  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Microsoft Research Detours Package

    Detours is a software package for monitoring and instrumenting API calls on Windows. It is distributed in source code form.

  • If you need to hook methods in a remote process (and also inject payload), you may also consider the Detours library [1]. It has a straightforward API and its repository contains many interesting samples. One thing I was missing in the library was a function to inject code into a running process. So I wrote takedetour [2] which I use as a template for my other projects. Maybe you will find it useful as well.
