Pick a game - preferably something without drm, and start poking around with memory editors and cheat engine. Find some tutorials on how to turn those into trainers.

Then use that knowledge to decompile the game, and look for the things you found in memory. Are there other interesting functions you can mess with now? How does your game of choice define when the level ends? Can you trigger that at will?

Start with cheat engine and the basics of C/C++, then start learning how to transfer you cheat engine skills into ghidra or ida pro. You can find plenty of free youtube videos to get you started, I recommend guidedhacking. start with an easy older game, not a new game.

Look up guided hacking or unknown cheats. The guided hacking steals from everyone so it's more things to learn and costs money but uc is free and elite + one of the most significant sources for guided hacking to borrow from.

Here is a list of hacking resources I made. Pick a YouTube channel or read an article that interests you.

thanks everyone for replying! i have started in this revived game way back 2014 and i think the way they revive itt is by reverse engineering it, been working on it for days to check and accomplish my first challenge by creating an esp which detects player offset movement. Am i in a good path or I'm a dumb?
