API Hooking
API Hooking is a technique in computer programming where you intercept the calls made by one program to another program’s API (Application Programming Interface) functions. An API is essentially a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications used by developers to make their own software interact with another program.
API hooking allows you to modify the behavior of one program by intercepting API calls and changing the data that is returned or altering what the program does. This can be useful for a wide range of purposes, such as debugging or customization of software.
In simpler terms, API hooking is like secretly intercepting and changing the instructions given between two programs so that you can change what one program does without the other program knowing.
