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 :)
I understand that under Darwin memory is "protected" and one
application can only use its memory space and/or shared memory (which I
have no idea about at all).
Anyway, my secondary question is: can one application access another's memory?
I am dissapointed that I have to ask this question, but I could not
find any sort of in-depth documentation of Darwin's memory management
on the Apple site or after doing a bit of Googling...
So, my main question is where can I find that sort of information?
