Zigzag

A simple x64 hooking library for Windows and Linux.

Trampolines are allocated near the hooked site and any relative instructions are patched in order to effective address is the same.

If the provided ChunkAllocator interface does not suit your needs, you can write your own implementation similar how you'd write a custom std allocator implementation.

Usage

const std = @import("std");
const zz = @import("zigzag");

fn sqr(n: u32) u64 {
    return n * n;
}

fn sqr_detour(n: u32) u64 {
    return n * n + 1;
}

pub fn main() !void {
    var pca: zz.PageChunkAllocator = .{};
    defer pca.deinit();
    const ca = pca.allocator();

    try std.testing.expect(sqr(2) == 4);

    const sqr_hook = try zz.Hook(@TypeOf(sqr)).init(ca, @constCast(&sqr), sqr_detour);
    // deinitializing a hook may fail when the page execute permission can't be removed
    defer _ = sqr_hook.deinit();

    try std.testing.expect(sqr(2) == 5);
    try std.testing.expect(sqr_hook.delegate(2) == 4);
}
