The GitHub releases page states that there are no releases.github.com · read 8 Oct 2026

Extensibility

New data types can be added by implementing the Datatype interface and registering the type in MenuInstance::init().github.com · read 8 Oct 2026

External operation

It scans from outside the target binary using OpenProcess, ReadProcessMemory, and WriteProcessMemory, without injecting code or attaching a debugger.github.com · read 8 Oct 2026

How it works

It scans from outside the target binary, reads the executable file, and uses OpenProcess, ReadProcessMemory, and WriteProcessMemory on the running process.github.com · read 8 Oct 2026

Interface controls

The console interface can be controlled normally or with CTRL + NumPad using the console-menu component.github.com · read 8 Oct 2026

Known limitation

The program does not check scan-buffer allocation failures, so scans exceeding available allocatable memory can cause a segmentation fault.github.com · read 8 Oct 2026
