Making Hacks In Visual Basics?

**Iscariot** · 12-25-2004 11:03 PM

Okay, in trying to keep with my New Years resolution, Im trying to learn how to create Hacks in VB, I was wondering if anyone had any resources and/or tutorials on this subject? (Any level would be fine)

Oh yeah, lets not turn this into an: I H8 VB!!11 M$ FAG thread

Making hacks in VB is similiar to any other language... just look up info on the Windows API's WriteProcessMemory(), ReadProcessMemory(), FindWindow(), and a few others.

uttered like a champ

i would tend to concur with titan on this one, learn your API's

In VB, as in any language, they are your "slow" friend...but they work

Well if he's going to use API's (as opposed to ASM), then he might as well go with VC++, but yeah, as with any non-ASM language, API's are going to be essential. There are a few public maphack scripts on the web that you could take a look, Iscariot, if you're interested.

Assembly uses API's just as much as any other language. ;)

BOOL WriteProcessMemory(

HANDLE hProcess, // handle to process whose memory is written to
LPVOID lpBaseAddress, // address to start writing to
LPVOID lpBuffer, // pointer to buffer to write data to
DWORD nSize, // number of bytes to write
LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten // actual number of bytes written
);

Equals this in assembly:

invoke WriteProcessMemory,hProcess,lpBaseAddress,lpBuffer ,nSize,lpNumberofBytesWritten

Windows API's are extremely easy in ASM.. basically the same thing as C++.

ahahah you did it in QUOTES HHAHAA

Not funny i guess...

Psh! VB Can make use of ASM, via the same way you'd hack SC, basically... (VirtualProtect, AddressOf, RtlMoveMemory).

how does what you have to say have anything to do with what i said?

I said that API's are slow, and you san VB can "make use of ASM"...??

Obviously he is talking about VB inline assembly.

TheTempest knows what he's talking about, he just doesn't know how it relates to what he just said.

**TheTempest** · 12-31-2004 01:10 AM

yes, even still, i said API's are slow, not inline ASM...

**Titan** · 12-31-2004 01:22 AM

You can do inline ASM in VB?

i dunno, you tell me...i dont use VB

**Titan** · 12-31-2004 03:11 AM

Me either. :D

Note to TheTempest: I saw you writing a private message to me, then a minute later you were viewing a thread. ;) I await your feedback.

Using ASM in VB requires a bit of memory hacking. APIs however are typically already heavily optimized with inline ASM. I just think it's funny that you guys hack new code into another process with VB, but didn't think about hacking VB (your own prog) itself.

**Mad3711** · 12-31-2004 03:58 AM

I may be wrong, but didn't one of the mods write a tutorial on visual basics hacking?

**nickolay** · 12-31-2004 03:59 AM

Very fascinating. Would you be so kind as to provide information on what exactly must one do to use inline assembly with Visual Basic? Also, would you mind providing some examples of Win32 API functions that have been "heavily" optimized with inline assembly?
