Are the command line processes seen?

[canumut]

Hi;
Let's say i wrote a console application called "summation.exe" which takes two arguments, sums them and wrote the result to the command line. Then i wrote another console application that sends the two parameters to the summation.exe. My questions are that:
- When i run the second application, can the parameters the second sent program be seen?
- When i run the second application, can the processes made by first program (summation.exe) be seen?

Shortly, is it possible to see what a console application sent to another console application on Windows OS.

If you started your application with say "summation.exe 1234 656783" then yes, it's relatively easy to see the command path used to start an application.
ProcessExplorer(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx) is a good tool that will show you a lot of detail about how a process was started and other information. (What file handles it has open, sockets, etc)

Thanks for your answer Plater. It's alright. So, as i understood, it is impossible to hide an argument sent to an executable file, isn't it? If it is possible, please tell me how.

Well you could possibly try sending it over a Socket connection, or even a Windows Message, but I think it might be possible with enough know-how and tools to be able to see that transaction happening.
