[Discuss]API Hijack[Help]

heya, I don't think I have every asked for help, so bare with me

Has anyone worked with APIhijack or it's features, I know what it is used for (disabling normal dll's and replacing them with your own, example, replace Directdraw.dll with your own, etc)

My point is , I see it having huge potential, however I have not seen any use of it here.

So can someone who has worked with it offer me some more information (documentation is light at the moment)

Thanks

I have the source and demos if needed.
otherwise it is a easy find.

Hmm, I don't think many people use it 'cause there are alternatives to it, plus it's easier to work with your own functions rather than having to read over a bunch of undocumented stuff. Not sure if it's undocumented...

Anyways, are you working on a project that involves hi-jacking some DLL's and/or API or just doing this for learning purposes?

Yes, I am considering working on something, I was using SlimDx to work with Visual Basic , MDX is really not going anywhere any more, and in some research I came across it, So i wanted some input

Never heard of API Hijack? YOu sure a C++ programmer would use it. Any API I wanted hooked I could do rather easily, same for dll's either IAT hooking or detouring... rather simply, don't really see the need for a wrapper class or anything. Well what is API hijack?

THis it? http://www.codeproject.com/KB/DLL/apihijack.aspx

@ Why, yeah that is it, Keep in mind this is unfamiliar territory , Objective C gave me a migraine and C# is similar in design to vb, C++ , World of its own

IE:

[php]
Name->Section
[/php]

Atleast in C# I can figure it out because the base of the code is similiar, what is that?

[php]
Name->section(1,1,I think addressof,something)
[/php]

ready to give up and go back to vb.net/c# where I belong, I just have a good idea I need to work on. which if it works, I will give to the community to use.

hmmm.... perhaps say what ur trying to do and we could figure out the best approach.

I was wondering what he's up to also.

This might help you with API Hijacking.

Hmmmm, I am attempting to develop a VB Game Hacking SDK using pure vb, no form , not topmost=true, no timers, just class and modules, keyboard hooks, mouse hooks, everything you need to make a viable Game Hacking SDK and in the purest vb.net gets.

I almost have a completed Global Keyboard Hook, and , I will be finishing it up and testing soon, I should also have a Global Mouse Hook, I will have a hotkey module using virtual keys in the low level hook.
I will be adding DirectX support, console application injector (instead of GUI, this way someone can build a GUI for the console without having to modify the code) , etc. etc. Really just want to give MPGH' Visaul basic something to build decent stuff on, Everything is more then possible in Visual basic, But Direct X is something I almost never had to use, i read some game programming books back in vb5 and vb6 days (directX SDK for VB, you had to develop a sims like game in both books, this was before sims exisited[not sim city, the sims])

Most DX documentation is written in C++, so converting it my head (for the most part is easy) except for when it comes to things like

[php]
Name->Section
[/php]

If you were to see that in C++ code or documentation, what would that even be doing??

(side note, in the industry for a long time, hate feeling like a choob

)

-> is the 'pointer to member' operator, used for classes and structures.

[php]
struct Person {
int age;
char* name;
};

Person *David;
David->age = 13;
[/php]

I guess for VB, accessing members in classes is the '.' ?

Hmmm, ahhh so Pointer Reference Expressions. makes more sense now

thanks

say you have an object:
Person david;

david being a person has several methods: eat(), sleep(), talk(), etc.
to use those methods I would use the member operator:

david.eat();
david.sleep();

However say now I wanted a pointer to a Person object, this way the person could be arbitrary.

Person* person;

This is a pointer to a Person object.
To access its members we do this:

person->eat();
person->sleep();

That is the only difference.
-> is used for object pointers and . for objects.

EDIT: Also seems like a valiant effort Next. If there's anyway I can help out let me know.

@ Why, Thanks, that helps out a-lot , and yes, I already mentioned in another thread I will be giving you a buzz shortly, Some of the SDK may need some C++ work, and I am way to lazy yo begin learning another language, I don't sleep as it is, it is already 12 and I won't be asleep till 6 , same last night and same the night before, and I am up by 6:30 -7 , So thanks for offering and I will hold you to it

That's not healthy.

Keep us updated yo, this project interests me.

Yea, far from healthy, I will keep you posted, it's going to be extensive, and trying, but each step of the way I will add it to a pack, probably use a trunk- and offer pre releases and such.
