  • How to Cheat and Hack Flash based Games

    Author: Raymond

    Today I am going to share with you on how to cheat on flash based games. Most of the computer games that can be installed on computers have backdoor cheats where you simply type the code, and you get unlimited money, health and so on. But flash games seldom have built-in cheats.

    I’ve introduced 2 flash based games, which are Tower Defense and Sword and Sandals. Honestly, I find both games impossible to win after a few rounds. Tried looking for cheat codes, but they're not available. The only way to cheat in flash based games is to hack the memory.

    This method I am going to teach you can work for ALL flash based games. As long as it is developed by flash, you can use the same method, with the same logic to cheat your way through.

    To cheat in flash games, you’ll need:
    1. Cheat Engine
    2. Calculator (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Calculator)
    3. A little luck and brains

    Here’s the simple explanation on how you’re going to hack flash games with CheatEngine. You are going to use CheatEngine to load the browser that is running the flash game, search for the value in the memory, modify or freeze the value. If you change the value to a higher number, you’ll get a higher value. If you freeze it, that means you won’t run out of that value.

    For example, you want to increase your health from 200 to a higher number. Just multiply 200 by 8, which equals 1600. At CheatEngine, enter 1600 as the value, and click on First Scan button. You should have more than 1 result. So you must test one by one until you find the correct address to modify.

    Make sure you change back to the original value on the address that’s not the right one, to avoid the game being corrupted.

    In short, any value in the game MUST be multiplied by 8 before searching using CheatEngine.

    Here’s a demonstration of how I hack my way through in Tower Defense.
    Run CheatEngine and load the process that you used to load the flash game. I use Internet Explorer, so the process would be iexplore.exe.

    When you start playing Tower Defense, you’ll get only 40 gold. I have to multiply 40 with 8 and I get 320. Enter 320 in the CheatEngine value and click on First Scan button. I got 105 results, which is too much to guess which is the address I should modify to get more gold.



    So I should spend a little gold and try searching again, until I get fewer results.

    Now I have 73 gold.



    I multiply 73 with 8 and got 584. I searched again in CheatEngine with the value 584 and this time I got only 27 results. What I do next is right click on the results and click on “Select all items“. When all results are highlighted, I click on the small arrow and all 27 results would be copied to the address list.

    Next, click once on the address list, and press CTRL+A simultaneously. You’ll again see all 27 results highlighted. Right click and go to Change record -> Value. Enter the new value 4672. I got 4672 by multiplying 584 with 8. This new value which I am going to enter will be the new amount of Gold I want. Once done, simply spend a little money on the game and you’ll notice that the Gold is updated with the new amount! (which is 539 for me)



    Until now, we still don’t know which actual address to hack to get more gold. We use the same steps as above, but this time with the current gold.

    I now have 539 gold. Multiply 539 by 8, which equals 4312. I search for 4312 in CheatEngine and this time I ONLY got 2 results! So the actual address to hack the gold is either one! I try the first one by adding it to the address list, and change the value from 4312 to 34496. Why 34496? It’s because I multiplied 4312 with 8. Remember, always multiply your values with 8.

    I spend a little money on building towers, but the gold did not increase. Now I automatically know that it’s the second address that determines the amount of gold I have. Simply update the second addresses value with a higher number, and you’ll get lots of gold to build towers!

    Here’s another demonstration on how I cheat my way through on Swords and Sandals 2.
    Run CheatEngine, load Internet Explorer that runs the flash Swords and Sandals 2 game.

    First, to hack the amount of gold. We have 2500 gold to start. 2500 times 8 equals 20000. Enter 20000 in CheatEngine, and click on First Scan. I found only 4 results.



    Add all 4 results to the address list, and change all 4 values from 20000 to 160000. I got 160000 by multiplying 8 with 20000. Went back to the game and immediately my gold has been updated to 20000 gold pieces!



    To identify which address out of the 4 is the one that’s affecting the gold, simply spend a little gold, and you’ll notice a change in your CheatEngine. I spent 250 gold, and immediately I saw one of the address in CheatEngine update the value from 160000 to 158000.

    Note: For any value you've hacked, you can freeze it by checking the Frozen button. Meaning, if you've spent your gold, it won’t deduct your gold. But you have to be sure that the value is the exact one, otherwise you might corrupt the game, and have to start all over again. You can also have GOD mode by freezing your health.

    Have fun hacking and cheating flash based games!

    Note: Some anti-virus programs pick up parts of Cheat Engine as a trojan/virus. It's best to disable your anti-virus before installing or running Cheat Engine.

      You can also use Artmoney that it has an option to search in flash games memory.

        I just disassemble and directly modify when I want to edit Flash games. It's not hard to change the code for flash as long as it stays the same length(or shorter) in the file. Can take some time, but if you get one that can display the native 'assembly' like code, then search for the 'word base' it's using, the right opcodes slowly find their way to you as you edit/disassemble/restore/edit. Also, it's a good idea to have a 'Flash decompression' tool like 'Flasm'.
        This reality is mine. Go hallucinate your own.

          It's also entirely possible to decompile a flash file, edit, and then recompile it. But that doesn't usually work too well on really complicated games.

            Shouldn't he get a 3 day suspension or something for trying to teach people how to cheat on gshi arcade?

              He did not necessarily teach people to hack the GSHI arcade. All he did was post a tutorial on how to hack flash based games. He's not responsible for what anyone else does with that information. So, I would have to say no to the "3 day suspension or something" that you scarface200729 mentioned.

                I was trying to do the same thing described in the aspects of the Tower Defense game. It seems every time I alter a value in game, multiply by 8 and try to filter, it seems to suddenly turn up 0 results be it searching for a decreased value or increased value, be it search method or trying to look for alterations in the code when I gain or lose money. >.< Been racking my brain on this for the past 1.5 hours or so and head is too foggy to think anymore. I tried downloading the flash so it can be run in IE and maybe have less "data clutter" or something. O.o I don't know.

                Tried artrage with the searcj FLash values and that had similar problems. >.< Oh well.

                  I'm not sure if this is the one you've been playing, but this is a hacked Tower Defense game that let me get up to level 102 practically without trying.

                  I decompressed it, edited the Action Script that inits the money value, and recompressed it. It's actually a decently fun game up to level 70(non-cheat), where it becomes a great deal harder.

                    Good tutorial. Yes CE is the way to go for sure... also in Firefox you have to find the right plugin container process and in chrome it is incredibly annyoing since you have to try like 20 processes.

                    Also I found out that on Android you can do a similar thing using Cheat Engine APK as well.... becaue now I play less flash games and more mobile games on bluestacks

                      Cheat Engine is complicated, though. Its taken me a long time to get used to it.
