GameConqueror 0.09 -- Linux Game Hacking Tool

If you are a game hacker
If you've been looking for a `CheatEngine for Linux`

Then you can't miss this.

==============================================


GameConqueror is a game hacking tool for linux, it's written in PyGTK and uses scanmem as its backend.

It's supposed to be with most useful features of CheatEngine for Linux.

Currently, I've implemented almost everything about scanning, involving variant data types and scan types:

Data Types: int{8/16/32/64}, float{32/64}, unknown type(int or float) and unknown width(will try each of them), byte array and string
Scan Types: equal, greater, less, changed, unchanged, increased(by), decreased(by)

This should be enough for most cases, so I decided to release it at the current status.

=============================================

Here's how you can get it

PPA (for Ubuntu users)
https://launchpad.net/~coolwanglu/+archive/scanmem
(I've not test it in 32bit environments or Jaunty, do please inform me if it doesn't work)

SVN
svn checkout http://scanmem.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ scanmem

Homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/scanmem/
make sure you selected the correct version `0.09`

You'll need python and python-gtk to run it, and to build it from source code, you'll need libreadline (this should have been installed for most of you)

=============================================

NOTE THAT GAMECONQUEROR MAY CRASH YOUR PROGRAM DUE TO BUGS OR IMPROPERLY USAGE, DO BACKUP YOUR PROGRESS BEFOREHAND.

To use it, actually I've created a menu item, which could be found in the 'Games' category, or you can run it by executing `gameconqueror`, and please do this in a terminal (see below)

Read the tooltip of the label 'Value' to get familiar with the syntax

About the annoying terminal window, now this is the only place where you can see the progress of scanning, and the error message if something goes wrong. This terrible thing is basically because I've mainly focused on the features of scanmem so far, and I'll fix this in the next version.

=============================================

What will be added in the next (or maybe future) version:

- better ui (progress bar, error message, user interaction, etc...)
- search for pointers
- optional float rounding method
- memory viewer/editor


and what will not be added
- speed hack (I've no idea about how to implement this in Linux, can anyone tell me plz?)
- disassembler
- many other `too powerful` features in CheatEngine


any feedbacks will be appreciated.

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Chasing an IO Phantom

My home server has been weird since months ago, it just becomes unresponsive occassionally. It is annoying but it happens only rarely, so normally I'd just wait or reboot it. But weeks ago I decided to get to the bottom of it. What's Wrong My system set up is: Root: SSD, LUKS + LVM + Ext4 Data: HDD, LUKS + ZFS 16GB RAM + 1GB swap Rootless dockerd The system may become unresponsive, when the IO on HDD  is persistantly high for a while. Also: Often kswapd0 has high CPU High IO on root fs (SSD) From dockerd and some containers RAM usage is high, swap usage is low It is very strange that IO on HDD can affect SSD. Note that when this happens, even stopping the IO on HDD does not always help. Usually restarting dockerd does not help, but rebooting helps. Investigation: Swap An obvious potential root cause is the swap. High CPU on kswapd0 usually means the free memory is low and the kernel is busy exchanging data between disk and swap. However, I tried the following steps, none of the...

Fix Google Security Code

Google Security Code (http://g.co/sc) is one type of 2-step verification. This is particularly useful when security keys and passkeys are not available. I have been using it in my LXC containers, until today I found out that it stopped working. It just kept saying "The code is invalid". It is easy to rule out some factors: The code works on other browsers on my laptop. The code works on other devices that are directly connected to the router. So it appears that Google also checks IP addresses besides the security code. Recently I have IPv6 enabled, so most devices that are directly connected to the router have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. But  I only enabled IPv4 for my LXC containers. So I guess when a code is generated by device A and used by device B, Google should be able to check that device A and device B are closely located. But in my case, IPv6 address appears on device A but not on device B, which may look suspicious. To fix the problem, I just needed to disable IPv...
