🚀 Memory Process Scanner

A high-performance Rust application for scanning process memory using advanced techniques like Aho-Corasick algorithms and parallel processing.

🧠 Technical Overview

This scanner specializes in:
1. Efficient memory region querying with WinAPI
2. Multi-phase scanning algorithm optimization
3. Parallel processing with Rayon
4. Pattern matching with Aho-Corasick automata
5. Detailed performance profiling

🚦 How It Works

Scanning Workflow

graph TD
    A[Query Memory Regions] --> B[Find Type Objects]
    B --> C[Find Class Candidates]
    C --> D[Validate Candidates]
    D --> E[Find Highest Instance]
    E --> F[Report Results]

Loading

Key Operations:

1. Memory Region Identification
   Queries all readable memory regions using WinAPI's VirtualQueryEx

2. Type Object Detection
   Scans for Python type objects by identifying self-referential pointers

3. Candidate Screening
   Fast parallel scanning using pointer comparison heuristics

4. Class Validation
   String-based verification with batch I/O optimization

5. Instance Detection
   Aho-Corasick pattern matching to locate highest memory instance

⚙️ Configuration

Edit constants in main.rs:

const _PID: u32 = 6876;         // Target Process ID
const CHUNK_SIZE: usize = 4 * 1024 * 1024;  // Memory chunk size
const MAX_STRING_LEN: usize = 256;  // Maximum string length
