EasyHook is a Windows API hooking library that lets you intercept and extend unmanaged code APIs with managed (.NET) or native hook handlers. It supports 32- and 64-bit Windows targets and can inject .NET assemblies or native DLLs into running processes.

Use cases

• hook Windows API functions in a running process
• inject a .NET assembly into a native application
• intercept function calls for debugging or tracing
• extend unmanaged code with managed hook handlers
• monitor API calls in 32- and 64-bit Windows processes
• build instrumentation or anti-cheat research tools

When to choose

• you need to hook Windows APIs from managed .NET code
• you need to inject into both 32-bit and 64-bit processes
• you want a mature, MIT-licensed hooking library with COM interface support

When to avoid

• you target Linux or macOS - EasyHook is Windows-only
• you need .NET Core/.NET 5+ injection - it supports .NET Framework 3.5/4.0
• you need a cross-platform hooking solution
