Hello all,
I have began to get very interested in the security of a program. Along side with that I figured it would be beneficial to me to learn how to capture a programs memory. I want to be able to take a snapshot of whats going on behind the scenes.
I know I need to work with the iostream with C++. I am taking a class in C++ now but wanna work on a side project on my own.
So would anyone have any recommendations for me as to where I should start reading?
Thank you all very much in advance for your responses.

I would take a look at the functions ReadProcessMemory/WriteProcessMemory.

Yes,
Thank you both very much. I will read more on those two links when I get to work.

Hi all,
since I want to improve my knowledge (just for myself, not related to job yet) I am thinking on speaking with my firm to install a new version of Visual Studio (from the ones available) and start on my own.
I mainly know about c++, MFC and VC6 (I'm noway a guru though, just middle level).
The versions I can get from my firm are VS .Net 2003, VS .Net 2005 and VS .Net 2008 (I am not thinking on learn c# yet, but I will somewhen). I am interested in VC++ (with or without MFC) but with C++ standards proximity in the new VS. I have already read several times that there are some important changes between versions.
So.. which one of them do you think I should choose?
Regards.

The latest available, I would say.

I completely agree with Carlo. Go with the latest one

Get 2008 or wait till March - you might be able to get 2010 then!

VS 2010 beta is still buggy and I'd recommend that you get VS 2008.

Is VS 2008 bug free?

Good point. But definitely it has *way* less bugs than VS 2010.
On a different note, I won't practically expect a "bug free" product that's relatively complex and big enough.

Bugs to worry about? or just when you do really unsual things?
BTW: I will ask my boss to get the 2008.

Visual Studio 2008 is the best of the lot. If it's already been purchased, I say go for it. FWIW, I have observed that moving a project from VC 6 to VS 2008 is harder than from VS 2008 to VS 2010. (My suggestion, once you convert the project, go through ever setting one by one. Specifically, there is a known bug where sometimes the optimization settings are lost [the trick is to change /O2 to none, save the project and then switch it back.])

Thanks for the advices, but as I told, at the moment has nothing to do with work, I just want to learn more for me. That means I don't think I'll convert any project (and if it was needed, the IT people will do it [I still am in automation]), I will start things from the beginning.
BTW... at work I can not vote, I'll click "good answer" when I got back home.
Regards.

Hi all,
I am using URLDownloadToFile with IBindStatusCallback i would like the OnProgress to show a real progress the problem is that i see in my output that one of the OnProgress statuses is BINDSTATUS_CACHEFILENAMEAVAILABLE
how to tell the interface to d/l the file everytime...i saw in MSDN that i need to set up a flag in the GetBindInfo method...but i need an example code for that
thanks in advanced

ok i've digging into it i've found out i can use URLDownloadToCacheFile and set the reserved flag to BINDF_GETNEWESTVERSION
this works, but now i have a newer problem that when URLDownloadToCacheFile returns the HRESULT says E_OUTOFMEMORY
this is the code i use
int nLen = m_sFile.GetLength()* sizeof(TCHAR);<br />
HRESULT hr = URLDownloadToCacheFile (NULL,m_sUrl,m_sFile.GetBuffer(nLen),nLen,BINDF_GETNEWESTVERSION,&c); <br />
In MSDN it states that if the result is E_OUTOFMEMORY it means that The buffer length is invalid or there was insufficient memory to complete the operation.
what am i doing wrong here?
thanks for any reply

well figured it out...
it turns out the 2nd parameter is an out parameter which contains the file that was downloaded and placed in the internet temporary files...
so now it works ok
thanks myself i guess

hi,
I attach a MFC project in vs2008, which is built by VC6.0.
But the CComBSTR variable is not visable in vs2008, always shown "CXX0017:symbol "xxx" not found".
Another MFC project built by vs2008 is OK.
Why?
|
|
|
|
|
CComBSTR is part of ATL.
Include atlbase.h
|
|
|
|
|
my MFC application (VC6)is worked well.
and this variable(CComBSTR) can be shown well by attach by vc6 and vs2003.
it just can not be shown in vs2008.
maybe other reasons.
anyway,thanks a lot!

A lot of headers has changed across VC6 and VS2008.
