Cheat Engine

Hi and congratulations for the Cheat Engine tool! I definitely love it!

I'm writing a program which should scan through the code sections (.text) of an executable and I was wondering what could be the best way to do it.. I'm unsure how to scan through the process' memory: ReadProcessMemory is an easy-to-use function but what should I copy in the buffer? Copying each byte while searching sounds terribly expensive.. but copying the entire .text section sounds expensive too.. injecting a dll sounds tricky..

What method does CE use to scan through a process' memory? ReadProcessMemory? And if it does, does it read the entire section each time or reads just a little chunk of memory?

Use VirtualQueryEx to find the size of the module, then allocate as much memory as you need and then read all the memory.
Once all the memory has been read scan through your buffer for the aob
