Copying all of the memory regions bytes, and comparing ?

[Slugsnack]

for the millionth time, yes. also for the millionth time, when doing the scan, don't do something which does a disk access or makes an item in a listview.. what i would do is to make a custom windows message and in the case when there is a match, do a postmessage with the address with your custom windows message. then in the handler for that you can do your disk writes or whatever. then the heavy lifting is done by the main thread and not by the scanning thread. hence your scanning will become a concurrent action along with the disk writes.

also lolwat at your code

i coded that on the spot, and thanks. I actually got it now and its freaking fast on 0 scans O_O

How is that faster?

[Flyte]

That will only make it faster if you are reading memory in another process. If you're already in the process it will make it slower (and in your case, cause the program to crash because of the gigantic memory leak).

Store results in an STL container, and then do your work on the container when scanning is complete.

@tombana

your only copying 1 char from the memory variable. i'm copying all the chars from the memory variable, and then comparing. even if it is slow, it still is faster then the original method of checking each address one by one.

you should have read my post here more carefully :

also @ the last poster in that thread who is learning by rce'ing your code. looooolllll

what i meant to reply to this thread was :
'yes this is faster than mem_cpy'ing smaller chunks at a time but it's still retarded and pointless. as i did say previously though, this is fine, since it just keeps consistency with the rest of the project'
