How to find WoW BaseAdress on a Mac and get offsets from binary file?

[pcmdxx]

Hello,

I was reading in the forum for a while but I have still some questions regarding base adress and offsets.I can only find there information for windows. Most oft them uses blackmagic, which is windows only.

To learn a little bit I wrote a small script in Objective C where I can put offsets in (which I found with a cheat engine) and print out the results (health, name, mana) in my UI.
e.G.

Then I thought 'cool you have your offsets you need", but then I switched the character ingame and realized, I get no values, the offsets are different.
health offset for for the first character : 0x2DB6F588
health offset for for the second character : 0x223551C8
....

I started to read a little bit more and if my Idea is right, I'll need the base address + player GUID + health offset , to get the health value for every toon I log in.

And here is my problem. I have no Idea , how I get the baseAdress on a Mac in Objective C. I found a snippet on stack overflow, which returns me always
0x406AC00000000000 for the base address. I thought mac uses ASLR, so the adress has to change every time I run WoW?

-(vm_map_offset_t)getBaseAddr: (mach_port_t)task; {
    vm_map_offset_t vmoffset;
    vm_map_size_t vmsize;
    uint32_t nesting_depth = 0;
    struct vm_region_submap_info_64 vbr;
    mach_msg_type_number_t vbrcount = 16;
    kern_return_t kr;
    
    if ((kr = mach_vm_region_recurse(task, &vmoffset, &vmsize,
                                     &nesting_depth,
                                     (vm_region_recurse_info_t)&vbr,
                                     &vbrcount)) != KERN_SUCCESS) 
    {
        printf("FAIL");
    }
    return vmoffset;
}

My new plan is, when I have the base address, to look up the offsets for player GUID and the health offset and add them to the base address and then I have my offset from which I can read the health.

I know there is the old pocketgnome source in the web, but I dont want to copy paste only, I want to learn something!

greetings,

Are you using IDA at all? Or only searching memory?

It's going to be VERY difficult if you're searching memory vs. just checking out a function in IDA.
