tangential rant/vent > Google is your friend here and then you find people who do writeups consisting of "And I'm gonna skip over this part, since if you don't know how to do it, you shouldn't be doing it", or "I reverse engineered X, but I'm not going to tell anyone because it would be bad if this was widespread" (though, my personal focuses were more towards specific games (though not for uncompetitive advantage sake, the tools resulting from the RE mentioned are public n' stuff, and known by the devs for a long time now)) one of the tools was in python so it was easy enough to decompile that, but it still doesn't teach thought process or methods for finding relevant items in the code (like hooking into a function that processes in game market data so it can be saved to a text file)
