Pandora's Box no longer works....

Anyone know of any Hex Editing apps that will allow us to edit parameters in running games on OS X?

But can I search for strings? I want to be able to search for a string for lets say my cash amount in Uplink, then change it to another higher number....

It's unlikely that any application would be able to access any other application's memory space, due to the protected memory scheme that makes things so stable. It would have to be written very close to the kernel and would have the possibility of making the whole system unstable.

Not true. See gdb.

What is GDB?

[IamBob]

GDB is a debugger.

If I were going to hack at something I would use libPatch or an APE module though - not gdb.

F-Script Anywhere is pretty cool too. I don't really know F-Script but FSA's ability to easily inspect/modify running apps keeps me using it.

GDB can only look at programs that
are running under it ( gdb progname
then type run).

But haveing said that there are profilers
that can look at a running program and
see what function/system calls they are
excuting after they have launched
