Affordable yet deep learning

GH has motivated me on so much interesting things from the start. I value learning and education taken seriously, now days everything is either very superficial or maybe for starters very complicated, specially in IT and computers in general. GH has this very solid foundations for starters and more deep and profound info for advanced people. I value that it’s perfectly pedagogical without entering the common pitfall of paternalistic education, so common in education now days. I value being generous with information, and that that information is there for me to take. Truth be told, GH has taken me to places I’ve never thought I would be, I studied music and Classics, and now I just love learning about computers, it, networking, programming. It has literally changed my life and I can’t be more grateful for that. I’m passionate about many things but finding Ethical Hacking and programming as a new passion has been invigorating.
I can’t emphasize enough on the affordability of the prices, for some countries like my accessing that kind of information requires either a degree or pay for overprices certifications and courses. Prices are just, creators are awesome, and everything is serious. I really recommend this page, I hope it keeps growing, I hope more people can benefit from it.

The Only Place To Learn Game Hacking

Guided Hacking is the only source I could recommend to anyone interested in game hacking. I have been reading all about game hacking over the internet with nothing but confusion. When it comes to such a huge concept, what you need is guidance because without it, you get lost with outdated and unorganized content everywhere.

To be honest I was not expecting the tutorials to be up to date at all since I have seen that it's a 10+ year old website before I decided to give them a try. And it's amazing how careful they are about keeping their content updated.

The instructions from the beginning is made so clear that it's impossible to miss a step on the journey they have tailored for every skill unless you intentionally skip it, which they, and I highly advise not to do so.

The learning curve on GH is taken into account with beginners in mind, but even as someone with past knowledge and experience, I didn't want to miss a single tutorial on the road because they were carefully written, explained and so detail oriented that it's a must read no matter your skill level.

Mostlikely the best resource for gamehacking

It's a really good forum if u want to learn about game hacking/modding or ethical hacking.
I learned a lot from there.

It has a lot of resources in both text and video format.

The only thing I miss is the ability to ask questions on the forum, but I understand this decision because I know this(gamehacking) community too well :-/.

If you are intrested in these things, I can definitely recommend it :--)

The best learning experience you will have!

After originally stumbling onto this service as a referral and now having ~1 month of utilizing everything it has offer, I can safely say this is 100% worth the investment. Within 10 minutes of browsing the site and tutorials, one can see how much time and commitment has gone into creating a single source of ethical growth in the Computer Science community through education.

Having an engineering background, I realize I have only scratched the surface on this journey for knowledge and GH has been one of the greatest tools. It has proven far superior than any single item I have come across in my own professional career.

If I had to pick a single reason that tops the Pro's list for this service, I honestly wouldn't know where to start. Among the top of the list would the TRUE focus on learning, and a full separation from the same market that most other services/forums cater to, including those who would join for the wrong reasons.

I believe this is for a niche market, and creates the perfect atmosphere for learning without having to deal with the bad apples that you typically find complaining/ruining the experience like most other options out there.

If this sounds like something that matches your interests, then I would 100% recommend it!!!

Greatest place to learn how to reverse and hack games!

I'm a 30 year old software developer and have been learning about game hacking and reverse engineering for the past few years from GuidedHacking's "Game Hacking Bible".

This is probably the best place right now to get game hacking and reversing engineering content.

There are people who complain that it is a paid service, but I actually think that 30-60$ per year is very cheap.

So don't be fooled by these crybabies.

If you want to learn about game hacking and reverse engineering from scratch, GuidedHacking is the right place for you.

By the way, GuidedHacking is not a forum anymore. It's a website that sells educational courses and tutorials. Therefore, people other than content creators cannot post.

Extremely valuable resource

I have been a member of GH since March 2022. It is a precious resource for those serious about learning reverse engineering.

The game hacking bible is their signature product. It consists of 4 chapters of 20+ articles/videos each, with hundreds of hours of content to learn game hacking with literally 0 experience. If you follow it step by step in a couple of months, you will have the necessary expertise to do basic trainers.

But the GHB is not all. They also have multiple parallel courses such as python reverse engineering, java reverse engineering, and various security tutorials that are high quality.

The best thing is that GH adds new content every week, which is worth the price.

Good community for Learning

I'm a member of this community from many years.. The community is filled with knowledgeable and supportive members who are always willing to help each other out and answer questions. The resources and materials provided by the community are top-notch and have helped me improve my skills significantly. The community also regularly publish youtube videos on RE and Info-SEC and other interesting things led by the community experts, which have been incredibly valuable in my personal and professional development. Overall, I highly recommend this learning community to anyone looking to improve their skills and connect with like-minded individuals.

If you have the money and you want to learn, buy it.

The content is definitely worth the buy if you're really looking to get into game hacking, or even things like reverse engineering and malware analysis. The quality of the resources are unmatched and extremely comprehensive.

I notice lots of people leave bad reviews because they've been banned or thought the owner was bad, but as long as you read the rules and don't try anything stupid, you're gonna be great. And that's really important, just follow the rules. Don't try to bypass the paywall, don't try to DDoS the site, just don't do anything stupid, that simple. The owner could seem a bit aggressive at times but to be fair I don't know what going on in the background so I think it would be unfair to comment on that. Another thing I see people saying are that the reviews are fake. From what I see it seems like he just asks people on the site to review, nothing wrong with that. He won't ban you or anything if you don't. I think the reason he really pushes it is because of other rival sites purposefully giving bad reviews in order to make the site seem a lot worse than it is.

Also, if you aren't sure you should buy access or not, take a look at the YouTube channel. Those videos are already a great resource but on the forum there is more information for people wanting to go more in-depth. A problem for some might be the high pricing, however I think it's pretty fair since it's almost like a bootcamp where it takes you from complete beginner to expert at your own pace. Normally these trainings can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, and you only get to keep the notes you took from them. With GuidedHacking, you get to access the entire site as long as you're subscription is active.

Normally I'm all for free and open source learning but this site provides information in a way much simpler than other sites. While you could learn to become an expert for completely free, this site accelerates the path by providing everything in a nice and organized manner. This in my opinion justifies the cost.

The only complaints I have about the site is a way to give feedback or get help from others in the community. Obviously reviews are a good way to give feedback, but what if I wanted to give more feedback? I can't just keeping editing my review hoping he reads over it again. And another thing is a lack of a community. Although, the site wasn't doing too good when anyone was allowed to post since there were a lot of questions from people who didn't want to learn or just really really simple that could just be searched. It makes sense for the site to remain as a place of information rather than a worse stackoverflow. While it could be possible to maintain it, there just isn't enough people to moderate all of it.

However, this is the only problem with the site and its not really something that matters if you just want to learn. If anything doing a bit of your own research really helps in the long run as it helps build problem solving skills.

In case you're wondering why I might be qualified enough to comment on the site, I've been doing reverse engineering and binary exploitation for a little under a year now and have been using the site on and off for 3 months. A lot of resources on the site are 100x better than a lot of what I find just by searching for it on google. Their explanations are carefully thought out. Their content ranges from complete beginner to expert.

This site is only for people who really want to learn. Try dipping into basic topics and if you like it, this site is worth it 100%.

Want to learn computer science ? Come here !

Guided Hacking is surely one of the best learning oriented content i've done in the past few years.

GH has many free of charge educational content on youtube and if you want more, then you can pay for the content on the forum.

You will learn on many topics, and you will pratice a lot on what you will study.

I mean, i just did the CS420 course that is freely availible on youtube, and learned alot, i'm pursuing my way to learn more about reverse engineering, and the documentation on the forum is very great.

Well organized and structured.

I feel like i went down many sites that provided hacking tutorials but i couldn't fit any that had a very well structed and written roadmap of what is achieveable and tutorials that are well ordered. I've recently started to fully commit to learning everything there is to gamehacking and thanks to guidedhacking i feel i'll actually see improvement within now and 6 months. i know it's a thing that is not done overnight but due to the tutorials and well structured chapters it'll gradually be more easier as you take your time to understand each chapter and move onto the next.

Quality over quantity

In order to start my career in reverse engineering, I basically joined GH a few months ago on a friend's recommendation. After reading the first few posts, I realized that no matter where you begin your journey, the overall process is the same. The only thing one needs to maintain is the commitment required to learn, and every chapter will serve as a reminder to accomplish your objectives.

High quality educational resource

guidedhacking.com is legit. Many of the people who leave bad reviews are ex paid users who tried to scrape the site or bypass the paywall.

The owner of the website has, on numerous occasions, warned users that they will be banned if they try to scrape the site or bypass the paywall; however, people continue to do this.

I have been browsing this educational resource for almost one year now and I am continuously impressed by the quality of information available.

Stunning Infosec Content!

GuidedHacking is great for everyone looking to get into Information Security. I myself am looking forward to work in the sector and to start a Cybersecurity Consulting / Pentesting company and love the content. It varies from low level programming / understanding the basics of how a system works, to new up-to-date Infosec content. In my opinion it is especially valuable to people who look to get a glimpse of reverse engineering. I myself am yet quite unexperienced, but am sure with the help of Rake and other content creators I am going to learn all the basics. Important: If you aren't disciplined enough or not willing to spend the required time to learn, then you won't be happy. Learning Infosec skills and especially reverse engineering can often be hard and you need to stick to the path. Overall I can say Rake (owner) seems like an old experienced master, who'll guide your path with his tutorials, but one must find their own road to succeed. Definitely looking forward to learn even further, once I have more time to include it in my current studies.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Great at first but in reality awful.

At first i thought it was great due to every learning resource for making cheats in one place but i was very wrong. Very soon i found out that the owner of the website had a huge god complex and ego. He wouldnt take criticism from anyone even if it was constructive. Not to metion the fact that before you do anything on the website youre told that youre basically not good enough to learn the content on the website which is already demoralizing.

The one and only time i asked for a slither of help i got 0 and got a very aggressive response from the owner telling me to just read better. Well i kept searching and searching for the solution to my issue (for at least a good 6 hours) with no hope and so i resorted to brute forcing my issue which eventually worked.

I never returned to the website after this because i felt very discouraged to keep going after reading the owners responses to other peoples posts. About a year later i decided to see if anything improved (the day of writing this) and i noticed that things had only gotten worse. Firstly you are greeted with half your screen being blocked by a pop up telling you that to access the contents of the website you must pay $100 a year. Now i understand putting the contents behind a paywall because there is actually a lot of good content on the website but $100 is ridiculous. Unless you enjoy being constantly degraded by the community and owner i guarantee it isnt worth any more than $10.

In conclusion there are many better alternatives to this site that are free and explain the concepts of game hacking. I can guarantee that no matter the source you use you can become successful in making cheat you just need to persevere and have good programming knowledge :). You most certainly don't need a website such as this one locked behind a ridiculously expensive paywall and you certainly dont need an egotistical owner mocking and downgrading you at every corner of your journey.

Edit: I would just like to add a few extra things.

Firstly, I can program and have been programming in C# and C++ for the past 4 years and so i am certain that the sections i struggled with werent due to a lack of programming knowledge but instead the lack of detail and the outdated content. That actually brings me onto my next issue and that is that a lot of the content is somewhat outdated by 5 - 8 years that of course doesnt mean its rendered useless but since then there definietly have been better ways of achieving the same results.

Lastly, I just wanted to say that these were meant to be forums for people to help each other Rake (The owner of the website) has unfortunately ruined that. Forums are made for community input and interaction but sadly Rake destroyed that aspect of guided hacking by disabling replies to posts due to (in his words) "having to babysit too much" and "people should be actually reading the posts instead of begging for help". Those were practically always his excuses for why he didnt want to help others and his reason for banning users. This showcases an unbelievably childish personality and why the forum aspect no longer exists.

Reading the other 1 - 3 star reviews, they also seem to echo the same message that i am trying to get through with this review.
