Introduction

This is a project that uses Microsoft's Detours as a submodule with CMake.

Building

After you clone this repository, initialize the Detours submodule like this:

git submodule udpdate --init --recursive

Follow the steps in the next section and after that, you will have a solution file (*.sln) that you can open with Visual Studio.

To build from the command line, type the following from the appropriate build folder:

cmake --build . --config Release

(Replace Release with Debug or any other configuration name).

The binaries will be in the build folder under bin/[configuration_name]/.

Building for x86

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Building for x64

mkdir build64
cd build64
cmake -A x64 ..

Projects

This repository contains various projects:

simple

The simple project is a standalone console program that uses Detours.

dummy

This is a dummy project that calls the Beep API. This process, if executed alone, does nothing special. However, if we inject a Detours helper into it before starting it, it will behave differently.

dllsample

This is a Detours helper DLL. When injected into a process, it installs hooks.

runwithdll

This project leverages Detours' API DetourCreateProcessWithDll to run dummy.exe with the dllsample.dll (injected).

lib_detours

This is the Detours static library itself.

withdll

The withdll sample from the Detours' sample directory.
