My first question is I have been reading many articles about Vista with dll injection, and found out that Vista has put a 'hook' on to CreateRemoteThread and can be only used under certain 'privledges'.

Now, I have attempted to run my injector as Administrator, but that didn't do any good. So I thought of using SetWindowsHookEx() dll injection method, but that method sucks balls even though I got it to work on a couple of app's. I'm wondering my Vista is so limited in dll injection compared to XP, can't they just fix XP, because it seems to be its the only good OS. Anyhow, my question is can we possibly get the CreateRemoteThread() dll injection to work, I know it's possible, not denying but what are those 'privledges' you need?

the problem is your code, not the os.

we already determined in the previous thread you made this claim that the problem was your code. post it and perhaps someone will bother to deobfuscate and fix it

I tested the same 'code' in Windows XP and it worked fine.

I've never had any trouble with DLL injection in vista... post your code

cheat engine's dll injector uses CreateRemoteThread as well
Speedhack makes use of dll injection
And speedhack works fine in vista and win7

Have you tried turning UAC off ?

Given your application the SeDebugging rights ?

Okay, i'll test it out, i'll edit this post with my results.

Hehehe

Turned off UAC, gave my injector rights, but, it fails once again.

despite your very very disgusting code, the functionality of the injector does exist. the only code in there that doesn't make me want to throw up is the acquisition of tokens which i'm pretty sure i gave you

also. good job lying before about how you allegedly fixed your injector and got it working.

in b4denial

your couts are causing your program to crash. remove them and it will inject. and if you want to use the ansi versions of the APIs then learn how to use your IDE's settings instead of what you're currently doing

and code either C or C++. don't mix bad C code with random C++ features

void main()? really?

you should write a simple function that wraps GetLastError / FormatMessage and returns the error string. makes debugging life all that much simpler.

If something is wrong with my code, could somebody explain to me why speedhack in CE won't work?

that's a separate matter. i just told you the code does not work and after i edited it, it worked. i even told you how to fix it. stop believing your OS or compiler or language is broken. it's just you and your broken code. stubbornness and ignorance are such a horrible combination

Personally I think it would be better to use WinMain on something like this so you don't have a virtually useless console laying around and use Messageboxes to display errors since they are the most common method, and obviously the console sitting around since it only appears to be doing error report work. Just my opinion though.
