MinesweeperHack

Hack that finishes Minesweeper on pressing '1' on the numpad. Following the Udemy-Course "Reverse Engineering: Ghidra for Beginners" by Paul Chin I reverse-engineered Minesweeper until I found the address of the void endGame(int a_won) function. After that, it was easy to write a .dll that calls this function after its injection:

void endGame(int a_won) {
  typedef void (*__stdcall EndGameFunction)(int);
  EndGameFunction endGameFunction = (EndGameFunction)(0x0100347c);
  endGameFunction(a_won);
}

I admit it's the most fragile code I've ever written. It works though 😅
