Hook after Function execution

[mannujam]

Is it possible to hook an API but after its execution. Before it is returning

Can you please be more specific? Do you mean somewhere in the middle of execution?

I what he's asking is to do processing after the original API was called? If so, yes, that's easily possible. Basically your API hook callback function looks like this:

Code: Select all

int SomeApiCallback(int param)
{
  // you can do some processing here
  int result = SomeApiOriginalApi(param);
  // you can do some more processing here
  return result;
}

So when any thread calls the hooked API, it will end up in your "SomeApiCallback()" routine, and the original API will not be called at all. In your hook callback routine you can then do whatever you like. You can call the original API with the original parameters, with modified parameters, or not at all. And you can do processing before and/or after calling the original API. It's completely up to you.

Ahh ok, that's probably what he meant then I read it as

Hook after Function execution

In which case you could use a VEH hook through PAGE_GUARD tripping/resetting and single-step to play with the registers directly (modify eip/rip etc.)
