Can someone please write a C/C++/Go/Rust version as I am C# Illiterate .

If I may be so blunt, I suggest you help yourself. You will no longer be 'C# illiterate' when you have. I'm having difficulty understanding in what way C# is difficult to read for someone who can write in the languages that you mentioned.

  Must be a troll or a comment on the wrong thread. I know neither language, have no clue about programming and have no trouble understanding the logic in the code snippets.

    It is frustrating to see tools like this written with C#, because most C# developers have no mind to cross-platform compatibility. Often they'll build the UI using the Microsoft-specific frameworks, which Mono doesn't support. .NET programs also don't often run well in Wine, leaving me with a ton of work to do to get it running on Linux. It's not really the language that's the problem so much as the incredibly proprietary environment in which it's used.

      This isn't tools being offered it is a description of how to do it yourself (tools will need to be adjusted to data). The code presented looks very clear with simple self explanatory basic calls made (mostly accessing, reading and writing files).

      This code should work as is using Mono. But the complaint was weird in the first place?

        > This code should work as is using Mono. Sure, this one does, but nearly any .NET program with a GUI won't. It's very frustrating to run into useful programs that I can't run, and most often applications that fit that description are written in a .NET language. > But the complaint was weird in the first place? Yeah, true. There's nothing hard about reading C#, just running it.

        You make it sound as if there were no portable (or 'non-windows') C# applications. Stuff I care about: http://banshee.fm/ http://banshee.fm/ https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy http://f-spot.org/ http://f-spot.org/ http://keepass.info/ http://keepass.info/

        At least in the game-hacking-with-a-GUI space, there very nearly aren't any.

        Wow, you're really narrowing this down now. OK, there aren't many tools in the portable C# game-hacking-with-a-GUI space. Why is that such a great issue, and why is it relevant to this article?

        It's just annoying, as someone who likes to dabble in that space. There's a lot of good, interesting work done and it's frustrating that it's done using a proprietary technology I can't use when there are tons of other options. This article is about game hacking using C# and never addressed the issue of portability, because game hackers who use C# never think about portability. That was my point.
