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.
Open Terminal.app and type "man 2 ptrace" and all will be revealed :-)
Actually, the man-page is incomplete and doesn't tell you how to read
and write another process's memory. See the header file /usr/include/
sys/ptrace.h.
There's also some interesting info at <http://www.matasano.com/log/
1100/what-ive-been-doing-on-my-summer-vacation-or-it-has-to-work-
otherwise-gdb-wouldnt/>.
ptrace is a BSD system call rather than a Cocoa library call, so
darwin-userlevel <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo> might be a
more appropriate list for help on ptrace.
Alternatively, just use gdb.
