## What it is
InfinityHook is a Windows kernel library that hooks system calls, context switches, page faults, and DPCs by abusing ETW trace mechanics, remaining compatible with Patchguard and VBS/Hyperguard. It ships as a kernel driver sample exposing a single initialization API with a user-defined callback for intercepting and redirecting system calls.

## Use cases
- hook system calls in a Windows kernel driver
- monitor syscall activity without triggering Patchguard
- intercept and redirect kernel function pointers
- build kernel event tracing and monitoring tools
- research stealthy kernel hooking techniques
- observe context switches and page faults in the kernel

## When to choose
- you need syscall hooking on Windows 7 through Windows 10 that survives Patchguard
- you want a minimal, portable kernel hooking library with a single callback API
- you are doing kernel security research or building monitoring/anti-cheat tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a supported, licensed library for production software (no license is provided)
- you target non-Windows platforms
- you want a maintained solution guaranteed to work on the latest Windows versions
- you are not comfortable developing and loading kernel drivers

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: security, operating-systems, reverse-engineering
