I've found the values I want in a game and I want to start putting them into a table or script. The problem is it uses Unity. To find the values I had to open the Mono dissector, find the class I wanted, click "Find instances of class", and click through the predictions until I found the correct one.


How do I even begin getting the class's address? The only tutorial I saw was this video, but it only shows how to modify a class' methods. There has a consistent, reproducible, and automated way that's better than me clicking around menus while changing values in the game. Do I do a pointer scan until I find a static pointer I can always work from like before, or does that not work due to the dynamic nature of C# programs? I assume once I have the address I can also use

Hacking mono games is more or less the same as hacking normal games.
You start with looking for values, you see where they belong and there they lead you.
With mono however, you have the benefit of knowing what exactly you are looking at: vValues, classes, their methods and variables.
And that makes it very easy to hack mono games, great for beginners.

That, plus keep in mind mono code is compiled in runtime.
That means the compiled code may a) be anywhere in the memory (so fixed offsets won't work) and b) the code compiled for your CPU may be different than somebody elses.
I would worry about a) only, because that can lead to crashes in case you get JMP14 instructions instead of JMP5s.

Lastly, once you hacked a game and you know exactly what you are looking for, you can use mono dissect and go directly to the class/method/variable you need.

Would it be a good idea (or even possible) to inject code into a class' constructor that gets the base address? If I can, I feel like it would be better to have a way to directly modify certain variables (i.e. position and score) instead of making a script that modifies a function for each one. Or would that be stupid?
