Project52a

Purpose

I'll tell you when I figure it out. When I originally created this repository, I intended to write a project to force-improve Command Prompt. Shortly thereafter, howewver, I found clink and lost any motivation to continue the project. It's more likely that this will just be a sandbox for me to test some ideas in.

Completed

• Write a DLL injector capable of: x86->x86, x64->x64, & x64->x86
• Write the DLL's logic to use an exported function as its entry point, rather than the DllMain proc. (See complications.)
• Frankenstein as much code from different sources as possible, guaranteeing that the resulting code will be cumbersome to navigate and ugly as shit.

To-Do

• Find a purpose for this project. (Or don't)
• Implement memory cleanup for the injected code. Either pass the memory address to the Init function or set up some IPC mechanism to allow the DLL to signal our injector that cleanup can be done.
• Rewrite the x64 assembly to call Dll.Init following the LoadLibraryW call.
• x86->x64 injection maybe?
• Clean up the code and use a single naming style for functions, variables, types, etc.
• Figure out how to comfortably use Visual Studio as the project's IDE without relying on MsBuild for the building. (which has been problematic up until now)

Credits

• Used a lot of source from ansicon. Currently, the injdll64.c and the parent.c source files are directly ripped from ansicon. Whether that changes is to be seen.
