Help/Support HEX editing, dissassembled binary HEX values and binary HEX values different...wt#

[Anonymonk 1.9k iPad Air 2 8-9-11]

i guess i could have choose something easier for my first start ^^, but thats that one i want to hack...

so i have a problem, when i dissassemble the binary as arm7 in ida (arm proc), he show a different hex view... as just to open the binary as raw...

i tried to open the binary with several Hex editors, they never match with the hex values from ida

i was thinking to edit the binary inside my iphone with a hexeditor and test it straight away...

IDA and Hex are at different address

Left is Hex address  and right is IDA address

1 - did you disable aslr? if never disable aslr, watchpoint offset from lldb is not correct.

2 - if you done disable aslr, when you find hex from hex editor , it must be -4000 from the IDA offset.

i disabled the alsr, and i guess its proper as the lldb display show the same instruction than Ida

i see... thank you both for your help, i will give a try right now

[Anonymonk 1.9k iPad Air 2 8-9-11]

yep.. thats it.. i can now try...

but it seems really hard  to begin to learn instruction in that assassin creed unity

i made a try and everyone became immortal, and all attribute to max.... big mess

seems like i will have to spend time to learn all that...

if someone feel to tell me what to edit ... i welcome everyone, hihihi
