1. Good, because sooner or later, it will happen, trust me Gameloft hates cheaters.
2. Generally not a bad thing, if you get (just an example)
You get resources for killing 100 Enemies in an Achievement
Hack the resources you get to 2billion or whatever
Sell the resources and get gold that way or just keep them and use them and not have to use gold at all.
3. Shopvalues can be the easiest thing to do or the biggest pain in the a**
Impossible(-ish) if
-Encrypted and not changing (if you don't know the encryption, not impossible but extremely painful to find)
-Serversided
Easy if
-Clientsided
-Unencrypted
-Dynamic (Changing)
-Sorted in memory just like in game (union search)
Example:
200,000 Gold for 1000 Gems
1. Way, Search Gold ( you can edit that too)
Press go to
Find 1000
Edit to -value (-2,000,000,000)
Buy Item
Get 2 Billion Gold and Gems
2. Way, Search Gold and Gems in Union Search ( x;y:z x Gold y Gems z offset)
Edit Gold (200000) to 2,000,000,000
Edit Gems (1000) to -2,000,000,000
Buy Item get 2 Billion Gold and Gems
This is just an example it will not always be like this and most certainly not for your Game but you never know.

Look in the Gallery Section, Enyby posts great visual aid to GameGuardian, no Sound but that doesn't make it worse.
He covers all main topics of GameGuardian and will probably give you some advanced knowledge.
And maybe the how to hack x videos as you might pick up some workarounds for some things like encrypted values.
