 Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 12:21 am Post subject: Pointer Offsets |
 |
|
Something tells me I don't quite understand what the offsets are in a pointer scan. Here's one of my results:
| Code: | Base Address Offset 0 Offset 1 Offset 2 Offset 3 Offset 4 Points to:
"payday_win32_release.exe"+0058 F474 31C 720 238 14 118 144E03C3 = 00 C0 79 44 (999) |
From the attached screenshot, you can see what I'm trying to do.
So I assume that payday_win32_release.exe is considered the base address for the program's virtual memory space, 0.
The first pointer is located at 0 + 0058 F474. The value at that location is C4 08 50 E8.
I looked at both C408 50E8 and 50E8 C408. There's nothing but ?? in those locations for miles, so adding 31C (C408 50E8 + 031C and 50E8 C408 + 031C) is still just a bunch of ??.
Questions:
1. I assume I start at 0058 F474. Right?
2. I look at the 4 byte value at that location, C408 50E8. Should I interpret that as C408 50E8 or 50E8 C408?
3. Whatever the answer is to question 2, do I add 31C to it?
4. And finally, the 4 byte location starting at C408 50E8 + 31C (or 50E8 C408 + 31C) should contain the address of my next pointer.
Obviously, it didn't work out, so I made a mistake somewhere. Where did I go wrong? And lastly,
5. When I see ?? in the CE Memory Viewer, what am I being told? All memory has a value, even if that value is meaningless or random. Seems like ?? is more like a "memory location doesn't exist" kind of value.

1: no, you must start at" payday_win32_release.exe"+0058F474, which is the start address of "payday_win32_release.exe" with 0058f474 added to it
2: neither, it's e85008c4
3: yes
4: yes
5: ?? means that memory address does not exist
