Why I can't read process memory?

[E1M1]

I am trying to read 1 bite from process memory but I fail.

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

Dim $pBuffer,$iRead = 1
$hprocess = _WinAPI_OpenProcess(0x0010, False, @AutoItPID)
_WinAPI_ReadProcessMemory($hprocess, 0x08000000, $pBuffer, 1,$iRead)
msgbox(0,0,$pBuffer)

it says in message box:

_WinAPI_ReadProcessMemory: Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.

anyone

Personally I always just use PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS parameter in OpenProcess, because it always works. Your issue is that you're not treating the $pBuffer parameter in ReadProcessMemory as an AutoIt DllStruct.

$pBuf = DllStructCreate("byte")
$iRead = 0
$hProc = _WinAPI_OpenProcess(0x1F0FFF, False, @AutoItPID) //0x1F0FFF = PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS

_WinAPI_ReadProcessMemory($hProc, 0x0800000, DllStructGetPtr($pBuf), DllStructGetSize($pBuf), $iRead)

MsgBox(0, "", DllStructGetData($pBuf, 1))

Hope it helps!

still not working

I just found it's impossible. (I used CE and found that every time $var value chenges it's address chenges too)

I just wanted to make method to read $var value from other running exe.
