In practice, it's perfectly possible to access other processes memory using public functions (it require some privileges since 10.4 intel).
But to do it you have to use the low-level mach API and that's off topic here.


And no, code injection is not used only by virus. (see http://rentzsch.com/mach_star/ )

You can't do this. Each application runs in its own protected memory.
Sometimes you can do this:

Serious: There are techniques to get acccess to another application memory under some circumstances. None of them is related to Cocoa since there is no class named NSVirus.

All,

I'm trying to get started w/viewing/editing/interacting with the memory of
another running application but I'm not where to get started. You could
think of this as being a simple "game trainer" - which basically allows you
to view and edit values in memory.


Can anyone point me to where I should get started? Function names/ examples
would be a GREAT help - I haven't had experience with hooking into another
application's memory.


Thanks!!!!
