How to Cheat and Hack Flash based Games
Finding A Simple Money Cheat
As a demonstration, we’re going to hack a couple of Flash games to show how easy it can be once you know what to look for. Do note that not every game will work and not all are easy, but when you know how to search it will make things easier. The first game is called SteamPunk Tower Defense and is one of the classic tower defense type games.
1. When you start the game some defenses have to be purchased to go into the tower, and you have 11000 credits to start with and the ability to buy 4 different guns. Click the blue button to buy something.
2. Now go into Cheat Engine and enter 11000 into the Value box, then press enter. Almost immediately you will see some address values popup on the left which is all the 11000 values in the game’s memory.
3. Go back to the Steampunk game and buy a gun such as the machine gun, notice the credits are now at 4000. If you look in the Cheat Engine window, you’ll also notice one of the values has changed to 4000. As it’s the only value to do this we can assume that is the value that holds the credit amount.
4. To quickly edit the value, right click on the 4000 and select “Change value of selected addresses”. In the popup box enter a higher number such as 400000 and press enter. Look in the game now and your credits will be at 400000!
For several Flash based games it really is that easy to cheat and give yourself more money or points etc. Some games will require you to spend some more money to trigger the value change and others will also change the address for the value on new levels, in which case you will need to perform a new search.
Filtering Out Multiple Values
It obviously gets a bit more tricky if your game starts with a small amount of money or you’re trying to cheat with lives or bullets. There will be thousands of values of something like 5 lives, 20 bullets or 50 credits, and they have to be filtered out as best as possible. For this next example, we’re going to increase the bullet count in a game called Bounzy 2. As you can see, you start with 9 bullets.
1. In Cheat Engine click the New Scan button, enter a value of 9 into the box and press enter. Look above the address box on the left and there will be thousands of found values for 9, this obviously has to be reduced.
2. Go back to the game and fire a shot which reduces the bullets to 8. In Cheat Engine, change the value in the box to 8 and press the Next Scan button. You should be down to no more than a few addresses in the box. Fire another shot and do a Next Scan search again for 7, now the found addresses should be down to 1. For this or any other game, you simply need to keep narrowing the found values down by going to the game and changing the value, then searching again in Cheat Engine. Eventually you’ll end up with no more than a few entries.
3. Right click on the addresses value in Cheat Engine, select “Change value of selected addresses” and change it to 50. Now fire a shot in the game and the bullets will jump to 50. When rockets and grenades are available you can do the same thing.
There’s a useful option in Cheat Engine to freeze the value, so if you want to keep the bullets at 50 all the time, they can be locked there to create infinite ammo. To do it, double click the address value on the left which will enter it into the list at the bottom. Then place an X in the Active column for each value to you want to freeze.
If You Can’t Find the Correct Values
If you’re having trouble finding a number such as a monetary value etc, some Flash games require a slight modification to the values you enter. Whatever you look for needs to be multiplied by a factor of 8, so if looking for an amount of money such as 10 doesn’t work, look for 80 instead and filter accordingly.
As a simple example, the game Swords and Sandals 3 does this when you’re searching for money or skill points. If you look at the image below, the game actually starts off with 5 skill points, but the value held at the address for those points is multiplied by 8, entering a value of 320 in Cheat Engine will increase this to 40 points.
If you come across the multiply by 8 in your searches, make sure to keep all values you enter into Cheat Engine to multiples of 8 or the cheat won’t work and you could even crash the game. We have also heard of a few games needing a slightly different multiplier of 8 and then adding 6 to the result, so the above would be 326, although we never came across any games needing this extra step during testing.
In addition to searching for exact values, Cheat Engine is able to perform conditional searches by clicking on the Scan Type drop down. You can search for values greater or smaller than a specified number, between 2 values, and also values that increase/decrease or change/remain unchanged. With those combinations more advanced filtering can be applied which should narrow down the results and get the correct addresses and values.
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately this method isn’t foolproof and not all games can be hacked although it does work a lot of the time. Games such as those on Facebook and some others incorporate anti cheating/hacking measures or store the information required on their local servers which means the values aren’t found inside the browser’s memory or are encrypted. There is no real rule as to which games do work and which don’t so it’s definitely a case of try it and see what happens.
I like how it seemed like you took too long to comment but people are still posting comments even now
What about Microsoft edge
If you download PC racing game and activate CE, you’ll be ‘Nubdumbest’ player ever :”)
Yay im a nubdumbest player!
They aint working if it will go online
can warbanner online be hacked
What if all memory is unreadable? (Using chrome 71.0 and running flash player 32.0 (64-bit))
Tried running CE as administrator (which would be no help at all since it’s automatic)
What’s weird is that I did a full memory dump and tried opening it with IDA and see the result here: imgur.com/lLMOKwv
BUT
I tried viewing the strings and memory from process hacker and now it actually finds something (imgur.com/roV5JmY)
Any information on why Cheat Engine is unable to scan memory would be appreciated
it says its a virus
That’s because Cheat Engine is a hacking tool to hack your games…
Cheat Engine is a tool that allows you to manipulate the memory (RAM) on your system, including memory addresses that are allocated to other processes.
Because of this, Windows and other anti-malware tools will see this as “potentially harmful”.
hi i wanna hack cookie cliker link: orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/
so yeah.
pls pls help me hack Bloons TD 5 pls pls pls, money cheat, sell price cheat, buy price cheat, ….. anything that increases money will do. pls.
it can be hacked but its not that easy to do bc its an online game, ive done it before and had a horrible experience
1. Get Cheat Engine and open up your flash game in your browser. Browsers like IE, FF or Opera will be easier to hack than chrome because they run on fewer processes.
2. Click the PC icon at the top right and select a process of the browser you are playing the game in. Double-click one of these processes, if there are multiple ones.
3. Enable a speed hack, set it to 0 (freeze game) and apply.
4. If the game is now frozen, you selected the correct browser process. If not you need to choose another one and repeat until the speedhack freezes the game. (Works with 99% of all flash games.)
Hey.. Guys. It might seem a bit weird to only post a comment now. But i really want to hack 8 ball pool using cheat engine… It is working fine until the first day of august 2017.The normal memory search process does not work any more.. Is there anyway to hack it still by using cheat engine??
Hoping to hear from you guys
You don’t actually have to do any calculations, Cheat Engine will do it for you if you type the equation e.g. if you have 100 health, type in 100*8 and it will search all values of 800
I just found a game where you need to multiply the value by 8 and add 6, it’s called Brave Shorties 2
What if your playing a game where your ammo isnt shown on screen as a number but as like a bar. thx
I’ve already cheat age of empires resources and figures with very large health, tiberian sun and many others games years ago with cheat engine. It’s 100% working but there you must search for changed value. On youtube you have many examples. Good luck!
Was really frustrated trying to hack Swords and Souls, until I read this, and figured out the values need to be multiplied by 8, then increased by 6. Thanks so much.
And does that Cheat Engine Program hacks or risks my PC or Laptop?
No, Cheat Engine poses no risk to your computer, unless you try to use it on Windows or system processes.
Found one that requires the (# x 8) + 6. It’s called strikeforce kitty 2. Not sure if strikeforce kitty 1 works on the same principle…
Thank you for this tutorial.
Hi guys.
Flash and shockwave are a different animal. They run inside other processes usually, but with games, they run sandboxed in their own process. Finding the right one for the right app is a little tricky. WIth different browsers, the plugin runs a little different, but most run them outside the browser in a protected memory space “as if local host”, and this can be a security problem (hence the sandbox). However, with more browsers actually enclosing it in a separate and wrapped process with the latest flash, you can be a little safer. You still need to run your AV and have it watch the process. That said…
Some have gone to the standalone flash player for this reason. It sandboxes inside the player and leaves only access to protected, private process memory (yes in your profile memory, but usually innocuous, and only with admin rights provided). Some games need that, so allow it, then copy paste the appdata, roaming, macrovision folder whereever you want (in a non run directory like documents), and wipe all your cookie\cache afterward. This will prevent any mishaps, allowing you to scan the data for problems later. You can replace this folder back to it’s location later to keep savegame data.
Hacking can be done on two levels. SaveTrainer, and GameTrainer. SaveTrainer is a bit more like hexedits. You connect to the save files in the folders, and search for specific values, then change them.
GameTrainer is a mode in which the game is running. With different browsers, the plugin will have different names and process id’s. Check them out. They may even have similar names to the actual browser. The standalone player is particularly difficult to hack, as it seems to route memory information and move it constantly in its own process. Start with the plugin process with the lowest process id, then move on to the next one. Scan the same way each time. One of them will produce results. Also, flash 7 uses the double type mostly. Anything below uses 4byte. 8 and 9 use 4byte for most standard values, but require you to multiply all values by 8 and scan for that.
Hey,
Thumbs up for such a fantastic tutorial, really helps with many of games.
Can we cheat cards gambling games like “Teen Patti Gold”?
Thanks
with your help i tried to hack pet rescue saga successfully.. THANK YOU FOR THAT..
And please let me know, Is that possible to hack facebook games such as dragon city and monster legends..
and some suggessions for hacking it..
Your article gives me more interest in trying those..
There is a way, but you can’t scan the numbers. You have to change to array of bytes and search for the correct array and change the array for some of the games. But for these two, hacking gold, gems, food is almost impossible. Its easy to hack like the limit of habitats or farms you have. Switch to text and search farm. Then select all the result you get and change the value to infinite, then buy a farm and you will get infinite farms.
The 6.4 cheat engine has a Trojan virus. You might want to get an earlier version, instead.
No it hasn’t, you’re reading too much into something like VirusTotal or your own security program’s results. Some antivirus will flag this as malicious because it’s a hacking tool.
Just had to reply to this.
You sure about that? HAL open the pod bay doors.
Seems misleading doesn’t it?
Just kidding. I’ve been using cheatengine for years. I just got into full on trainer creation. Didn’t know about flash needing a *8 or a *8 + 6 though and got stuck on my first game.
Is it possible to hack online browser game? Whenever I change the value it only modify encryption on my browser, not the actual game itself
Im using maxthon and i makes duplicates of itself sometimes but I hacked a flash game on it before and i have forgotten could you reply and help?
Hello I am Eager to try your game but the biggest question arises is that whether i can hack the coins of the games uploaded in miniclip? I mainly want the games which are multiplayer like 8 ball pool multiplayer,club penguin and others(all multiplayer)…Please reply quick as it want to try it if my aim can be achieved…!
Thank you…
I use Beamrise browser and I wanna add more chips to the DoubleU Casino game. I hope you can help me out. Thanks in forward. Please try to help me out somehow coz the game just takes my chips/money all the time.
Can you hacked Eternal Saga by R2 games by this tool? Sir, Can you please try and give me a conclusion? Thanks! Im hoping for your reply..
I’m afraid we don’t have the time to try and hack individual games on request, we’ve showed the readers how to do it, it’s up to them to try it out on the games they want….
Help please..I can’t find the shockwave flash in the process list..What can i do???
Which browser and which version of it are you using?
type about:memory in the address bar you will see pepper plugin with shockwave flash player under it next to it will be a number type the number in your calculator and press hex it will show you what file to open when you open cheat engine
How about Opera??
The older Opera should be quite easy because it’s one executable file that needs monitoring (opera.exe).
The newer Chromium based Opera is more difficult because it doesn’t have an internal task manager like Google Chrome so you can’t easily identify which process is the correct one. The only way really is to have 1 tab open and try to find the last opened opera.exe in Windows Task Manager when you open the page with the flash game in it.
Dear
it was great ,, but it is fake coins , i did for Pool Live Tour
i can’t play or buy any item
fake coins ,, any suggest ?
appreciated in advance
As I put in the note at the bottom, Facebook games are highly unlikely to work as the data is stored on their servers, and as you have to buy extra coins, the value will most likely be encrypted as well….
Yeh…. :) it worked for me… thank you very much.. you are thinking more….
I used it on swords and sandals to get 10,000 strength and you could only see my chars shoe.
