Well, quite often it is desirable to see what code and what data +actually resides in memory under some pid (/proc entries are not always +accurate). Debuggers like gdb are pretty good for examining small sections +of code or memory, but are pretty much useless for massive comparison, +sophisticated searches and such. It's good to be able to retrieve full +memory image to run it thru grep, strings, your favorite viewer or any other +tool. Quite obviously, I developed this code not because it's extremely +difficult to do it on your own, but because it is a valuable shell utility +for all kinds of deep hacking activities that simply saves you time. + +Memfetch is a convenient screenshot grabber for ssh or screen sessions, by +the way ;-) + +WWW: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/ |
