Unknown Search

When you can't guess what format is the value you want to find this is the last resort

Get a starting list of candidates

1. First do a memory dump

• SearchManager
• memory dump

2. Go to game and get it changed
3. Search for difference

• SearchManager
• Search Setup
• Diff
• Continue

4. Repeat step 2 and 3

Some ways to converge the list of candidates faster

Perform a sameB search if you are able to get the same value in game

• place the cursor on the file that has the same value (You can see the value by looking at the screen shot, the first file produced with diff with a dump have the value of the dump, you need to do diff twice to get both the value of the dump and the current value)
• Select B
• place the cursor on the file that has the candidate list you want to shorten
• SAMEB

Perform same search

• perform some game action so memory gets modified but make sure that your target don't change
• SAME

Perform bit flip search ( do this when you suspect the game code simply flip some bits to hide the target from you )

• Take note of the value in game ( this is A )
• Play the game so the value change ( this is B )
• Search Setup
• Set A
• Set B
• A bflip B
