Ptrace::read() only get upto 8 bytes
I have input 5 character and reads the address also converts into character i got upto to only 3 readable character.
how can i get other readable character??? Help..
I'm not sure which implementation you're referring to, but if that read() method is from Rust's io::Read trait, then it's a terrible footgun that doesn't guarantee how much it will read. Don't use it. Use read_exact() instead, which will read the amount of bytes you tell it to.
(same goes for write() which is unreliable, and write_all() that actually writes the data)
I am using nix::sys::ptrace::read(pid, addr)
Reading a certain address.
Are you sure that whatever data you want to read is at the address you passed to nix::sys::ptrace::read? nix::sys::ptrace::read does not do partial reads unlike std::io::Read::read().
Yep ptrace::read only reads 8 bytes my data is more than 8 bytes
Please show your code.
If you want to read more than 8 bytes using the ptrace interface, you have to split it into multiple 8 byte read operations.
