[REL|ALPHA|SRC] Reference Finder

Reference Finder Alpha 2

 

Arguments:

1 : Input File

2 : Memory Address (or start of) (in Hex)

3 : File Offset (GTA 1.0 HOODLUM is 0x400C00) (in Hex)

4 : Size of Memory Block (in Hex)

5 : Output code

 

This is a tool that I developed to find references to memory address within gta_sa.exe, however I can work on any program. For instance if you want to find all the references to 0xA9B0C8 the model pointers pool you can type this into ref.bat:

 

 

"Reference Finder.exe" gta_sa.exe A9B0C8 400C00

 

However this model pool is 20000 * sizeof(DWORD) (or 80,000 bytes in length if you will), so we will need to scan the entire block for references, we can do this by changing ref.bat to:

 

 

"Reference Finder.exe" gta_sa.exe A9B0C8 400C00 13880

 

Now what if I want to use the output data in my code, well I made a code formatter in it so we will change ref.bat to:

 

 

"Reference Finder.exe" gta_sa.exe A9B0C8 400C00 13880 true

 

This is another tool that I use for making SA Limit Adjuster, so I thought I would share it with the community. Please note some of the following:

- The file name must be in the same folder as reference finder to be of use

- The output data is flushed to dump.txt

- I recommend running it from ref.bat

 

and That's all for now, so here's the link:

Nice tool ,

But if you are using The IDA DisAsm you can find all of direct-refernces by setting cursor for a needed line(address) and holding "ALT+V" then pressing "O" and one more time "O" .

Or if you are using W32DAsm all existing direct-references will be near needed line(address) .
