Hi,
I was using a tutorial to find pointers.
anyways, it says that if you have something like this that writes to a memory address, than you find the eax value, then search for that and you have found your pointer:
Code:

mov [eax], edx

But my question is, what if you have something like this?:
Code:

mov [eax+edx*4], ecx

I tried adding the registers and multiplying them by 4 then searching for the value, but i don't get any addresses. Anyone have any ideas?
By the way, the game i'm trying to hack is World of Warcraft.

base would be eax and the offset the result of edx*4
so if edx = 0, the offset would be 4
if edx = 1, the offset would be 8
if edx = 2, the offset would be c
if edx = 3, the offset would be 10
but the base would be the same

(hex counting)

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
So, I should search for the base, and then what? Add edx to the result and multiply it by 4 which should lead to the pointer?

--Edit--
Oh, I figured it out.
