First of all, you don't start hacking right way, so.. if this is what you are looking for, Give up.

Ok, I feel the need to create this thread as this question keeps being asked over and over and over... (We all can see this from threads created)
So this pretty much will be useful to Link for those who are BLIND and can't look at stickies before posting.

Your first step should be picking up a Programming Language to learn. This is not an easy step as there is multiple languages.

•My personal Opinion is for you to start with a lower level language as C or C++ (I did start with C)

Be patient, get a book, get some documentation, READ IT.
If you are not at a school, you won't get someone to teach you everything. You need to explore (We are here to assist you on your problems as long as you tried something first and you show to us that you want to proper learn)

•Proper Learning: Learning by trying, and reading what stuff does and how it works. Not Copy & Pasting already written code and Click run button.

After you feel comfortable with this Language (I will be honest here, this will take time, a long time.. Most of the books at the end of each chapter has small projects for you to practice what you learnt, which is good and informative), start looking into specific Memory Manipulaton WinAPI functions. Such as:

•CreateToolhelp32Snapshot function
•Process32First function
•Process32Next function
•OpenProcess function
•TerminateProcess function
•WriteProcessMemory function
•ReadProcessMemory function

Your best friend will be that Documentation (And google), is says everything but everything you need to know about those functions, and how do they work: MSDN Library

These steps are the baby steps, do not get ahead of yourself, or you will end up failing as almost everyone did.

Few tips:
Forget About GUI Projects for now, It is much better to start coding on a console project. No gay auto generated code and you will learn without stupid events that objects create. (See.. you have no idea what I am talking about, yet it is there right on your first project)
Why Books? Because most of them explain decently, have good examples and will be teaching you on the correct order. Plus, of course, practice exercises.
Copy & Pasting code is bad... You are not creating anything new, you are just copying what someone else did. You won't be learning and you will be hated most likely for those who actually know what they do and could help you.
There is some more stuff that you need to know to proper game hacking, but as for now, this is enough. As I said, don't get ahead of yourself.
Get back here when you feel ready for more


Any question related to this, there is no need to open a new thread. Just post here and ask away.
Peace.

nice thread

I like This Thread of yours sir. Thanks.
Great Thread!

Is this one is related to visual basic??? hehehe its our lesson in computer 4 year HS..

Nice tread..

Holy hell, what the leech.

I joined this site to simply go to show that it is a bunch of wannabe hackers. Skyle17, I am disappointed - this user didn't give due credit to the original creator of the thread. Where is your common sense to check?

http://www.mpgh.net/forum/31-c-c-programming/496928-how-start-into-game-hacking.html

My god, this site is now on the pathetic list and will forever be known as the IWANNABETHEVERYBEST.

Take it easy fellas, stop leeching - start working. All the things on this site are on other sites from months, even years before the post here.


EDIT: It's sad that an administrator leeched this and didn't give credit. Please do so because you piss those of us who can write our own articles, the fuck off.

P.S - I implore you to think a DDoS attack will affect me. I assume that's what all butthurt skids do so, forgive me if I am wrong.
