Help/Support MsHooking Help

UncoiledLobster · August 12, 2016

Hey UncoildedLobster, I've actually took a lot of time and decided to fire up THEOS on my current iOS (8.3), and it happens to WORK! Now, I have done some testing....

In the past (around 3 years ago), I was able to hook some custom functions into an onine-only game called Galaxy Empire. Here's the video that I made for it from 3 years ago; I had dubbed it a "bug", but it was me who actually used MS hooking on it:

Normally, making that much metal so fast is impossible. I did this visual hack just for fun at the time.

Now, as far as I know, method hooking and MS hacking seem like the same thing to me.......I used THEOS and wrote my own hooks to the functions/methods, and then generated the .dylib and put it in the MobileSubstrate folder; there you have it.

***I hacked this on my iPad 2 [iOS 5.1.1] (ARM v7) 3 years ago with the above video results***

Anyways, over the years, many things have changed, and the old ARM architectures have been modified quite a bit, so when I tried to hack the updated Galaxy Empire yesterday on my iPad Air 2 [iOS 8.3] with THEOS, first off, when I dumped the headers (with both class-dump and class-dump-z, mind you), some of the crucial headers from 3 years ago have just.........disappeared (not found/dumped), so I couldn't replicate what I did 3 years ago with Galaxy Empire. All the headers are full of FB, Flurry, UMAN, MAT, and other ad-tracking content.....there USED to be headers with blatant hackable functions:

HERE'S one of those headers from 3 years ago dumped via iOS 5.1.1:

^: So, as you can see, pretty much this entire header is hookable. Unfortunately, these headers no longer exist in the current version of the game, so I have nothing to show for a current hook for this game.

well u see here, that all seems to make sense and all, but I'm not that far yet lmao. I have absolutely noo idea what any of that means
