A basic memory scanner for Windows operating systems.
Can access and modify stored integer values. It can also read strings, but writing string values doesn't really work. I've tested a few other other open source string scanners, however they didn't work either so maybe the problem is on my end.
Two sources are included:
- src/memscanC is almost a 1-to-1 copy of this older youtube tutorial (has total of 8 parts)
- src/memscan is the main tool. Uses C version's concepts as baseline, but reworks the codebase by using C++ features: classes, improved data structures, reduced use of (raw) pointers etc.
No executable is provided, therefore requiring you to compile the .cpp/.hpp or .c files to create one:
- for C++: install g++ (has to support C++17 so version 8 or newer), change directory to memscan and run command
g++ -o memscan *.cpp - for C version, install gcc, change directory to memscanC then
gcc -o memscanC memscanC.c.
- After compiling, run executable file
- give 3 values to UI:
- process id: type command tasklist to display all open processes and their ids
- byte size: 1, 2, 4 8 or s for strings. Empty input means 4.
- value to search for: leave empty to search for all possible registers. For strings, empty input doesn't make sense so it searches empty string.
- after this, UI opens and explains rest of the commands
