      It is misleading to state that 'the machine is created in C' without elaborating on the technical nuances of CPython's implementation. The primary components implemented in C are those necessary to efficiently execute Python bytecode, not to wholly recreate the Python abstract machine in C. The Python abstract machine is defined by the bytecode instruction set and semantics, which are handled by the bytecode compilation phase preceding and separate from C-level execution. While the C virtual machine components are instrumental to CPython's performance, they do not subsume or reimplement the core abstract machine as defined by the bytecode and its execution model. By conflating C implementation of performance-critical execution logic with definition of the language's abstract machine, the statement obscures the distinction between translation of source to bytecode and bytecode execution via C. A more technically precise phrasing would clarify the separation of compilation and execution phases in CPython's translation pipeline.
      CPython's implementation of the Python language entails an intricate translation pipeline comprising multiple phases, rather than a simplistic translation to C code as the misleading statement suggests. Source code is first parsed into an abstract syntax tree (AST), representing code structure. The AST is then compiled into stack-based bytecode instructions, which serve as the principal intermediate representation retaining the dynamism and higher-order characteristics of Python, including first-class functions and dynamic type resolution, using a Python-specific instruction set. The bytecode is executed by a virtual machine implemented in C, but the primary role of its C components is efficient bytecode execution, not recoding Python semantics into C abstractions. By eliding the distinction between the parsing, AST, compilation, bytecode, and virtual machine execution phases, and implying a more straightforward translation to C than occurs, the statement obscures the engineering complexity of CPython's implementation and the conceptual distance between the bytecode intermediate representation and C code. The bytecode is central to preserving Python language semantics in the implementation, not an ancillary artifact of translating Python to C.

    • @easypezy2155
      @easypezy2155 Год назад +5

      Python code (P) is compiled into bytecode (B) by the CPython implementation. The bytecode is executed by the Python virtual machine (V), which is implemented in C. The bytecode is then compiled into machine code (M) by a just-in-time compiler (JIT), which uses various optimization techniques (O) to generate highly efficient and platform-specific code:
      P → B → V → JIT(O) → M
      The optimization techniques used by the JIT include loop unrolling, instruction scheduling, register allocation, and constant folding, which are designed to eliminate redundant instructions, minimize memory access, and maximize instruction-level parallelism. The resulting machine code (M) is highly optimized, and can execute the Python program with maximum efficiency.

    You have stated zero to none benefits of using C++ over C for doing operations on memory, though. C++ conteptually is very different from C, since it is compiled for "abstract machine" and relies on heavy optimizations, often removing a lot of operations on raw memory that are deemed UB by the Standard. C on the other hand allows a larger variety of operations on raw memory.
    Also, when you inject or modify app's memory, you don't use "C or C++ code" (or even assembly), you use *binary machine code*. There's no difference whatsovere between an optimized compiled machine code of an application compiled from C/C++/Rust or even CPython.
    So, again, yoh have stated absolutelly no reasons "why one should prefer C++ for hacking".

    • @fortender
      @fortender Год назад +83

      I feel the same way about the video. I am a bit confused about the part where he states that you gain from using C++ when writing hacks if the OS is written in C and the game is written in C++. This makes no sense to me as in the end every application whether the used language is interpreted or compiled (ahead of time/just in time), it is translated into platform and os-specific machine code. When i want to write a hack it all comes down to understanding how the game works, how it's structured, how it accesses memory and stuff. Things like - buzzword bingo incoming - calling conventions, bitwise operations, memory allocation, polymorphism and stuff are interesting, but not the programming language you used to write your hack in. Use the programming language that suits you well and that's capable of making syscalls and that let's you manipulate memory. Almost any programming language i touched let you do that.

      ​@@ar-l but C is more forgiving and less strict in terms of operations on raw data. Type punning via Unions is UB in C++ but is perfectly legal in C. In C++ you have to jump through hoops when working with raw bytes. Prior to `std::start_lifetime_as` you have to PRAY to some compiler god that your `std::copy` will be optimized to no copy of received byte array.
      I am myself a C++ engineer and would prefer it for developing over C because of its idioms and fetures (RAII, Pay for what you use, compile-time polymorhism and function overloading). But advising someone to learn a VERY COMPLICATED and TIME CONSUMING language just to use a very limited subset of functions is totally insane. C would be perfect for memory manipulations, also Winapi is pure C.

    This video should be titled "What is C++?" and not "You Should Learn C++ (for hacking games)", because you literally cover *nothing* about why you even should learn C++ for hacking games, you only talk about the difference between it and other languages without linking it back to the topic.
    This video also feels very uninformed about game modding in general. Many games use interpreted languages (Java, C#, Python, Lua, ...) and require *NO* understanding of compiled languages whatsoever to mod them; they are also much simpler to change. Not to mention, games built with compiled code require a knowledge of *assembly* to mod them, not C++. Knowing C++ will not help you interpret machine instructions. This video is in a format that makes it seem like you didn't put a lot of research into this, and are just spewing forth some random observations you found out recently.

    I would really suggest using C as an alternative or at least trying both of them out before choosing one over another. I personally don't like C++'s syntax and it feels too restrictive for editing memory. As Bjarne Stroustrup said "C++ makes it harder to shoot yourself in the foot" - he could really be talking about type safety, etc. That's exactly what I don't need when unprotecting memory, overwriting values, hooking functions... On the other hand it indeed makes a lot of stuff easier to do - especially in this case, where speed is not critical / algorithms running in the background are no cause for concern. Altough you could just as well write some python script which would miraculously get injected into a running process and hook functions - those are likely only just a few challenges of what to overcome, but that's super high level and everything (except switch cases lol) is at your fingertips.

    5:38 saying that Python is so slow because it’s interpreted, (and saying it applies to node.js) - is wrong.
    Python is so slow because:
    1. expressions like "x+y" cause a search at runtime to determine which overload of + to invoke (ints addition? floats? strings? maybe cast one? maybe raise error?)
    These checks run on almost every command you write, and add up to a lot of overhead.
    2. The lack of JIT optimizations.
    V8 (node.js) has spectacular runtime spells that solve many cases of problem 1.
    For example, in node.js if you call a function 500 times with objects of the same shape, the JIT will write a function that operates over struct memory offsets like in C- instead of a regular “hash map” object.
    Some of those JIT optimizations will (finally!) come in Python3.11
    3. The infamous GIL which was a mistake decision made in the 90’s when they mis-predicted multicore CPUs. Now it’s too late to reimplement CPyhton differently.

    I'm actually of the opposite opinion. I've done some game hacking in my time and some game programming as well and there isn't anything you can do in C++ that you can't do better in C. C++ doesn't improve your ability to not shoot your foot off, in fact it becomes easier because of OOP and clusterfuck STL. I'd recommend avoiding it and sticking to C. In the end if you do go with C++ you are just going to be using a subset of C++ that makes it almost identical to writing straight C code. Professional, high end C++ looks almost exactly like C.

    So this six minutes long video explains what are some few uses of any half decent system programming language, which includes manipulating memory manually. AFAICT this can be done in Rust, C, C++, Go and probably many others. There's a lot of tutorials written in some dialect of C++ so it is a good reason to have some knowledge of it. Personally, I would stick to C for game hacking as manual memory management is where it excels, and you would end up written C in C++ anyways (well try writting game hacks with only "modern C++").

      I don't know why anyone would need OO or templates to write a hack. That stuff is for developing projects that get large and complicated. Almost any c++ compiler will compile straight c as well, but the low level memory manipulation libraries you'd probably want to use are not actually part of the c++ standard, even if compliant equivalents can be included.

    • @cazz
      @cazz  Год назад +6

      The problem is that, writing cheats is an inherently memory-unsafe activity. Most cheating is memory exploiting. The result of this is… 70% of your rust code base is going to be in between “unsafe” tags, so what’s the point.
      C++ will let you shoot yourself in the foot and that’s extremely powerful in the right hands, that edge of danger is what makes C++ so powerful.
      There are certainly use cases for rust though, it really depends on your goals.
