How to read other process memory?
Posted by /dev/null on September 30th, 2003


How can I read other process/app memory?

How can I get acces to it, estimate it boundaries etc? What functions
should i look at?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thnx.

Obtain a process handle and an address to look at, then use
ReadProcessMemory.

Thanks, that is exactly the function I need.

But I don't know the address to look at, so I would like to read entire
process memory to scan it for a specific data I want to find (guess
start from baseaddress 0). How could I determine how much memory given
process use?

Thnx.

VirtualQueryEx will tell you about the memory blocks owned by a
particular process.
