Memhack

Memhack is an easy-to-use and cross-platform memory hacking library that strives to be consistent and well documented.

Simple example without error checking.

// Variable that will hold the score, opaque pointer to the mh_process struct
int score = 0;
mh_process_t *process = NULL;

// Attach to the target process, sets the mh_process pointer
mh_process_attach_by_pid(&process, 28191);

// Read out the current score, add 100 and write the new value back into process memory
mh_memory_read(process, (void *) 0x0618C0DC, &score, sizeof (score));
score += 100;
mh_memory_write(process, &score, (void *) 0x0618C0DC, sizeof (score));

// Detach from the process again
mh_process_detach(process);

Features

• Easy to use, consistent and well documented library calls
• Cross-platform with Windows and Linux officially supported. Easy to add support for a new platforms because the library was designed with multi-platform support in mind
• Static and dynamic linkage available
• Written in C and therefore, most likely, callable from your favourite programming language
• Read and write from/to another processes memory

With a lot more to come...

Compilation

Windows

Under Windows Visual Studio is required to compile the code.

1. git clone https://github.com/constvoidptr/memhack.git
2. Open the project with the editor of your choice
3. Compile to a static or dynamic library using CMake

Alternatively, there are pre-built Windows binaries available.

Linux

Building for Linux is done by gcc + make.

1. git clone https://github.com/constvoidptr/memhack.git
2. Change into the project/ directory
3. Execute make to build the all target, or select another target of your choosing
