Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:10 pm Post subject: Need some help with a certain game with ebx
Basically, the aim of the game is to fill in as much area of the level as possible. The game gives you the amount of level filled as a percentage. Changing this value to end the level does not work as it only displays the value here and isn't stored here. So I ran a debug on the game via "find out what writes to this address."
I was given a single command;
00434997 - 89 1D C87E4500 - mov [00457EC8],ebx
So basically, the percentage was copied from somewhere else. What is ebx? What can I go about doing to hack this game?
If required: The game is called Water Bugs.
It's a demo. I downloaded simply because it's a very simple game and should be easy to hack.
EDIT: also, if I set the search to 4bytes does that mean I'll miss all 2 byte and lower addresses? Am I searching the capacity of the address?

If you click "more info" it will show you
Im pretty sure it holds the value in hex of the number you just added to the % and moves it to this address [00457EC8].

Don't underestimate a small game. Just because it is simple doesn't mean it is easy to hack.
It does use some anti debugger tricks.
Just to explain the instruction to you:
00434997 - 89 1D C87E4500 - mov [00457EC8],ebx
mov = moves ebx
ebx = how much of the level you just filled
[00457EC8] = the address the ebx is moved to
In my case EBX was 3F
3F converted from Hexadecimal to Decimal = 63 so it was 63% filled after my move.
