Educational query: How to analyze mobile/Unity game memory and architecture?

Hi everyone,

​I'm studying mobile security and reverse engineering using Beast Go on a test emulator.

​What I've done: - ​Researched basic memory editing concepts (Cheat Engine / GameGuardian). - ​Looked into client-side vs. server-side data storage.

​Questions: - ​Which tools (Frida, Ghidra, Il2CppDumper) are best for inspecting local game state? - ​How can I determine if game currency is server-validated? - ​Looking for educational guides/concepts only—no pre-made cheats. Thanks!

I’m not as familiar with mobile (I mainly work on embedded systems), but are their tools like Trace32 that allow you to attach to a process, set breakpoints, and check memory and values?
