I googled a bit but can't seem to make this work.
privileges();
int pid = getPid("test.exe");
cout << "Process ID :" << pid << endl;
const char* prename;
HANDLE pHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_READ , FALSE, pid);
if (pHandle)
{
cout << "Handle Open Success" << endl;
//SIZE_T bytesRead;
if (ReadProcessMemory(pHandle, (void*)0x013831BC, &prename, strlen(prename), NULL))
{
cout << "Read Success" << endl;
cout << prename << endl;
}
else
cout << GetLastError() << endl;
}
return 0;
It prints "Read Success" but does not print the variable just blank. The address(address of a string in another process) I got is from ollydbg and verified it using a function as well.
I also wanted to replace the string using writeprocessmemory but before i get to that i needed to make sure reading is correct.
Any idea?
Your problem lies here:
const char* prename;
ReadProcessMemory(pHandle, (void*)0x013831BC, &prename, strlen(prename), NULL)
Your char pointer is not initialized and neither is the random memory it points to. When you call strlen on it, it's trying to get the length of a random memory location.
Secondly you're using the address of the pointer &prename
, that's the address of the pointer not the char array it should point to.
To fix do it like this:
char prename[100];
ReadProcessMemory(pHandle, (void*)0x013831BC, &prename, sizeof(prename), NULL)
sizeof() will return 100, so you will be reading 100 bytes of memory
