I would like a hack for this too ). Want to test with paros but I couldn't get it to run on my comp.

[deathsyct]

i'm looking for a hack for this game too.

[oplok]

Anyone got a hack yet

[showstopper]

This is gonna be like trade nations - all server side. So the chances of a hack are going to be slim.

I had some bad try to hack this app...
U can unzip app and find some files like *.json in a "bundle" folder, but any changes in files was replaced from server http://file-bundles.....amazonaws.com/ on original files.

I was try to hack app using proxy-server (using rules to replace getting files), but the hash file check in app don't accepted chanched files.

Have anybody some idea?


P/S/
Sorry for my english.

I do have a great idea, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I just registered this forum to share my idea with you, I hope you can make it work.


Well, let me start from the begining (I will try to explain myself the best I can).

I don't know if you have played "Eternity Warriors", which is from "Glu Games Inc"... well in previous versions of the game they offered a promo that you can see short promotional video in exchange of "Gems" (if you haven't played it, Gems are like the "NanoPods" in Battle Nations).

Now, this Eternity Warriors game that I am taking about, some guys discovered a way to hack into the game, and change the value of the (Gem) reward to whatever value you want. For you to get an idea, it is done this way

1). Locate the Eternity Warriors Folder and go to "Documents"
2). In "Documents" go to ".AdColony" folder (It is a hidden folder, so make sure to adjust the settings of whatever program you're using for you to see this folder)
3). In this ".AdColony" folder, locate the file "metadata.plist" and open it with your favorite text editor xD
4). Here it comes the magic. In the last lines of code of this file you will find this

...
<key>vc_reward_amount</key>
<string>1</string> Well this "1" is the responsable of how many Gems you will recieve after looking the promo video, so yes, your guess is correct. You have to change it to whatever value you prefer. That way, every time you see the video, you will get "that" number of Gems that you entered.
....
....

Ok, on Battle Nations I have seen that it have the same option for you to see a shortvideo in exchange for a NanoPod. So there should be a way to hack Battle Nations the same way, right? So far I haven't been able to identify if there is such a file that you can modify to do this, but I am sharing this with you to see if you have more luck than me.

For Battle Nations it is impossible ((
i thought about this and try to search similar files, but z2live have some exp and they are use other technology for this.

Блеать, что ни у кого нет никакой идеи?


So, anybody don't have any idea?

[iHobbes]

Hi there!it seems like I know how to hack this game. I'm not a pro in progamming (just a rokkie) but I've noticed some things in this game
Remember that in the beggining of the game one of the character gives you 5 nanopods. Let's find this code and change 5 to 100000! or just use this code to make DLC. this code can also be found because sometimes when you have a level up you got one free nanopod
If you have installed iAP cracker (or smth like that, I can't remember its name), he will work only if the app doesn't use Internet connection, but Battle Nation doesn't want to work without it. well, can we delete the function who doesn't let you to play offline? it seems like if we do this, we'll be able to use iAP cracker 2 get some nanopods, and then connect 2 the internet.
that's it. unfortunately i don't have a Mac to hack the game, but if you're a hacker, you'll be able to change 5 to 1000000. sorry for my mistakes i'm a russian)

Hi bro! U can use hackintosh!

[Nobleza]

im still an newbie with hacking but anyone that will accept this challenge to hack this game is a pro

[ChaosNLD]

I tried to edit everything in GNU Debugger, it all worked, but as the game is servers sided everything disapeared after i reconnected.

I used IDA to search for a function to change my XP and came up with a function called "setXP" on "0x8F0BC".
So with gdb i made a breakpoint to see if i were right. So the moment i clicked on collect (anything that is completed).
GDB paused at my breakpoint. I asked for the info registers and saw that info register "r2" was the value of xp that i
was getting from the collect button. After i knew this i changed the value to "999999" and became level 30
(the max in this game).

As i already told you guys the level you see is only on your device, so when you reconnect its gone.
BUT... when your device is saying you are level 30, you can get all the level 30 stuff in the shop!!!
So when you relog you will get to your normal level, but you don't lose the things you bought when you were level 30!!!

So basically you can get Tanks realy soon in the game this way!

I'm still exploiting this bug/hack to gain even more. Let me know what you guys have done so far!

Add me on Game Center!

Chaos what cydia app did u use? Ifile?

[darksky5992]

ChaosNLD u are a genius. can u teach us how to do it step bt step, please? i'm new with this

[ChaosNLD]

On my iPad/iPhone i used "GNU Debugger" (Cydia Tool) you
can download it when you have cydia set to Developer.
On my Computer i used "IDA Pro" to disassemble the game.

With IDA you can Disassemble the game so you can see what its functions are and how the app works.
With GDB (GNU Debugger) you can debbug the app wile running.

So basically you change the memory with the information you got from the disassembled binary...

I'm going to explain it to you guys later...
If you cannot wait to learn about Binary Hacks and/or
GNU Debugger you can take a look at -removed-
This is where i learned all the stuff...

Keep in mind that you need to know how to SSH into your device with a terminal program.
