Reading another program's memory
Author
When reading a process's memory via ReadProcessMemory(HANDLE,LPCVOID lpBaseAddress,LPVOID,DWORD,PDWORD), how am I able to know what the begining of the process's memory is? (for lpBaseAddress param when reading the process's memory) I know they are generally 0x400000, but that is not always the case and it is causing me problems.
And problem 2: how do I know how much memory the process is using? Right now I am just attempting to read a very large amount of memory and using the last param to see how much was actually read, but this is crappy because I need to alocate a huge amount of memory, just in case that much will be read, then trim it based on how much was actually read.
So, the short version of the question is:
How do I get what address a program's memory starts at and
How do I know how much memory the program is using
Thanks! .sen

You realize, right, that knowing what a program considers its base address will not allow your program to access its memory, right? That''s how virtual memory works.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

You don''t understand, I already got access to its memory, I only need to know where it starts and ends. Most programs start at 0x400000, but not all of them. I have successfully read the entire contents of one Process of Mozilla (I have not enumerated Mozilla''s individual processes and got access to all of them, but I could, my point is just that I DO have access to the memory of any process other than [system process] and system.
So, could anyone help me out? .sen

Whats your point? Its not illegal to change and read the memory in my own computer yet is it? I thought this would be fun and interesting. If I was really trying to hack or something, I'd use SoftIce, or another program.
I am also trying to learn how different compilers handle the stack, and other things like that. Now, can anyone help me out? .sen

Depends if you''re trying to code ''l33t exploits'' for an online game to look good whilst spoiling the fun for a thousand other players or not.

lol, dont accuse me of cheating on anything ^^. I am very legit, this is for fun, not so I can be a "1337 h4x0r". Cheating at online games sucks badly.
I am still looking for a way to get the size of a process, and its starting address. I found some sort of functions on msdn but they don''t seem to exist anywhere in their actuall libraries. .sen

I sense much fear in you, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side!
