How do internal game cheats work?

A common misconception with cheating is that it's hard, or you need to be a master 1337 hacker to do it

how do they actually work?

Internal Game cheats use a .dll file to attach itself to a game or program to edit the memory

what the dll does is basically make the game think that the dll is part of the game, which is called injection or attaching

internal game cheats aren't going to affect data because it's serversided

serverside data may include thnigs like in game currency, or levels, because that data is stored on the server.

This is an example of esp, where it modifies the visuals where you can see the hitboxes of other players

It works because it can read game code, which it can pull the position of hitboxes.

Common cheats and why they work

• Wall Hack: tells the game that the walls are transparent
• Aimbot: takes the position of a hitbox, and makes the character point to it
• Auto-anything: integrated macro
• God Mode: set health to an ungodly number
• Speed/Jump Hacks: set WS/JP to whatever
• Literally everyhing else: Memory editing

How can games detect this?

The most obvious solution is to detect the dll injecting

For specific cheats, games can use creatice techniques to detct them. Like aimbot, where the game can make a fake player.

Or for Automation cheats, where it can stop you if you make too many inputs too quickly
