WriteProcessMemory Monitor

WriteProcessMemory Monitor is a handy tool you might want to check out if you ever suspect that your computer has a rootkit infection. You know how when things go wrong, our first thought is usually to dive into the Task Manager? That's totally normal! But here's the catch: some sneaky malware, like rootkits, can hide behind real Windows system processes. So, it's not always easy to spot them.

How It Works

This program is super lightweight and keeps you in the loop about any processes trying to write over other system tasks' memory. What makes it really cool is how it displays everything. You get a clean view of each event with details like the date and time, name, target locations, buffer length, and addresses. This info can be really helpful if you're into reverse engineering or just need to know what's going on with your PC.

Task Manager vs WriteProcessMemory Monitor

Sure, Task Manager has improved a lot over time, but let's face it—it still lacks some of the flexibility that would help you tell apart legitimate processes from hidden ones. That's where WriteProcessMemory Monitor comes in handy!

Stay Updated Even When Minimized

You'll love this feature: the app can minimize to your System Tray while still tracking those sneaky memory writes. So even if you're busy doing something else on your computer, it won't miss a beat! And don't worry; if you shut down your computer and think something might have gone wrong while you were away, you can always check back on those logs for any suspicious activity.

Keep Your Logs Organized

The app's settings are pretty straightforward—just choose where you want your reports saved. Plus, if you want a quick summary of events later on, you can easily save them as plain text files. Keeping track of what's happening on your system has never been easier!

Your Shield Against Malware

Overall, WriteProcessMemory Monitor does an awesome job of keeping tabs on both the calling process and the targeted tasks. This means it's super useful for confirming or dismissing suspicions about rootkits or other hidden malware infections.
