钩子编程（hooking），也称作“挂钩”，是计算机程序设计术语，指通过拦截软件模块间的函数调用、消息传递、事件传递来修改或扩展操作系统、应用程序或其他软件组件的行为的各种技术。处理被拦截的函数调用、事件、消息的代码，被称为钩子（hook）。

钩子编程有多种用途，如调试、扩展功能。例如在键盘或鼠标事件到达应用程序之前拦截这些事件；拦截应用程序或其他模块的操作系统调用以监督行为、修改功能。也广泛用于benchmarking程序，如度量3D游戏的帧率。 

钩子编程也被用于恶意代码，如rootkit是各种通过假扮系统API调用输出来隐藏自身进程的可见性的工具与技术；游戏外挂是另一类例子。

方法

物理修改 
在应用程序执行之前，物理修改可执行程序，这典型通过找到函数调用入口点，修改入口点使之在函数被执行前先执行其他的代码。另一种挂钩的方法是修改可执行程序的输入表（import table）。还有一种挂钩方法是采用包装库，使得应用程序不需修改即可调用该包装库完成其功能，而在包装库中插入钩子然后再调用原有的库。

运行时修改 
操作系统与软件可提供方法，在运行时插入事件钩子。Microsoft Windows允许插入钩子以处理或修改对话框、滚动条、菜单等的系统事件、应用程序事件；插入、删除、处理或修改键盘鼠标事件。Linux允许类似的钩子通过NetFilter以处理网络事件。

如果没有上述机制或权限，也可拦截进程的库函数调用，在函数调用开始处注入代码。这可通过修改内存中的进程的或输入表（import table）实现。

示例代码

虚函数表挂钩 
C++使用虚函数，因此可在运行时直接修改虚函数表的内容来挂钩。 Window上很多软件库以COM方式提供的（如DirectX）， 所以有需求拦截COM调用的COM Hook。COM里的接口是C++虚表的形式提供的，所以COM的Hook其实就是虚表（vtable）的Hook。ATL就是用接口替代的方式来调试和记录COM接口引用计数的次数

class VirtualTable {  // example class  
 public:  
 virtual void VirtualFunction01( ticket );  
};

void VirtualTable::VirtualFunction01( ticket )  {  
  printf("VirtualFunction01 called");  
}

typedef void ( __thiscall* VirtualFunction01_t )( ticket* thisptr );  
VirtualFunction01_t g_org_VirtualFunction01;

 //our detour function  
void __fastcall hk_VirtualFunction01( ticket* thisptr, int edx )  {  
  printf("Custom function called");  
  //call the original function  
  g_org_VirtualFunction01(thisptr);  
}  
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])  {

 DWORD oldProtection;

 VirtualTable* myTable = new VirtualTable();  
 void** base = *(void***)myTable;

 VirtualProtect( &base[0], 4, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &oldProtection );  
 //save the original function  
 g_org_VirtualFunction01 = (VirtualFunction01_t)base[0];  
 //overwrite  
 base[0] = &hk_VirtualFunction01;  
 VirtualProtect( &base[0], 4, oldProtection, 0 );

 //call the virtual function (now hooked) from our class instance  
 myTable->VirtualFunction01();

 return 0;  
}

使用跳转指令的API/函数钩子拦截
下述例子使用指令，修改windows API中的MessageBoxW函数的前6个字节执行其他代码。这段代码编译为DLL文件，采用DLL注入技术让应用程序使用。微软提供了封装好的Detours库用于此目的。

内部IAT钩子 
下例展示通过修改可执行程序的输入地址表（IAT），把钩子函数替代原函数。

typedef int(__stdcall *pMessageBoxA) (HWND hWnd, LPCSTR lpText, LPCSTR lpCaption, UINT uType); //This is the 'type' of the MessageBoxA call.
pMessageBoxA RealMessageBoxA; //This will store a pointer to the original function.

void DetourIATptr(const char* function, void* newfunction, HMODULE module);

    printf("The String Sent to MessageBoxA Was : %s\n", lpText);
    return RealMessageBoxA(hWnd, lpText, lpCaption, uType); //Call the real function
}

int main(int argc, CHAR *argv[]) {
   DetourIATptr("MessageBoxA",(void*)NewMessageBoxA,0); //Hook the function
   MessageBoxA(NULL, "Just A MessageBox", "Just A MessageBox", 0); //Call the function -- this will invoke our fake hook.
   return 0;
}

void **IATfind(const char *function, HMODULE module) { //Find the IAT (Import Address Table) entry specific to the given function.
	int ip = 0;

		}
	}
	return 0;
}

void DetourIATptr(const char *function, void *newfunction, HMODULE module) {
	void **funcptr = IATfind(function, module);
	if (*funcptr == newfunction)
		 return;

	DWORD oldrights, newrights = PAGE_READWRITE;
	//Update the protection to READWRITE
	VirtualProtect(funcptr, sizeof(LPVOID), newrights, &oldrights);

	RealMessageBoxA = (pMessageBoxA)*funcptr; //Some compilers require the cast like "MinGW" not sure about MSVC
	*funcptr = newfunction;

	//Restore the old memory protection flags.
	VirtualProtect(funcptr, sizeof(LPVOID), oldrights, &newrights);
}

Windows API提供的挂钩函数
SetWinEventHook：基本没有权限问题，也就是说这个API可以Hook到高权限程序的事件，同时支持进程内(WINEVENT_INCONTEXT)和进程外(WINEVENT_OUTOFCONTEXT)2种Hook方式，可以进程外的方式Hook到64位程序的事件。
SetWindowsHookEx：64位编程情形，32位DLL没法直接注入到64位的应用程序里面， 因为地址空间完全不一样。UAC打开的情况下低权限程序没法Hook高权限程序。对于64位问题，解决方法是提供2个DLL，分别可以Hook32和64位程序。对于权限问题，通过注册系统服务，由服务进程创建工作进程。因为Windows Vista开始有了Session隔离机制，服务进程运行在Session 0，用户程序运行在Session 1, Session 2等，如果直接在服务程序里干活，我们就只能在Session 0里工作。通过创建进程，可以在DuplicateTokenEx后将Token的SessionID设置成目标Session，并且在CreateProcessAsUser时指定目标WinStation和Desktop， 这样就获得了System权限，并且也可以和当前桌面进程交互。
