Code: |
List<byte[]> dumps = new List<byte[]>();
long max = (long)sys.maximumApplicationAddress;
long address = (long)sys.minimumApplicationAddress;
Natives.MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION mem;
while (address < max &&
Natives.VirtualQueryEx(Memory.Process.Handle, (IntPtr)address,
out mem, (uint)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(Natives.MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION))) != 0)
{
if (mem.Protect == Natives.AllocationProtect.PAGE_READWRITE &&
mem.State == Natives.StateEnum.MEM_COMMIT)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)mem.RegionSize];
IntPtr br;
if (Natives.ReadProcessMemory(Memory.ProcessHandle, (ulong)address,
buffer, (int)mem.RegionSize, out br) && br != IntPtr.Zero)
{
dumps.Add(buffer);
}
}
address = (long)mem.BaseAddress + (long)mem.RegionSize;
}
return dumps.ToArray(); //byte[][]

I'm trying to search for a value inside the process memory, for better performance I'm reading chunks of memory. How can I get the values inside this chunks ? |

You would need to then look through the chunks bytes to find what value(s) you are actually looking for. However, with what you showed, there is no real means for you to tell where a set of data came from to know the actual address of the data afterward when looking through it.
Two options would be:
1. Remove the List<> altogether and instead do the additional scanning step per-chunk dumped where you currently have the 'dumps.Add(buffer)'. This way you still have access to the current 'mem.BaseAddress' information and can properly determine the full address of each found match you are looking for within the dumps.
2. Change the container you are dumping to from a List<>, or change the type being stored from just a 'byte[]' to a key/value pair or similar so that you can store the 'mem.BaseAddress' with each dumped chunk to know where that chunk started from.
I would also suggest not doing things like your last line of converting the list to an array, it's extra overhead that isn't needed. Just use the List<> object as it is, or change to a different type to begin with. Converting [potentially] huge objects like that can come with a heavy overhead cost on memory and performance that isn't needed and can just be avoided altogether. Any additional operations needed to be done on the dumped chunks in that List<> can be done directly to the List<> object itself. _________________
