Want to do a mid function hook or hook a game function? Learn the basics here!

bool Hook(void * toHook, void * ourFunct, int len) 
{
	if (len < 5) {
		return false;
	}

	DWORD curProtection;
	VirtualProtect(toHook, len, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &curProtection);

	memset(toHook, 0x90, len);

	DWORD relativeAddress = ((DWORD)ourFunct - (DWORD)toHook) - 5;

	*(BYTE*)toHook = 0xE9;
	*(DWORD*)((DWORD)toHook + 1) = relativeAddress;

	DWORD temp;
	VirtualProtect(toHook, len, curProtection, &temp);

	return true;
}
