Help/Support How could I get the PID of a game?

valdorz · August 22, 2021

Hi, so I was trying to follow a tutorial on using IDA, specifically this one:

But I stumbled when trying to get the PID of a game, as the post makes reference to Gameplayer as a way of getting the process ID, but within the post of this tool, it is recommended to use iGameGod as it is no longer being maintained. However, when using iGameGod I've not been able to get the PID as when attaching it to an application it only shows the name of the same. So I thought of getting a process list through PuTTY (in my case), but then I realized that I was not able to recognize the process of the game, so I was hoping to find some help on getting the PID of an application, currently using IpadOS 14.4 with a jailbroken Ipad 6th generation.

I know about the PuTTY command, but in the post I said I didn't know how to identify the correct PID of the application when displaying the list. However, thanks for answering so quickly.

I know, it's just that it's one of the first tutorials for begginers to use IDA mentioned in the starter pack, so I thought of following it but I had this issue.

I’ll try and update the topic in some places. Most things are still relevant, just some tools used are outdated on the phone.
