I thought of a great idea for a dll but I'm trying to figure out how to do it. Basically I want to inject a dll into a process and then it automatically scans for the address being used (I'll explain). Ok, say you open up CE and MS and attach to MS. You then scan for your HP. You then lose some HP and scan for a changed value and keep doing that till you get an address. I was wondering how I could program a dll to automatically see that you're getting hit (for example) and then find the address where your HP is stored or w/e.

If the DLL can already determine you getting hit, whats the point of making it scan for anything? Your idea is kinda defeating itself with your logic of how you want it to work. Mad

If anything, attempted to locate the health address by other means, possibly an array of bytes leading up to a pointer or something. Then you could scan for the AoB when the DLL is first injected and so on.

well, if his dll doesn't look at the health address , but looks at the health indicater on the screen and then uses a OCR algorithm to read that value it should work

Find HP addres once, right click > find what rights to this >
A find the pointer to HP
or B Add the code to the code list and right click > find what addresses this code writes to

Guess I don't know what he's asking for, then. =O

EDIT:
So, at the end, you want to just know what the HP addy is? And you want to do that via seeing what addy is being used when the HP changing line is called?
The only problem with that is that you'd need to know what that line is and to find that, you'd need to know what the addy for HP is.
You may be able to find that certain line with an AoB to make it dynamic. But I think the only way to find what value it's writing to (grabbing registers, etc) would be to attach to it.
