The last year and a half I have been diving into game hacking. At my university I could choose to do a passion project as a course as long as I could get atleast one professor to be on board. The game hacking topic takes a lot of research and is very hard however so does university. Why not then just hack videogames on university time? So I did. I asked one of our infosec professors if I could do game hacking. I got the fealing that he didn't really understand what I was doing, but he was on board. At the end of the semester and I showed off my pdf, code and presentaiton I got the impression that they were impressed and passed the class.
I decided that after having this course graded I would publish all the source code and texts related to this project and I hope you the end user will enjoy this project as much as I did making it.
The main file of this project is the main.pdf. This paper contains prequisite knowledge I mostly wrote so that my proffessors could follow. However this is still a good read. Then it contains two game hacking examples. One being offline (skyrim) and the other being online (ffxiv). In these two examples I have explained a bit of what went in to developing and some of the challenges I stumbled upon.
Here are also some video examples I used as part of the presentation to demonstrate What I made.
