## What it is
A cross-platform game hacking library for C, C++, Rust, and Python providing process and memory manipulation, function hooking/detouring, code injection, and JIT assembly/disassembly. It supports Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD on x86 and x64 architectures.

## Use cases
- hook game functions to modify behavior like disabling damage
- read and write memory of external processes
- scan process memory for byte patterns and signatures
- inject DLLs or shared libraries into running processes
- disassemble machine code to inspect instructions
- enumerate processes, modules, threads, and symbols
- resolve pointer scans and pointer maps for cheat development

## When to choose
- you need a unified API for memory hacking across Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD
- you want to write game hacks or reverse-engineering tools in C, C++, Rust, or Python
- you need both internal and external process manipulation from one library
- you require built-in hooking, signature scanning, and assembly/disassembly

## When to avoid
- you only need a disassembler without process/memory features - dedicated tools like Capstone may suffice
- you need ARM/Aarch64 support, which is untested
- your project requires a permissive license - libmem is AGPL-3.0
- you are building production software unrelated to process inspection or game modding

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, security, parser, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp, c, rust, python, cross-platform
- tags: game-hacking, memory-hacking, hooking, dll-injection, signature-scanning, disassembler, assembler, process-manipulation, detour, linux
