[Question] CTM... Memory Editing vs. ASM?

[-Ryuk-]

Hello all,


Just a quick question...

Which is better, using CTM via ASM or Memory Editing...

I know CTM via Memory Editing is risky as a single Warden Update could catch it(maybe it already has been - I don't know)

What's the pros and cons for each?

Thanks

EDIT: I know how to do both... so that's not a problem!

What do you mean via ASM? As in injecting some ASM code to be ran that will edit the memory? I'm no pro or anything, but I would think injecting the code into WoW would be more risky than simply using WriteProcessMemory =P

By ASM, I mean injecting ASM... I know that is technically Memory Editing, but what I meant via Memory Editing was changing address values.

Injecting code may or may not be more risky... That I do not know... I would think that its safer, as I can allocate memory, and therefore the address changes, and isn't the same like CTM would be.

All caution aside, thats over the bar here anyway. Just call the function, not for security (they could just as easily catch you), but for sake of simplicity plus its more likely to work after patches since the function handles the struct data.

Go with injecting assembly. That is, if you're in a C-style language. If you're in AutoIt, stop coding immediately.

Alright, with C# it's easy enough to inject ASM to call engine functions. I assume you have some experience with it.
I'd steer clear of writing to the struct, as it doesn't call Wow's internal error checking, and the works.

But you're doing memory reads, right? Just go injected already, if you stay private, you'll be safe. That's important if you want to seriously use CTM anyway, since all that CreateRemoteThread stuff is dead slow (and so is WriteProcessMemory).

Just hooking EndScene and calling your stuff from the main WoW thread that way will work perfectly fine too?

I do it via memory writing, but I don't use injection for mine. If you want to see how it's done look @ the setClickToMove function here:
MovementController.m - pocketgnome - Project Hosting on Google Code

You need to write the position as well as the other values or it won't move correctly
