NativeHook
A lightweight, source-generator-based native function hooking library for .NET. Hook Windows API functions with minimal boilerplate using C# attributes and auto-generated code.
📦 Installation
Requires project to target .NET 6.0 or later.
Install via NuGet Package Manager:
dotnet add package NativeHook
Or add the package reference directly to your .csproj file:
<PackageReference Include="NativeHook" Version="1.0.4">
<PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
<IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>
Don't forget to enable unsafe code blocks (required for pointer operations):
<PropertyGroup>
<AllowUnsafeBlocks>true</AllowUnsafeBlocks>
</PropertyGroup>
🚀 Quick Start
1. Create a Hook Method
Add the [NativeHook] attribute to a static method that matches the signature of the function you want to hook:
using NativeHook;
partial class Program
{
[NativeHook("user32.dll", "MessageBoxA")]
static unsafe int MessageBoxHook(nint hWnd, byte* lpText, byte* lpCaption, uint uType)
{
fixed (byte* pCaption = "Hooked!"u8)
fixed (byte* pMessage = "This message box has been hooked."u8)
{
// Call the original function with modified parameters
return MessageBoxA_Hook.Call(hWnd, pMessage, pCaption, uType);
}
}
}
2. Install and Use the Hook
static int Main()
{
// Call MessageBox normally (not hooked yet)
MessageBox(0, "Original Message", "Original Caption", 0);
// Install the hook
MessageBoxA_Hook.Install();
// Now all calls to MessageBoxA will go through your hook
MessageBox(0, "Original Message", "Original Caption", 0);
// ^ This will show "Hooked!" with "This message box has been hooked."
// Clean up when done
MessageBoxA_Hook.Dispose();
return 0;
}
📝 Roadmap
- Cross-Platform Support - Add support for Linux and macOS
- Function Pointer Scan - Scan and hook functions by pattern/signature
