C# Remote GetModuleHandle Implementation

C# Remote GetModuleHandle Implementation

This implementation was modified/referenced from a source I no longer remember, so the credit is not entirely mine.

To use the implementation below, you first need to make sure you have a valid handle to a process using OpenProcess . Also make sure that your handle has the necessary privilege/rights (use PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS to ensure necessary rights). After which, you simply have to call the method using RemoteGetModuleHandleA(processHandle, "moduleName.dll");

public enum DwFilterFlag : uint
{
    LIST_MODULES_DEFAULT = 0x0,    // This is the default one app would get without any flag.
    LIST_MODULES_32BIT = 0x01,   // list 32bit modules in the target process.
    LIST_MODULES_64BIT = 0x02,   // list all 64bit modules. 32bit exe will be stripped off.
    LIST_MODULES_ALL = (LIST_MODULES_32BIT | LIST_MODULES_64BIT)   // list all the modules
}
