MinHook Library
In comparison to other hooking libraries, MinHook is simpler and offers lightweight APIs, making it easier to work with.
Using the MinHook Library
Similarly to the Detours library, the Minhook library requires the static .lib file and the MinHook.h header file to be included in the Visual Studio project.
MinHook Functions
We can think of MinHook functions like we do with CRUD.
NOTE: MH_Initialize & MH_Unitialize should be called once, at the beginning of the program and at the end.
MH_Initialize - Initializes the HOOK_ENTRY structure.
MH_CreateHook - Create the hooks.
MH_EnableHook - Enables the created hooks.
MH_DisableHook - Remove the hooks.
MH_Uninitialize - Cleanup the initialized structure.
The Minhook APIs return a MH_STATUS value.MH_OK value, which is a 0, is returned if the function succeeds and a non-zero value is returned if an error occurs.
