Apparently it's about this code: https://www.malwaretech.com/2015/01/inline-hooking-for-progr...

This is function hooking code. It's useful when you need to change the behaviour of an application, by redirecting a function call to your own function.

Like any piece of code it has both legitimate and nefarious uses. However, function hooking is very basic stuff.

Anyone who has ever tried to learn how things work under the hood will have written function hooking code before.




What's your source on that being the code in question?


Not OP and idk but do you think Rob[0] it referencing this hooking code or something else on his Github[1]
