PolyHook 2.0 is a C++20 library for hooking functions at runtime on x86 and x64 architectures. It supports multiple hooking techniques (inline, detours, virtual table, exception-based) and integrates disassemblers like Capstone and Zydis plus AsmJit for code generation.

Use cases

• hook a C++ function at runtime on x64
• intercept Windows API calls
• build a game mod that detours engine functions
• instrument native code for research
• hook functions in a WOW64 subsystem
• redirect calls to a target address with a trampoline

When to choose

• you need low-level x86/x64 function hooking in C++
• you want multiple hooking strategies in one library
• you need cross-platform (Windows/Linux) hooking support
• you want a vcpkg-installable hooking library

When to avoid

• you only need managed/.NET or Java method hooking
• you need a high-level instrumentation framework like Frida with scripting
• your target architecture is ARM
• you want a pure-header library without dependencies
