Hi there,

I cannot seem to get WriteProcessMemory to work in this Code :

Code:

Process targetProcess = Process.GetProcessesByName(proc.ProcessName)[0];

            IntPtr procHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD | PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_OPERATION | PROCESS_VM_WRITE | PROCESS_VM_READ, false, targetProcess.Id);

            if(procHandle != null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("opened process success.\n");
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("opened process error.\n");

            }

            IntPtr loadLibraryAddr = GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("kernel32.dll"), "LoadLibraryA");

            if (loadLibraryAddr != null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("got proc address.\n");
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("get proc address error.\n");

            }

            string dllName = "test.dll";
            byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(dllName);

           

            IntPtr allocMemAddress = VirtualAllocEx(procHandle, IntPtr.Zero, (uint)((dllName.Length + 1) * Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(char))), MEM_COMMIT | MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_READWRITE);

            if (allocMemAddress != null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("alocated memory success.\n");
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("memory allocation error.\n");

            }

            IntPtr bytesWritten;

            if(WriteProcessMemory(procHandle, allocMemAddress, bytes,bytes.Length, out bytesWritten))
            {
                MessageBox.Show("write success.\n");

            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("write error.\n");
            }

            // creating a thread that will call LoadLibraryA with allocMemAddress as argument
            IntPtr thread = CreateRemoteThread(procHandle, IntPtr.Zero, 0, loadLibraryAddr, allocMemAddress, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

           
            if(thread != null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("thread created.\n");

            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("thread creation error.\n");

            }

        }



It always returns as false.

Is there something wrong with it, since this is the only part the code breaks ?

You can use Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() to get the error code that is set when any Win32 API is called to find out why it failed. It should give you a better understanding of what failed.

As is, the WriteProcessMemory call looks fine, assuming the import is correct. Your VirtualAllocEx call may have issues though since you are trying to execute on the page later on but its only set to ReadWrite. (You will probably need to adjust that to ExecuteReadWrite instead to allow the injection to fully work once you get the other part working.)

Thanks for reaching out to me so fast.
I will use the Error function ,to have a better
understanding of what is going wrong as well
as setting the Rights of VirtualAllocEx to also
Execute.

Thanks again for your help,

I will report back later,

Denis.
