Nektra Launches SpyStudio: a Powerful API Monitor that can Hook any API Function of Any Module of any Application and Watch or Modify its Parameters

SpyStudio is a powerful application that simplifies code interception operations, also called "hooking" or API Monitor (http://www.nektra.com/products/spystudio/), letting the user to gain control and know what is happening in the Operating System's processes and in its applications.

(PRWEB) April 17, 2007 -- SpyStudio is based on a new hook API (http://www.nektra.com/products/deviare/) called Deviare (http://www.nektra.com/products/deviare/) that will be released soon.

SpyStudio has a big database where stores module's information and parameters of the functions. This database lets SpyStudio know all parameter types and make parameter display / change easy for the user.

SpyStudio you can also break process execution. Using parameter change feature and execution break you can modify parameters before the function is called.

This hook API (http://www.nektra.com/products/deviare/) has a unique design (http://www.nektra.com/products/deviare/design.php) that lets your application handle hooks in its own process space. You can watch what other applications are doing and watch or modify parameters.

Deviare API can be used with COM technology letting you write hook handlers using any high-level language such as VB, VB.NET, C#, C++, Delphi or Python.

On the other hand, if you need extreme performance you can create your own Agent in the address space of another process and use Deviare Hook Library to create an in-process hook.

Deviare API will evolve in order to cover all what products need in this field. This first version is far from the final evolution. SpyStudio will improve following the development of Deviare API.

Deviare API will be available to create commercial products.

This library is targeted to companies that require this deep knowledge and want to avoid the big research and development time that this technology takes.

These are examples of segments that could need Deviare API to create their products::

- Anti virus systems.

- Anti phishing systems.

- Administrative tools.

- Reverse engineering.

- Auditing software.

- Real time monitoring.

- Security software.
