I have a problem with accessing the process
This is the code

VB

Dim p As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("Wolfteam.bin")(0)
        For Each moz As System.Diagnostics.ProcessModule In p.Modules
            If moz.FileName.IndexOf("obj") <> -1 Then
                Label1.Text = moz.BaseAddress.ToString
            End If
        Next

What I have tried:

I have tried to give the application administrator privilege but gave the same error.

Solution 1

See Process.GetProcessesByName Method (System.Diagnostics) | Microsoft Docs[^] for details on how the name should be specified. You can also check it by looking in Task Manager.

The process name is correct, I checked it in the task manager and was the same.

When I try "explorer.exe" I get an error, but using just "explorer" it works. Try just the name "wolfteam" without the ".bin" extension.

I tried this but it gives an error says that [the index was outside the bounds of the array] that means that the process name is incorrect

Richard MacCutchan 28-Jul-19 14:08pm

I have tried with a number of different process names which work fine. Remove the subscript index on line one, and set p as an array. You can then check p.Count to see how many process entries are returned.

I have no idea what "wolfteam.bin" is but you should be able to see how many processes it contains in Task Manager.

The Length is one when the process name is "Wolfteam.bin"
and is zero when the process name is "Wolfteam"
It may be a special case, wolfteam is a game by the way
The problem is accessing the process and its models to modify the memory is denied.

Richard MacCutchan 29-Jul-19 10:08am

Yes, I am not sure if admin privileges are enough to modify the memory of another process. And even if you could, the chances of you being able to do anything useful are not high.

I already did that in many games and worked this way, but this game didn't allow me to access its process.

Richard MacCutchan 29-Jul-19 11:31am

Probably to protect itself from hacking.

Abduu Atef 29-Jul-19 11:32am

How it can do this, Is it possible?

Richard MacCutchan 29-Jul-19 11:42am

Sorry, no idea. I have never had any interest in hacking games.

Abduu Atef 1-Aug-19 18:09pm

I tried earlier to do that and worked successfully, but now the same method is not working and I don't think that the game trying to protect itself that way because the same method worked earlier.
