[Learner]

This is a blog of professional game developer to find aes key and its process.I just created new topic on it by thinking so further healthy discussion will continue in future.

There is a tool for this which does it in few seconds/minutes (depending on your PC) with like... Single click after putting exe to right location...

Not to devalue the article, but is not really needed to do the manual way.

Also, could you not "scream" in caps?... Title should be modified tbh...

What about android games,what is idealogy to do so?

I think you would have to resort to something like the linked article in that case, but you'd have to run Android app in the debugger and look into its memory and such. Unsure tbh, but would imagine something like this as there is nothing for Android like this.

Maybe you would be able to use the same key from Windows version of the game if there exists some, unsure how the AES is handled (if it is one for project or one for each build...)
