is that you need to be some sort of super genius you'll learn this stuff is not as complicated as people make it out to be experienced hackers perpetuate this myth to make themselves look smart they want to impress you so they make it sound complex well my goal for these videos is to impress you with simplicity shameless plug some optional learning material if you've ever taken a college course professors try to sell you their books well instead of trying to sell you a book I've got a video game squally is a game that I'm currently developing that teaches many of the subjects in these lectures nobody is forcing you to buy it however I do believe it's a very useful resource I quit my job turned out multiple interviews at Google so they could work on this game full-time if you're watching this in NUMBER_TOKEN the game is still in early access and the content is somewhat limited but if you're watching this in the future then congratulations the game is probably done and you should check it out there's a link to this game of the description and I'll cover it a bit more later many of the examples in these lectures will come from this game because I own the rights to it so there's no risk of YouTube taking down my content now I'm going to go over all of the skills that we're going to learn if I say something and it doesn't make sense to you don't worry there will be specific lectures on each of these topics and I'll be able to go more in depth in those videos memory editing is the most important skill in game hacking it's used for almost everything you can imagine god mode money teleportation this is where most of our attention will be focused the next skill is assembly editing this is a more advanced version of memory editing and this is where the really polished hacks get made it's a lot harder to pull off because involves programming you need to learn how to read and write assembly language but the payoff is far greater than just memory editing the difference is subtle but important so let's take an example but so you have a hundred maximum health in a video game with memory editing if you want god mode you basically have to keep filling your health to a hundred if it goes
START_SELFPROMO_TOKEN shameless plug some optional learning material if you've ever taken a college course professors try to sell you their books well instead of trying to sell you a book I've got a video game squally is a game that I'm currently developing that teaches many of the subjects in these lectures nobody is forcing you to buy it however I do believe it's a very useful resource I quit my job turned out multiple interviews at Google so they could work on this game full-time if you're watching this in NUMBER_TOKEN the game is still in early access and the content is somewhat limited but if you're watching this in the future then congratulations the game is probably done and you should check it out there's a link to this game of the description and I'll cover it a bit more later many of the examples in these lectures will come from this game because I own the rights to it so there's no risk of YouTube taking down my content END_SELFPROMO_TOKEN
