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?

If you think you have discovered a "security leak" or similar flaw
with Apple software, please contact <email@hidden> with
details. Apple engineers will investigate and can work with you to
develop a responsible publication schedule if a real issue exists.
