native-dotnet-code-injection

Injection of managed code into non-managed Windows applications.

Injects a native bootstrap DLL into the target process by calling LoadLibrary as a remote thread and then calls the initialization method of the .NET runtime (hosting API). After that, a .NET assembly is loaded into the default application domain and executed.

Projects

• Injector: A native console application that performs the actual injection task.
• Bootstrapper: The injected native DLL that provides the runtime initialization functionality.
• CodeInject: A managed assembly written in C# that provides the code to be executed in the native application.

Test Projects

• HostingTest: A native console application that starts the .NET runtime and directly executes the CodeInject assembly code.
