OpenProcess Fails

[Abin]

What would you do if ::OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, dwProcessID) fails with error code 5 (Access is denied)? Where dwProcessID is a valid process ID. Is there any way to work around this problem?

[Hamid Taebi]

OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, GetCurrentProcessId()); if you want know dwProccessId in the example MSDN you can find one program that you can see dwProccessId from another proccess

[David Crow]

I would use the OpenProcessToken()/LookupPrivilegeValue()/AdjustTokenPrivileges() trio to gain access.
