Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

If you have always wanted to learn how to hack a program's memory, reverse engineer and debug software, then this is the course for you. Traditionally, we use tools like x64dbg, OllyDbg for reverse engineering and debugging. However, 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 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 the software works internally and also for reverse engineers who want to fix bugs where the source code is not available.  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 with. 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.  

By the end of this course, you will master Cheat Engine by hacking CrackMe challenges and will be familiarized with Reverse Engineering basics.
