HookDetection_Csharp

Blog link: working on it

• Detecting if ntdll's funcitons got hook via iterating RVAs.
• So we could avoid using the functions which already hooked，or unhook them。
• Only detect functions start with "Zw" or "Nt".
• Only tested in Win10/x64, works fine.
• Steps
  1. Iterate through all the exported functions of the ntdll.dll
  2. Read the first 4 bytes of the the syscall stub and check if they start with 4c 8b d1 b8
     • If yes, the function is not hooked
     • If no, the function is most likely hooked (with a couple of exceptions mentioned in the False Positives callout).
• Although highly effective at detecting functions hooked with inline patching, this method returns a few false positives when enumerating hooked functions inside ntdll.dll, such as: False Positives

	NtGetTickCount
	NtQuerySystemTime
	NtdllDefWindowProc_A
	NtdllDefWindowProc_W
	NtdllDialogWndProc_A
	NtdllDialogWndProc_W
	ZwQuerySystemTime

The above functions are not hooked.
