injects a DLL into a running process or starts a process with DLL being the very first one imported.

DLL Injector

As I wasn't able to find an equivalent project, I decided to create my own one. This project injects a DLL into a running process or starts a process with DLL being the very first one imported.

Command Line Options

• -h [ --help ] show help message
• -r [ --run ] arg starts supplied executable and injects the DLL before any other DLL is loaded or the entry point is reached
• -p [ --pid ] arg injects DLL into a running process denoted by supplied PID
• -s [ --suspend ] pause process after DLL injection. Useful for debugging
• -d [ --dll ] arg DLL to be injected

Examples

DllInjector -r testapp.exe -d dll.dll

DllInjector -p [PID of explorer.exe] -d dll.dll

Build Prerequisites

• Install the Boost library. Make sure to install it with runtime-link=static!
• Create an environment variable called BOOSTDIR and make it point to the installed Boost library.
• If necessary, copy the target installations files, so you will have a directory structure like this:
  • %BOOSTDIR%\include\boost contains all Boost header files
  • %BOOSTDIR%\lib contains all Boost library files
• In order to run the tests successfully, install the Google C++ Testing Framework.
• Compile googletest,
• Create an environment variable called GTESTDIR pointing to the googletest directory.
