[Request] PLUA Information

[bobbyjayblack]

Hello,

I'm a software engineering major at a university. I am looking for someone who has developed a way to enable PLUA calls within WoW. Please PM me or reply here.

Thank you,
Bobby

Start reversing a function that is protected in IDA, then you will figure it out quite quickly

hint: MoveForwardStart

I love you Tanaris4!

I was already a fan of your blog now I can see that you also understand the pain of the newcomers.
I don't want handouts I want to learn and it's tips like these that makes us move forward and progress.

I got it to work. Probably not on the most efficient way but it works perfectly!

I changed 7 bytes only.

Any one managed to do it in less?

I would love to have the same sort of hint for the object collision or wall walk, anything really.
I just wanted to have another challenge.

Anyways thanks a lot!

Be warned - warden is known to scan what you may have changed...

(Unless you're on a mac, I don't think anyone has done the work to see what warden actually does)

Last time I checked, warden was doing nothing on mac.

Can someone elaborate some on how to do this? I am working on exactly the same thing but I just cannot get it to work properly

xor eax, eax
ret

+ some small adjustment to mov lua_tainted, 1

If this were actually true, you wouldn't be asking the questions you do on this forum.

How many bytes were actually changed? Not in front my PC and dont remember what the opcodes boil down to. It sounds like the same thing I did though.

Software Engineering majors don't study reverse engineering. So don't make stupid comments in the future. Thanks.

As Tanaris and Master have said, some simple looking into the Lua funcs will give you all the information you need to do what you want. Good luck!

I think its a little funny that its not studied as much in Software Engineering or Computer Science. One of my friends finished last year and he had one ASM class in 3rd year and that way it... Everything else was high level. I guess you could focus on security, but then its more directed to the web and less program security.wow.. Im off topic XD

LOL someone bumped my year old thread recently!

As a software engineer, I can tell you that most software engineers know nothing about reverse engineering, and most reversers know nothing about software engineering.

Because it's simply not important to know for example in what exact registers the compiler stores stuff or what each assembly instruction does.

Exactly. Not every SWE works in C/C++ and Windows, either, so knowing about stuff like linker conventions, address space layout, exactly how DLL's are loaded, etc., is not mandatory, either. You learn it if your job or your hobbies require you to. Certainly, I have never had call to use IDA or OllyDbg in my paid work.
