This basic cheat is the result of a side-project I did for fun. It is an Internal Hack for AssaultCube on Linux written in Rust.

Features

• ESP
• Aimbot
• Autoshoot
• No Recoil
• No Spread
• Infinite Ammo
• Invincibility
• 1-shot-1-kill

Disclaimer

This hack does not work in multiplayer on purpose and will panic if it is loaded into a non-local game. The purpose of this cheat was not to ruin other people's fun but to simply play around with a GameCheat in Rust and on Linux, as most cheats are either written for Windows or in C++ or both.

This software contains no Assault Cube intellectual property, and is not affiliated in any way.

Usage

Building

The build system of this cheat is cargo. External library dependencies are libGL headers and libSDL.

On Ubuntu, you can install all prerquisites with:

#/bin/bash
# install openGL header files
sudo apt install libgl-dev -y

# you will probably need to install libSDL-image to run the game
sudo apt-install libsdl-image1.2-dev -y

My rustc and cargo versions at the time of building were cargo 1.47.0 (f3c7e066a 2020-08-28) and rustc 1.47.0 (18bf6b4f0 2020-10-07). The build can fail when using versions previous to 1.47.*.

Then, simply run

cargo build --release

Loading the cheat

This cheat uses the Linux LD_PRELOAD technique to load the binary into the target process and to hook SDL_GL_SwapBuffers().

After building the cheat, run the following command from root directory of this cheat:

LD_PRELOAD=./target/release/libac_rhack.so PATH/TO/AC/assaultcube.sh

Target binary

I developed this hack on Ubuntu 18.04 on x86_64 architectures. At the time of writing, the game can be downloaded from https://assault.cubers.net/. Within the root of the game directory, there will be an assaultcube.sh file that is used to launch the game. Internally, this script executes bin/linux_64_client. This hack was developed for this binary and at the time of writing, these are the file hashes for it:

• MD5: 819c849fd087ed2c218a8dc660d0f389
• SHA-1: 1d8c23acde3373c10b0ef0dd03ab63194a4537e6

It matters to execute that version, as offsets will be invalidated by future updates.
