## What it is
A C++ helper library enabling 32-bit (x86) applications running under the WOW64 layer on 64-bit Windows to interact with native x64 processes. It provides memory read/write/enumeration of x64 processes and an X64Call() mechanism to invoke functions from the 64-bit NTDLL.

## Use cases
- call 64-bit NTDLL functions from a 32-bit process
- read and write memory of native x64 processes from x86 code
- access PEB, TEB, and TIB structures under WOW64
- build tools that inspect or manipulate x64 processes from a 32-bit host
- experiment with WOW64 heaven's gate transitions

## When to choose
- you need x86-to-x64 process memory access or x64 API calls on Windows
- you're building security research, debugging, or injection tooling targeting WOW64

## When to avoid
- you need a fully supported, licensed library for production software
- you target non-Windows platforms or pure 64-bit applications

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, operating-systems, windows
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: wow64, heavens-gate, x64, ntdll, memory-access, x86-x64-interop
