Hi, I haven't posted here before. So, nice to meet you all and hope this isn't off topic :)

I was wondering if it is possible at all for one userland application to access another application's memory space. By "userland" I mean non-kernel code... that's the correct term right? I had a program under OS 9 that could be used to do this (mostly to cheat at games :)

Yes it is possible. I am somewhat hesitant to post the code here, because I am not sure if it is a "security leak" . The snippet I have was originally intended for the 21c3 (1)

So, to the community: SHOULD one be able to do that?
