[Tutorial] How to Hack Using GNU-Debugger (GDB)


26 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

✻ Requirements

✔ Command-line Tool (Putty for Windows; Terminal for Mac)

✔ Memory Access Tool (iGameGuardian, Gameplayer, Gamegem)

✔ OpenSSH (available on BigBoss)

✔ GNU-Debugger (available on cydia.radare.org)

 

✻ Procedure

Firstly, use your memory access tool to find the address of your target (herein “coins”). If the tool you are using cannot find the address, this guide is not for you. There is another method to GDB hacking called breakpointing for this case, but I don’t know how to do it. If I learn it I will be sure to share it.

 

Once you have your address, load up your command-line tool and SSH to your device. To start GDB, follow the commands:

 

 

gdb
/* Loads up GDB */

att pid
/* This means attach process ID. If you don’t know it, the app binary usually works too.
This command will freeze the app so values do not change */

watch *0xADDRESS
/* Sets a watchpoint to your address, where “ADDRESS” is what you found with Gameplayer */

continue
/* Unfreezes the app */
Now it’s your job to change the value of coins, just like you would if hacking with Gameplayer. Once the value changes, the app should freeze because you set a watchpoint on coins. GDB will give you some tasty information now - in your command prompt, you should see the old value and new value of coins. You’ll also be given the “real” address of coins, which can be plugged into IDA (remember, addresses in your memory access tool are temporary and change every launch. The address GDB gives you is consistent until the app is updated).

 

✻ Other Useful Commands

ps ax
/* Loads all processes and their IDs */
display /i $pc
/* Type this after watchpointing. It tells GDB to automatically show the address’ function when frozen */
info r
/* Gives you the current value held in registers 0-12 */
stepi
/* Shows you the next function */
✻ Troubleshooting

GDB is not attaching when I use the app binary name - why?

Using the binary name doesn’t always work. To get the processor ID, quit GDB by simply typing “quit” and then type “ps ax” (no quotes). That will bring up all running processes on your device. Look for the one in /var/mobile/Applications - the pid is listed on the left.

 

When attaching a process, I get “Segmentation fault:11” and get kicked back to root - why?

The app you are trying to debug has anti-debug security. To get around this you’ll have to disable ptrace in IDA. I will not cover that in this guide, perhaps in another. It isn’t a very common issue at the moment, I’ve only seen Gameloft and TinyCo. use it.

 

GDB didn’t freeze when the value changed - why?

This bugged me all the time, and King Kong was nice enough to help me find a solution. :) It’s quite simple actually, just control+c to make Putty/Terminal give you back the command-line. From there, re-enter the watchpoint command and type continue. The new value and address should now pop up without even needing to change it again in-game.

 

The address GDB gave me isn’t a hackable function - why?

The address GDB spits out isn’t always the function to hack. Load up IDA and have a look around the address - most of the time the function you want to hack is above the address given to you. Remember there are multiple ways to hack a function, it really depends on how well you know ARM.

 

✻ Special Thanks

King Kong - For helping me on ptrace and freezing apps!

I figured out what Zahir wrote^^ BTW :o EvillyG00d!!!! :o:D

 

to do the x/20i you need to subtract 4 * 20  or 2 * 20 (for thumb ;) ) from the offset

 

BTW

1. watch -location *0xADDRESS gives you some better info than just watch :D

2. instead of display/i $pc you can do x/i $pc

and it doesnt do what u said it does.... complicated to explain.... like reload for ammo, or not enough coins if u attached a watchpoint to coins, pc will display the function that gives u the alert view saying u can't buy

3. you can use c , cont , or continue :)

      iOS Hack Download IPA Link:

      Hidden Content

      Download via the iOSGods App








      PC Installation Instructions:
      STEP 1: If necessary, uninstall the app if you have it installed on your iDevice. Some hacked IPAs will install as a duplicate app. Make sure to back it up so you don't lose your progress.
      STEP 2: Download the pre-hacked .IPA file from the link above to your computer. To download from the iOSGods App, see this tutorial topic.
      STEP 3: Download Sideloadly and install it on your PC.
      STEP 4: Open/Run Sideloadly on your computer, connect your iOS Device, and wait until your device name shows up.
      STEP 5: Once your iDevice appears, drag the modded .IPA file you downloaded and drop it inside the Sideloadly application.
      STEP 6: You will now have to enter your iTunes/Apple ID email login, press "Start" & then you will be asked to enter your password. Go ahead and enter the required information.
      STEP 7: Wait for Sideloadly to finish sideloading/installing the hacked IPA. If there are issues during installation, please read the note below.
      STEP 8: Once the installation is complete and you see the app on your Home Screen, you will need to go to Settings -> General -> Profiles/VPN & Device Management. Once there, tap on the email you entered from step 6, and then tap on 'Trust [email protected]'.
      STEP 9: Now go to your Home Screen and open the newly installed app and everything should work fine. You may need to follow further per app instructions inside the hack's popup in-game.

      NOTE: iOS/iPadOS 16 and later, you must enable Developer Mode. For free Apple Developer accounts, you will need to repeat this process every 7 days. Jailbroken iDevices can also use Sideloadly/Filza/IPA Installer to normally install the IPA with AppSync. If you have any questions or problems, read our Sideloadly FAQ section of the topic and if you don't find a solution, please post your issue down below and we'll do our best to help! If the hack does work for you, post your feedback below and help out other fellow members that are encountering issues.
