Tutorial How to find an Instance of a class to access pointers and static fields/methods

[Numark]

Hello, this is Slice again. I will be making another tutorial for modding.
Don't get me wrong on this tutorial, half of this may not be right or accurate, so free to comment on my mistakes.

Alright, so how do we find a static class?
So, I will be testing this on PG3D/Pixel Gun.

We have a class called WeaponManager that is not obfuscated.

So what is this about? How do we access and get the static class?


I'm sorry guys, unfortunately we need "IDA Pro".

Load the libil2cpp.so binary into IDA and wait at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for it to load, DEPENDING ON YOUR PC/LAPTOP SPECS!!!!

After this is done loading, you should see this..

IDLE means it is done loading. Also, load the ida script to get the names of everything.

Now theres this color progress on the top, you should see blue, yellow, black, etc.

You want to scroll all the way at the end until you find .bss

That is where you will get your static classes.

Now lets say our class is WeaponManager...

I have found it.

That should be it. Copy the offsets, do something magical with it.

Before we do anything else, try to find the static pointers otherwise it may not work trying to access static fields, etc.

What does the .bss mean. Can I just access the class instance by doing this:

void *WeaponManager = GetRealOffset(0x06B268AC);

I am not sure how all this works.
