I have not known VAC to ever ban for opening a handle to a process or for simply just reading game memory, but this could change at any time and may have already changed since I was last familiar with playing around with games that use VAC. You are probably safe, but just be careful and use alternative accounts where possible.
Edit: you can also write process memory to be honest and VAC doesn't care, but this is more risky.
Okay thanks! If I happen to get banned I will let you know, I'm sure users would be curious. If I don't report back, assume I didn't get banned haha.
For future googlers because I'm sure this question will rise a lot...
VAC is mostly just a signature scanner. Simply reading/writing memory and opening handles will not get you banned. You only run into problems when you copy code from sources found online that VAC has generated a signature for.
A prime example is the blackbox code for generating angles for aimbot in CSGO that has been shared around online for several years.
I'm not sure where else to ask this, but if I were to use this to READ (but NOT write) memory of a Steam online multiplayer game, would I get banned? Can VAC "know" if I'm reading a game's memory?
I am not cheating by the way.
