# NextHooker
## Overview
*NextHooker* is an open-source x86/x64 text hooker for Windows.
Basically, GUI text hooker based on [Stomp](http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/438331-ITHVNR-ITH-with-the-VNR-engine)'s ITHVNR.
## Downloads
Releases of NextHooker can be found [here](https://github.com/Artikash/NextHooker/releases)
Previous releases of ITHVNR can be found [here](https://github.com/mireado/ITHVNR/releases).
## Features
- Open-source
- x64 supported (x64 version only works with x64 programs)
- Hook text using /H "hook" codes (most AGTH codes supported)
- Directly read text using /R "read" codes ([Guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcEgjCoww5w))
- Auto hook many engines (including some not supported by VNR!)
- Extensions
## Extensions
See my [Example Extension project](https://github.com/Artikash/ExampleExtension) to see how to build an extension.
## Compiling
Before compiling *NextHooker*, you should get Visual Studio with CMake and ATL support, as well as Qt version 5.11<br>
You should then be able to simply open the folder in Visual Studio, and build. Run Build/NextHooker.exe
## Project Architecture
The GUI links to vnrhost.dll (created from the host folder) which injects vnrhook.dll (created from the vnrhook folder) into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files.<br>
vnrhost writes to hostPipe, vnrhook writes to hookPipe (duh?)<br>
vnrhook waits for the pipe to be connected, then injects a few instructions into any text outputting functions (e.g. TextOut, GetGlyphOutline) that cause their input to be sent through the pipe.<br>
Additional information about hooks is shared through a file view (a.k.a. section object) that is mapped to a reference to the Hook class.<br>
The text that vnrhost receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI and displayed.
## Contributing
All contributions are appreciated! Please email (no, I'm not busy!) me at akashmozumdar@gmail.com if you have any questions about the codebase; I know it's messy and undercommented.<br>
You should use the standard process of making a pull request (fork, branch, commit changes, make PR from your branch to my master).
