Picklock

A Picklock session: attaching to a process, scanning for a value, and writing to it

Read, write and scan the memory of a running process from any terminal.
Pure Python. It installs on a bare server as easily as on a desktop.

Python Package Pypi License Python Version Downloads


A terminal client for reading, writing and scanning process memory, on Windows, Linux and macOS.

pip install picklock
picklock

It uses PyMemoryEditor as its only dependency, so it can be used easily anywhere.

Documentation

Full documentation lives at picklock.readthedocs.io — the scan cycle, address expressions, pointer chains, scripting, platform permissions, and every command's arguments.

Use help to list Picklock's commands, and help <command> to get more details about one command.

Contributing

Pull requests, bug reports and feature ideas are very welcome. Read CONTRIBUTING.md for the development setup, test layout and the small set of platform-specific quirks to be aware of.

Every read, write, scan and pointer walk is performed by PyMemoryEditor, the cross-platform memory library Picklock is built on. If you find Picklock useful, check out that one too — it is what makes any of this work on three operating systems at once.
