Theory of gold value change

[PlsHelpMe]

Hi guys, im pretty new to the hacking area. never done this before but im really into this since diablo 3 isn't fun anymore...

Years ago i lerned C++ and actually im working as a system administrator, so i do have some knowledge about network, programming, etc.

After reading some threads here, i was thinking whats the point of finding out which memory adress has the value we are searching for? Even discovering (at least with Cheat Engine its pretty easy) and changing it, this will only be visible in your own game/enviroment.

So, if we want to "inject" some gold in our account, how could we do it? I was thinking about something like:
1) killing some mob and picking up gold once
2) track all network packets with wireshark and try to find out how to send the information to blizzard
3) having this information, we could change the value and send the changed value back


im i totally wrong, or does it really works in this kind of direction? Any help would be really appreciated!

gold is server side i believe... why do you think we have to be connect every second we play?

Yea everything is server side. They made the mistake of making D2 client side for awhile.

sure, but how i said: if we can track the pick up action and see HOW/WHAT we have to send back to blizzard, we could for example manipulate the packets to increase the gold amount.

if a mob drops 300 gold, do you mean my pick up action would only triger a simple pick up action, or tell the blizz server HOW MUCH money i did pick up? if so, then we can make this happen...

ok, thx for the quick answer... so, this will be harder then i tought, if even possible

i was wondering how many youtube videos about gold hack exists... i think they only hack the gold value in the memory (to show up as if it worked) then scamm your account. Instead of trying this myself and get my account hacked i would make it myself...

itens are serialized, you cant pickup an unexistant item... ( dont know about gold but that would be the most stupid thing ever )

For doing what you want you dont need to hack the memory, you just need a packet sender/editor (with the option to send packet and to fake receive), they work great with the server sided game it's not certain that you will actually really make a gold hack but as soon as u can work with packet you can do really nice thing, afterall like every game even diablo 3 has something client side.

Nah they already did the stupidest thing ever.... 2 days ago, or was it 4 days ago, or did I change my system time back? What date and time is it again cause d3 auctionhouse doesn't seem to know......

this idea is outdated.
every item in the game has a item-id in server side, when you pick it, client send the pick action packet with the item-id, and server check the item-id is valid or not.
