Introductions to compsci concepts like this are really great. Would love to see more!

Bro you are one of the few YouTubers that's stuff is actually pro and is good dam please please stay on YouTube you are just like awesome

After learning x86 assembly for the last few months it's cool to see an application where all my studying is useful day to day rather than something that's in the back of my mind when I'm coding in something like c++

hey cazz, just wanted to say i've been watching for a long time and your videos are getting better and better! Keep doing what you're doing, you're helping a lot of people out

[LukeKido]

That's one of the most impressive game hacking overview I've ever seen.
You made it all sound so simple, even when explicitly mentioning it's not a short journey and experience matters the most.
Thank you

Oh I had never heard of reclass. That sounds very useful - I always just reconstruct the structs by hand in IDA. No matter how good you guys get, always rewatch the fundamentals. I always learn something new

The video starts at 1:29. The video is great (after the long-a*s ad) ❤

what really helped me learn reversing back awhile, was to reverse engineer my own code and try to break it :). Great VID cazz !

Even if it is tough for others to learn even the basics, doing self-learning every hour of a day or week can help out a TON, especially when it comes to having a lot of free-time or needing to meet deadlines like college.

I have a very very basic understanding of reverse engineering from watching other people, and attempting stuff myself, and this is a great video. Very good advice here, I also learned some things from this as well, thanks for the informative content cazz

As an SE student, we do learn about reverse engineering, however we were also taught it may cause legal issues, whether or not it is legal to do it on all games software is generally considered a complicated issue that involve copyright or country law stuff.

It is important to note that even if reverse engineering is not explicitly illegal, it may still be prohibited by the end-user license agreement (EULA) or other agreements with the game developer/publisher. Violating such agreements could result in legal action being taken against the reverse engineer. -ChatGPT

I'm not sure how you get a sponsorship after uploading a video on how to create an aimbot, but more power to you. Great content

Finally a youtuber who actually explain and not Just "do this and that and try and You May get there"

I have been reversing engineering Android apps for about 2 years now. When i started out, i was so lost. But i think it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me because i developed my own techniques of re.

[mathocity]

We should be glad that he's giving this content for free.

As beginner Full-stack developer, I am deeply interested in topics such as low level computing and reverse engineering. but I am a bit overwhelmed and not sure if I should stick to improving my full stack skills or if I should jump right ahead into learning C. Any suggestions?

[alexionut]

Yours is one of the few channels i have the bell notification turned on. Great content! :)

03:09 - THANK YOU for this bro, i have printed and saved it here, thanks again, this will help alot ! ❤ 🤣

[Coledebord]

It is actually hilarious how cazz can say with a straight face that any competent reverse engineer would waste their time using Ghidra instead of cracking the full version of IDA pro whenever they want. Even the IDA devs know individuals who are halfway decent at reversing and just want a full copy of IDA to use on their personal PC are going to get it for free if they really want it because its not hard to patch just like anything else we do on a daily basis. Charging thousands of dollars for an individual license for IDA pro is so absurd that it might as well be a challenge to crack it publicly issued to the target customers that are largely made up of professionals and enthusiasts in the software analysis / vulnerability research field to begin with. I'd be shocked if more than 10% of individuals that have it (using it in a personal non-commercial /work capacity) actually paid for it lmao. Hexrays makes all their money from commercial sales anyways, and they do quite well.

This is a very interesting video!

I've got an actual question about something that I didn't quite get throughout the video.

What would you have to do to reverse engineer a game's savedata if it has a checksum.

How do you do it?
