Accessing direct memory addresses and obtaining the values in C++

Question

I was wondering if it was possible to access a direct block of memory using C/C++ and grab the value. For example:

int i = 15;
int *p = &i;
cout <<         


        

Answer 1

If you want to change the memory used by another process, one way would be to inject your code into the other process. From that point, you can do whatever you want to the other program's memory as if it were your owns.

Search around for remote thread creation or hooking. There are more than a few questions about it here (and here, for starters).
