Reverse Engineering and Memory Hacking with Cheat Engine

Learn how to reverse engineer and hack the memory of programs running on Windows

What you'll learn:
Debug programs with Cheat Engine
Reverse engineer programs
Solve CrackMe challenges
Disassemble programs into assembly code
Setting breakpoints and stepping through code
Modify program behaviour
Hacking and patching process memory
Code Injection
Writing Trainers (Loaders)
Lua Scripting to hack memory
Assembly scripting to do byte patching
and more…

Requirements
Windows PC
Some Assembly or Lua background would help, but not mandatory

Description
If you had always wanted to learn how use hack a program's memory, to reverse engineer and debug software, then this is the course for you.This course is an introduction to Reverse Engineering for anyone who wants to get started in this field. It is suitable for software developers who want to learn how software works internally and also for reverse engineers who want to fix bugs where the source code is not available. Traditionally, we use tools like x64dbg, OllyDbg for reverse engineering and debugging. Howevever, those tools have their limitations as they rely on file patching to modify program behaviour. But what if the files could not be patched. Here Cheat Engine shines. Cheat Engine is a memory hacking tool. It is used by Gamers to hack games in order to cheat. Cheat Engine's main strength is its memory scanning, code injection, or process patching. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skill to use Cheat Engine in addition to whatever other tools you might already be familiar. It is also suitable for absolute beginners with no knowledge of reversing, as I will take you from zero to hero.

In this course we will learn Cheat Engine by hacking CrackMe challenges. A CrackMe is a small program designed to test a programmer's reverse engineering skills.
