Accessing ram using address

[Homer_simpson]

is anyone good at pointers in c++?!

[Catalyst]

whado you need to know

[Homer_simpson]

well ok...
this is the code that i have made

code:

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; void main() { const int& addr=0x00A88084; cout <<addr<<"\n"; } // end of main()

But, when i compile i get the address instead of the value that the address holds can u help me with that?!

[Catalyst]

is this what you are looking for?

code:

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { int number=5; int* addr=&number; cout <<*addr<<"\n"; system ("PAUSE"); return 0; } // end of main()

[Homer_simpson]

i know how the pointers work but this not exactly a pointer...
see 0x00A88084 is the address that the value is stored at in the memory... that's where i wanna access...

I think homer wants to go through his RAM stick searching for where mazer is hiding his values and change them

[Catalyst]

you could always cast it to whatever type the value is

code:

int* addr=(int*)0x00A88084; *addr=5;

[Homer_simpson]

i have already cracked mazer's program... take a look at that screen shot.. i also hacked the ammo about an hour ago... i had more than 300 missiles

[Homer_simpson]

this is what i get when i run your code =(
Cpp1.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience...

[Catalyst]

i know
its prob cuz :
1) theres notihng there
2) i messed up the code

[Homer_simpson]

i believe that u messed up the code =Þ
cuz i'm positive that there's something there

[Tony]

are you sure homer?

cuz the way I figure it... takes 2 minutes tops to unscrew computer's case, grab the ram stick and put it all back together... and it might take weeks before anyone would notice

[Homer_simpson]

heh... well i'm positive because i checked it with a memory check program... no need to open my case

[Tony]

yeah... well you would probably find out... so would I and many more users around here...

its just that me and my friend estimated that if two of us were left in computer lab for 15 minutes with 2 screwdrivers, we would get a shitload of ram for ourselves

[Homer_simpson]

heh... u must have a pretty big mother board if u wanna intsall 100s of 8 mb ram memory(our school lab's rams are 8 mb i think )



man i have done this program b4(in Turbo Pascal)... i did it when i was 10 or 12 it worked awsome... i used to make it read all my memory(i had 8mbs) and it would give me back the usefull stuff like system codes or all the thing that had been typed programs (including passwords)in fact every thing that was declared as a variable sometime... BUT I DONT REMEMBER HOW I DID IT!!!
