Rust crate neohook simplifies function hooking across languages

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Developer replaces multiple C++ hooking libraries with a single Rust crate, neohook, which supports inline hooks, trampolines, and mid-function hooks. The crate exposes a C ABI, making it usable from C, C++, and Python. The author verified the generated assembly to ensure correctness.

Meridian48 take
While neohook appears to solve a common pain point for systems programmers, its real-world reliability and performance at scale remain to be proven outside a single developer's project.
