GNU/Linux Game Hacking [Episode 2] : Memory Protection, Dlsym & Trampoline Hook
Hello everyone, in this series I discuss video game hacking on the GNU/Linux operating system. I mainly talk about how hacking can be done by using the posix & linux tools, which turn to be extremely useful for that.
In this episode I talk about mprotect and memory protection. I also go on about finding a symbol's address in memory using dlsym and how to perform 'trampoline hooking'.
I will also maintain a git repository containing the source code for every episodes:
