I'm kinda new at this and i have 1 stupid question that someone's probably answered but i haven't found cos I probably havent been checking in the right spots...

anyway... how do you modify the memory via "memory view"?

There are several ways, if you are a genius and know bytes, you can go to an adress and change the bytes on the bottom by making it writable.
Or you can press control+a in memory view... then select code injection.

Or you can pass step 6 in tutorial

You can also select the instruction in the CPU (instruction) window and right-click and select assemble to write your new instruction. I think you can also just press spacebar and you can assemble too (not 100% sure).

Press 'R' to assemble. Spacebar will 'follow' and instruction.
But slugsnack is right, once you're in that view you can just start to assemble the code in that very pane. Auto-assemble feature is found in the menu at the top along with the majority of features that CE has to offer.

thats for only one instruction though

Yeah and? Dude don't start been a prat...

It's not smart to try to overwrite a load of instructions unless you know exactly how many bytes each instruction is going to be taking up anyway. And if you want to do codecaving/injection, CE has a builtin function for that anyway.

So why are you disputing it ffs?
Thats what auto-assembler is for.
No-one said we would go and do single fucking lines one at a time, it was just an explanation of what you can do in that view.

Hello... this person is new... we don't need to give him useless shit like doing single instructions.... or else you will confuse him. That's what I was saying Rolling Eyes

Slugsnack said spacebar because he is used to olly. Thats what you use to alter an instruction.

There is nothing wrong with altering a single instruction. We do single instructions in cracking things.
You have more to learn before you go off like this towards people like Slugnack and [Psych]. You have not seen their work, I have.
And i have seen your work..
When you do AA script , it just looks like your doing more then a single intruction to you. But you alter a single instruction in the ones i seen you had up and i helped you on. You just barely started doing AA your self so i dont think you understand fully yet.

Talking about if you are a genius and know the bytes and all that crap.
Do you even realize the bytes are the interpretation of the assembly?
I know I told you this at least 3 or 4 times trying to show you how to use them in TMK and not to mention a code cave as well.
I think you need to slow your roll and not make an ass of yourself.

I did not say I was a genius with bytes lab... I said if you ARE a genius and know bytes... you could alter the bottom... I was being sarcastic.
... but they were telling him not needed stuff like single instructions, which come up in the injection screen anyways... he needs to learn about code caves like everyone else when they start... you cant just do that by pressing r or space and changing a single instruction... it can be confusing which is what I was pointing out..

My point,
You dont have to know the bytes to alter them in a lower memory window.....

Again they interpret the instruction from the "same" address as the top memory view as the bottom. Take a closer look and you will see the bytes in front of the instruction in the top view. And go to the address in lower view and you see the bytes.

You dont need a code cave to alter them if they are less or equal to the number of bytes in the instruction. Doing an injection may not be worth the hassle or needed even.
It helps to learn a little more about assembly, trust me.

You a can simply do the following to alter a single instruction just as easy, while making sure you clean up left over bytes if there are some.
[ENABLE]
address:
db bytes

[DISABLE]
address:
db bytes

Learning to code inject by altering single instruction very good for a novice. Then once they got it down, they can do caves and write code to it.
