In process memory reading/writing

[unbekannt1]

Hello,
i am playing around with injection at the moment and just did some detours and an endscene hook. Now i want to read memory from wow. I think i just can create a pointer to an address, but i always get wrong results.
Example:

	DWORD *adresse = (DWORD*)0xCAF6D4;
	int test = (int)adresse;
	
	char buffer[512];
    wsprintfA(buffer,"%d",test);

	MessageBoxA(NULL,buffer,"asd",MB_OK);

This is the "isIndoors" address, so my MessageBox should show 1 or 0 after injecting. But i always get values like '412253423'.

Someone can show me please, how to read memory in process the right way?

You can use WhiteMagic for that.

But i want to learn something an do it on my own!

Edit: also i am not using C#

Try to dereference the pointer

int test = *(int*)addresse;

By the way, 0xCAF6D4 is decimal 13301460 for me... Probably you do dereference the pointer but had a typo.

[caytchen]

DWORD *adresse = (DWORD*)0xCAF6D4;
	int test = (int)adresse;

What the **** did you expect test to be other than 0xCAF6D4?
If it's a pointer to something, you will have to dereference it to get what its pointing to.

int MyInformationIReallyReallyNeed = *(int*)0xCAF6D4; // PUT MY ADDRESS HERE :D

You obviously need to name everything something really long or else the compiler won't compile it right, for example I used MyInformationIReallyReallyNeed.

you think you are funny?


Thx to all who gave me the information about dereferencing the pointer. Works fine now. Thank you.
