IxeRam – terminal-native memory scanner and debugger for Linux

IxeRam is a terminal-native memory scanner and debugger for Linux. The software is designed to provide functionality similar to graphical memory scanning tools such as Cheat Engine, but entirely within a terminal environment, making it suitable for remote sessions and SSH workflows.

The program features a multi-threaded memory scanning engine capable of searching process memory for multiple data types including integers, floating-point values, strings, and byte patterns. Results can be refined iteratively to locate specific memory addresses. IxeRam also includes features such as pointer scanning, memory editing, watchlists for tracking values, and an interactive x86-64 disassembler for examining executable code.

Additional capabilities include live patching of running processes through assembly injection, exporting scan results to JSON, and optional tooling designed to assist reverse-engineering workflows. The project aims to provide a fast, scriptable and fully terminal-based environment for analysing and modifying process memory on Linux systems.

This is free and open source software.
