# NextHooker ## Overview *NextHooker* is an open-source x86/x64 text hooker for Windows. ![How it looks](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/330538905072041994/486629608456847360/unknown.png?width=1083&height=353) 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 host (see GUI/host folder) injects vnrhook.dll (created from the vnrhook folder) into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files.<br> Host 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 the host receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI and displayed. ## Contributing All contributions are appreciated!
