hook_tests/README.md

+Introduction
+============
+
+This project aims to give a simple overview on how good various x64 hooking
+engines (on windows) are. I'll try to write various functions, that are hard to
+patch and then see how each hooking engine does.
+
+I'll test:
+* [EasyHook]()
+* [PolyHook]()
+
+(I'd like to test detours, but I'm not willing to pay for it. So that isn't
+tested :( )
+
+There are multiple things that make hooking difficult. Maybe you want to patch
+while the application is running -- in that case you might get race conditions,
+as the application is executing your half finished hook. Maybe the software has
+some self protection features (or other software on the system provides that,
+e.g. Trustee Rapport)
+
+Evaluating how the hooking engines stack up against that is not the goal here.
+This is just about the challenges the function to be hooked itself poses.
+
+Namely:
+* Are jumps relocated?
+* What about RIP adressing?
+* If it's a tail recurisve function, does the hooking engine handle it?
+* How good is the dissassembler, how many instructions does it know?
+
