Hi,

I have a program A which uses sets of encoded(encrypted) files. While the program is running these files will be decoded somehow (I dont know how). I tried to look for them in Memory View but I only can find chunks of each file. What steps should I follow to achieve this goal?

For something like this, looking for the file location, name, or extension is usually a helpful thing to try and locate the code that handles the decoding/decryption of the files.

Using a tool like IDA (disassembler) is usually easier to deal with this as well instead of trying to do it while the application is running with a memory scanner/debugger like Cheat Engine.
