Help/Support Where to start when trying to learn hex/ida hacking.

kekekeke · November 13, 2015

Hey there, Im very interested in learning how to make cheats for games. I am on ios 9.0.2 on an Ipad 4 which is jailbroken and have no idea where to start. I have read all the pinned threads under the Tutorial section and to my understanding you have to crack an app and use IDA to find the values to change, then use a hex editor to change the values? Correct me if im wrong, but thats my understanding. Now the thing I have a question about is how do you crack an app and what do you do with the edited binary? I also have no idea what the purpose of Theos is? IF someone could help me with the questions or point me to a thread to better my understanding it would be very much appreciated! I also have a IPhone on ios 8.1.2 if that would be better at all?

I used Rasticrac to crack an app and thin the binary using MobileTerminal, idk if this helps.

Thin the binary? But thanks for the cracking part, didn't really know what to use.

yeah I needed a thinned binary for a hack made by shmoo, and you can get Rasticrac from Cydia

What do I do with with the edited binary?

If you want to go advanced, you need to crack the binary so you can hack it with IDA/GDB

but for Save/Flex hacks u dont need shiz

just memory editor and upload the hacked save

What do I do with with the edited binary?

you paste it in the apps folder and change the original files name then change the thinned binary to the other files name and then change the old file to a different name

for example:

agario <- Original

agario2 <- Thinned

change them to:

agario2 <- Original

agario <-Thinned

Hope it clarifies some

I'd like to learn the advance way and your guys help is very much appreciated! Still a little confused with the binary though. I get that I have to replace it in the app, so would I just do that through Ifile?

yes, iFile is the one I used

you can also use Filza, whichever one you like best, it's up to you
