Help/Support Breakpoints & Watchpoints

RuffNut · January 30, 2019

Hello all,

I understand that breakpoints stop the program when a line of code/instruction is reached and a watchpoint stops the program when something changes (watchpoints make sense). What I want to know is what can breakpoints be used on? Not sure how stopping at an instruction helps. Let’s say we are hacking ammo, and the offset was 0x12345 but we aren’t sure if it deals with ammo, would we set a breakpoint at 0x12345 and shot, and if the game stops we could assume that 0x12345 is useful?

Thank you.

Please wait, whenever he chooses to update he will update. Learn to hack if you want hacks as soon as a game updates

yes.

Breakpoints stop execution when the PC register (aka the offset) matches the offset you input

Watchpoints hit when something modifies the memory address you're watching and shows you the PC register

Watchpoints are basically hit by "STR" functions while breakpoints can be due to anything

So if I’m hacking ammo using a breakpoint and I input an offset I think may be the offset that has to deal with ammo and I shot the game should freeze, and I then know that the offset may be useful.

Yeah. And in the terminal you've used (PuTTy or whatever), it'll tell you if the breakpoint has hit.
