Dump Android Process Memory

So yeah, I needed a tool to observe android process memory contents, and I stumbled across this post.
Fairly decent tool, but I needed to speed up the process so I added some new features and pushed it to bitbucket.

Usage is pretty simple.

android_dump_memory <dump|show|search> <pid> <start_address> <total_bytes> [search string]


  • dump : Dump memory contents to a file. File name will be in the format ./dump_startaddress_endaddress.
  • show : Print memory contents in the console.
  • search : search for an ASCII/UNICODE string.
  • start_address, and total_bytes should start with "0x", cause sscanf expects it to be there.
Check the repository for more details.

Cheers!! :)
