Doing some work trying to reverse-engineer the Star Wars: Commander game.
There's a lot to go through. Talk about needle in a haystack, especially for someone inexperienced and only slightly knowledgeable on the subject.
Any anons have any insight?
Is this even the right direction to take with Ghidra?
Congrats anon

Tutorial for Basic App Reverse Programming (get the .ova in this tutorial and load it into VirtualBox, it's essentially loaded with what the tutorial goes through)

As a rule of thumb its much safer to run everything through the virtualbox, but if you want to all the above will also work/have options to work on an average Windows machine.
I'm a bit at a loss right now. Decompiled the libil2cpp.so file and its like looking at a stack of hay hoping that something jumps out at you. Either I need to get a good idea of what I'm looking for or I'm just practicing futility.
One thing I found out is that the app uses Google's Firebase Messaging Service (a cloud messenger for use across multiple platforms). May be nothing as its used in a lot of applications, but it's there. Also FaceBook reaaaaally likes to track you.
That's all I got. Need some direction, maybe some advise. SoftwareAnons help me plz.
