Hello,

i implemented a copy of HadFuny memory scanner and got it working wonderfully. trying to make it so i can scan for string but seem to be having a problem. Can someone please explain the concept to me?

I assume, get a string, convert it to virtual key code, and search for this keycode?

if someone already have the code and don't mind sharing, much appreciated.

just trying to make sure i am heading in the right direction while i figure out how to convert key code to string and vice versa

many thanks

Strings are just an array of characters, you would search for the bytes of the string.

For example:

There's not really a need for conversion. Just compare it like a block of memory. There exist many algorithms for that such as memcmp or you could even use strcmp. Depending on the size of your string to be compared, some algorithms could be more efficient than others.

Search for an array of bytes by converting your string into bytes and using functions like memcpy to find possible strings. Remember, strings are a basically a repsentation of bytes.
