Using Deviare to Cheat on Games This simple Deviare code allows you to to see through game walls. We intercept Direct3D objects and select wireframe mode so the walls are transparent. This code injects a DLL to create an object based on the IDirect3D9 interface and hook the address of the CreateDevice COM method from […]
Note: we updated the code on August 23, 2013. The new code includes an “abort” feature, discussed in the article Instrumenting Microsoft SQL Server to Abort Dangerous Queries. Our Deviare hooking engine can be used to hook into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 RTM (11.00.2100.60) and 2014 CTP1 queries at the application level. Tools like WireShark use a […]
VTBL is an IDA script which identifies all the virtual tables found in any module of a native process. The virtual tables can be related to a COM or a C++ class. Unlike other tools, ours does not depend on a specific compiler to obtain a virtual table. This makes it an essential tool for […]
Introduction Our Application Packaging Services team wanted to measure the performance of different virtualization products. Below we use SpyStudio to compare ThinApp and Workspace Virtualization performance. Both Symantec and VMware highlight the use of application virtualization to run legacy web applications. There is a huge number of mission critical web applications that only run correctly on Internet […]
Dll injection is one of the oldest techniques used to run custom code inside a target application in Windows. It is usually used to intercept and modify normal application behavior or add new functionality. Injecting a DLL in a target process is a relatively easy task: you simply create a remote thread that calls LoadLibrary […]
The Deviare Interception Engine includes a feature that allows developers to add plugins to hooks. When a hooked API is called, it will raise the OnFunctionCalled method of all attached plugins to allow the reading and writing of parameters, and passing custom parameters to the INktSpyMgr object. Since the method is called in the context […]
More Binary Instrumentation Alternatives Deviare now has custom hooks to improve hooking performance. With custom hooks, two “OnFunctionCall” events are triggered: one in the SpyMgr process, and the other within the agent. The custom hook can send data, or custom parameters. to the SpyMgr process. The custom Deviare modules running in the agent have access […]

And now for something completely different. The AutoIt script below will make you run Google’s hurdles doodle faster than Usain Bolt: 4.9 seconds is our automation record. Can you improve it? Surely there is room for more records before the London 2012 Olympics end. We deal with AutoIt on a daily basis since we use […]
One of the top uses of our Windows Live Mail API is integrating a vendor antivirus to the Windows Live Mail desktop client. For example, Trend Micro’s Titanium Security Solutions uses it to integrate with Windows Live Mail and recognize viruses. The C# code sample below uses the nClam library to interface with an open […]
