Hi, I am writing a clicker for L2 and stuck with smartguard. I understand that I have to use some trampoline to bypass api hook from smartguard, but I can't find good document on how using it.

 

As far as I understand, trampoline must be place in a DLL, and that DLL must inject to L2. I have to find what api guard.des is hooking and then write a trampoline to jump to original function. In my case, I need to use SendInput() or keybd_event() or SendMessage( [WM_KEYDOWN / WM_KEYUP] ). Then I must find the actual address of  these function in module User32.dll and then write a trampoline to jump back to this function. That is pretty much everything I understand about api hook / detours.

 

But It seem not right. I think I got it wrong somewhere.

 

I use hookshark to find which api detours guard.des using, and the only interesting detour I found on the L2.exe process is GetRawInputData and it doesn't make sense. So, Guard.des doesn't hook on SendInput, keybd_event or SendMessage as it is no use to write trampoline for these function.

 

This is where I stuck.

Appreciate any help :)

Why clicker? Just go for a bot. But if u really want to, the as far as i know L2 uses directinput which is resistant by nature of it to keybd_event or SendInput. Did you try inejcting messages directly to window procedure? This works in most cases. Dont use Hookshark program, write one yourself. The popular one has soem defects, doesnt show all hooks, especially cant scan ntdll where most of interesting stuff resides.

 

And what do you mean by saying "That is pretty much everything I understand about api hook" ? You have to avoid any modifications when creating a cheat, more mods = higher detect ratio and you definitel dont want it. Hooking is terrible idea (look at l2tower which hooks like 20 functions, doesnt work anywhere).

 

So right now reverse to the window creation, find the address of WndProc and try here. BTW Can you show screenshot with log from hookshark? Im interested how many did he find... :)

I mean I am newb at hook and reverse engineering stuffs and that is what I've read somewhere from the internet  :D

 

Mouse hook and keyboard hook are the only kind of hook that I know. Since I am a noob clicker is easiest to code for me, and clicker is enough for me.

 

On some private high/mid rate server, there are other way to farm than hunt mobs, such as raid boss Zaken which need about 12 - 14 players (or 14 boxes on a single computer), and clicker is the best. My clicker just does SendMessage with WM_KEYDOWN / WM_KEYUP to the correct L2 hwnd(s) and everything is good: one player, one computer, 14 L2 client windows and one clicker. That's it.

 

Before L2 exilium upgraded with smartguard my clicker worked fine. You know what happened after they upgraded with smartguard  :D

 

Like I said, I am noob at this hook / detour stuffs, and the information I find on the internet is not helping much.

 

Here are the logs

The one which makes your clicker not work is most probably this:

 

[6596] L2.exe!window.dll->?StaticWndProc@WWindow@@SGJPAUHWND__@@IIJ@Z       || [0x1101C480] => guard.des [0x72FD382B]            || Inline - Detour [5 Bytes] || push ebp            || jmp 72FD3830h
 

Did you try to preapre the stack + original entry instructions and call it? This would work almost for sure

It starts to make sense. So, guard.des detours the callback function that handle all the messages sent to L2 client hwnd and filters out WM_KEYUP /  WM_KEYDOWN. That is probably why message WM_CHAR still works.

Well, that is beyond my knowledge :D

 

But at least, I have something to search for. I guess I have a lot of reading to do.

 

Thanks alot.

I've never been using the detour/retour terminology :) You have to understand how hooking works and how do the "hooker" call real function. The algorithm is to copy instructions from the functions entry and overwrite them with a jump to your code, and create a jump back to real function using the copied instructions and adding a jump to it. If you manage to find or reproduce these instructions then you are set. It may sound very compilcated at start but u need to check it carefully. Do you use a debugger? Its million times easier with one

I had a hunch a debugger could be useful someday, then I collected some, such as IDA pro, ollydbg... But never use them before because I have no idea how to read ASM :D

 

So, I have to find the address of the callback function StaticWndProc in the memory, then overwrite the first 5 bytes with my instructions that jump to my_function in my_dll and then my function will jump back to the 6th byte and run the original StaticWndProc. I think I read somewhere they call it trampoline, but actually it is access memory of other process and overwrite a part of that process' memory with my instructions, am I right?

 

I have a question, since guard.des overwrite the first 5 bytes with inline-detour which jump to a function in guard.des, is that right? I think maybe we just need to overwrite that 5 bytes with the original 5 bytes of the original function, like undo what guard.des does and bam StaticWndProc now received WM_KEYDOWN again.

Welp i wrote a big post and it did not send it somehow... So basically u are right with the jump idea, but u cannot unhook guard.des, it will detect it immidietly. You can try to disable the checking loop but without asm knowledge u wont do it, so what you need to do is to reproduce first 5 bytes, then add jump to the 6th and call function that way. I may make short video on it maybe

    • Here is the translation, formatted to look professional, clean, and highly scannable for your forum post: Hello L2JBrasil community! I present to you the newest development from MiaCodeWeb. We have created a robust and advanced adaptation of the Phantom system for aCis / L2JAcis 409, focused on Interlude C6 servers. Our main goal was to transform traditional "ornamental bots" into highly realistic, autonomous players. They are capable of creating themselves, restoring themselves, farming, auto-equipping, using skills, responding in chat using Artificial Intelligence, and being managed directly via an in-game panel. GitHub: https://github.com/miacodeweb/L2-Phantom-AI Video Demonstration: [Insert link here]   ## Main Features and Implementation We implemented the core of the Phantom system directly into the aCis gameserver. The architecture was divided into independent modules for AI, combat, chat, equipment, inventory, progression, logs, and administration. In-Game Admin Panel: Fully functional //phantom command. It allows you to create new phantoms, restore saved ones, reload configs, start/stop the AI, view online phantoms, kill bugged phantoms, delete them individually, and navigate through pages. Data Persistence: Created phantoms can be registered in phantoms.properties, allowing them to be restored later while maintaining all their progress directly from the database. Centralized Configuration: Everything is controlled by the phantoms.properties file, organized by sections: AI, Loot, Skills, Equipment, Zones, PVP/PK, Gemini (Chat), Logs, Respawn, and Anti-Stuck system. ## Phantom Skills and Behavior Smart Combat: They patrol, search for mobs, and claim targets to prevent multiple phantoms from attacking the same monster. Mages rest when they run out of MP and avoid hitting with physical weapons unnecessarily. Automatic Progression: Auto-learning of skills, automatic class changes following the logical tree of the chosen profession, receiving buffs, and inventory clearing when reaching a certain weight/space percentage. Dynamic Equipment System: They auto-equip based on class and level, using varying item combinations so they don't all look the same. Optimized Loot: Each phantom focuses on picking up drops/herbs from its own mob, avoiding that ugly scene of 10 phantoms chasing the same adena. PVP/PK Behavior (Configurable): Immediate response to attacks, detection of PK players in the visible area, and an optional "PK Rage Mode". ## AI and Movement Navigation and Anti-Stuck: Patrol system, free wandering, obstacle and stuck detection, with Geodata validation (when enabled on the server). Respawn: Automatic return to town after death, alongside safety rules to prevent them from getting permanently stuck in textures. Leveling Zones: Configurable leveling zones (automatic teleports to farm zones are disabled by default, as in Interlude/aCis they rely heavily on geodata accuracy and the real coordinates of your server). ## AI Chat Integration (Gemini 2.5 Flash) We integrated a Whisper system via the Gemini 2.5 Flash API, making the phantoms respond like real Lineage 2 players. Support for both free and paid API tiers. Configurable parameters: GeminiApiTier, Keys, Cooldowns, and DailyLimits. The system detects connection failures, API limits, and empty responses, and logs everything. The prompt has been adjusted so that the phantom doesn't reply with empty or robotic phrases when asked where to level up or what it's doing. ## Dedicated Log System We created an exclusive log file located at gameserver/log/phantoms.log. It records: loading of phantoms, auto-skills, buffs, Gemini API errors/successes, anti-stuck actions, kills/deletes by admin, and configuration issues. ## Simplified Distribution and Installation Thinking about ease of use for administrators, the mod is delivered in a ready-to-use package: phantom-acis-installer-client.zip. Includes an automatic PowerShell installer that injects the code into your Eclipse project. Contains README.md, INSTALL_MAP.md, and the payload/ folder with ready-made routes for aCis. Clean configuration files (without my API keys). Just run the installer over your copy of aCis, refresh Eclipse, compile, and test. ## Custom Jobs The project already has a solid and functional base for aCis 409. The ideal next steps would be to refine the farm routes by level and social behavior with long-term testing on live servers. I accept custom jobs! If you need this system adapted for another revision, exclusive modules, or any other development for your server, get in touch. Through MiaCodeWeb, I also offer complete services involving geodata optimization, advanced VPS administration (Linux), and Java backend management for L2J.
