ManagedInjector 💉

With ManagedInjector, you can inject .NET assemblies into other .NET processes. This allows you to run your own code under the context of that process, and gives you access to all its internal state using the .NET reflection API.

Getting started

Currently, only .NET Framework targets are supported. Mono will be supported in the near future and .NET Core/.NET will come soon after that.

For .NET Framework targets, the method to be run after injecting must be of signature static int MyMethod(string).

GUI

The GUI allows you to select a process and DLL in a graphical interface.

CLI

With the CLI application, you can inject DLLs from the comfort of the commandline, or easily script it without having to do any programming.

.NET API

With ManagedInjector.Lib, you can integrate ManagedInjector into your own applications with an easy-to-use API.

⚠ Note that ManagedInjector.Lib will not move your DLLs to a temporary location. Due to how managed injection works, the files will remain "in use" by the target process until it closes. If you are actively developing your injectable, it is recommended to move it to a temporary location first.

using HoLLy.ManagedInjector;

uint pid = 0x1234;
var process = new InjectableProcess(pid);

Debug.Assert(process.GetStatus() == ProcessStatus.Ok);
Debug.Assert(process.GetArchitecture() == ProcessArchitecture.NetFrameworkV4);

process.Inject("D:\Injectable.DLL", "Injectable.Program", "Main");
