[Jorg hi]

I'm trying to make a string parser to get every string in a running process but I can't get my code to work.

well a string is just an array of bytes with a null terminator. first off you could make sure you are looking only in data sections as opposed to code sections but some programs embed them in the same section.. then i guess you can test for whether the bytes are all displayable which gives a good indication as to whether it is a string. finally if you wanna be smart you can scan for pointers to each thing you suspect to be a string. if no pointers exist it is unlikely BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE that it is not a string. i say not impossible because the programmer could simply reference something before that string then add an offset to get to the string itself.

I don't know how to use process' in vb.net and I'm not on my comp right now, how would you read memory in vb.net?
