The rise of new apps to hack games on Android |
Posted: December 1, 2017 |
Cheating is wrong in all areas of life, but in the case of video games, this practice exists from its origins through various channels, some more lawful than others. A few years ago it was fashionable Cheat Engine for Windows, a tool that injected code into running programs to cheat in our games. This practice has been transferred to the Android ecosystem with applications that allow modifying on the fly the information of the games in execution: Hack App Data, Game Guardian, Game Killer or Game Hacker are some of the most used. How do these applications work? Normally, video games that require an Internet connection to operate and constantly update the information they manage internally, usually detect with ease those modified applications that offer advantages to certain players. That is why these applications usually recommend that they are preferably used in offline titles. For these cases, it is better to resort to other tools such as the well-known Lucky Patcher. Regardless of this, in most cases, this type of trickery is totally against the rules of use of the software in question, although in this text we are not analyzing precisely the moral dilemmas that this practice entails. Hack App Data Hack App Data APK is an application that does just what its name suggests it does: modify the data of an application. For this, we need to have root privileges. Otherwise, we can only take a look at the basic information of an app, but we cannot modify any relevant data.
All applications on our device are divided between system apps and user apps. In the first category, we will find those applications with which we should probably be more careful, while in the second we will find all our games and other less delicate apps.
Once we have selected an application, we can modify both the preferences and the information in the database. We can even see the internal files of the app in question, play them, view them or edit them.
Hack App Data is a very interesting application, thanks to which we can modify some values of our apps. And as long as we do it with merely recreational reasons, there's nothing wrong with that. Game Guardian Therefore, the operation of these tools involves modifying the code of the games is modifying the information during its execution instead of trying to crack the static files of the installation. Take for example Game Guardian. Once installed, we will execute the game in question that we want to modify, we will leave it running in the background and we will execute the application later. From the list of running processes and select one of the games that we have started. Now we can use the search of values to find the parameter that interests us. Depending on the game and the value that we want to modify, finding the parameter to modify will be more or less complicated. For example, imagine that we want to change the accumulated gold, which is measured by a number of many figures. We open the search and select variable search Dword (a number of 4 bytes) Introducing the value 40.350 it is probable that we will only receive a return result. Clicking on it we can change its amount, modification that will be reflected in the game instantaneously. Game Hacker Another is that we are trying to modify a value that is not represented on the screen in numerical form as an energy bar. For this, there is an option that looks for variations of a number that descends with the passage of time. For this, we must alternate between the game and Game Guardian so that we reduce our in-game energy in some way. After a few iterations, the rest of oscillating values will have been discarded and we will have the one that interests us, being able to modify it as in the previous case. And no, nobody said that this would be easy. Game Killer Another interesting functionality of Game Guardian is in the fact of being able to modify the internal clock of which the game is worth, so if for example, we have to wait a certain time for a building to be built, we can drastically reduce the delay. For that, we will have to click on the semitransparent icon of the app and increase or reduce the flow of time.
