     This project is something that really ties together everything I have learned in the last 10 to 15 years. I had heard for a long time people answering the question of "Can I inject a VB6 dll into an application or game?" They always answered with, "No, you can only inject a standard dll into an application, so you cannot inject the standard vb6 activex dll." I'm here to tell you they're wrong and always have been. Included in this project is a ActiveX DLL Injector/Loader, two demo "hack" libraries, and a target application. I decided to write the demos on a target application I wrote so as to note infringe on the copyrights of anyone else. VBHackEngine - The loader or injector for activex dlls VBTestLibrary - Library to patch the serial check VBTestLibrary2 - Library to demonstrate hooking/intercepting functions VBTarget - Application that does a serial check I have decided this will be my last venture into VB6 as I've realized that it will soon be an almost completely dead language within the next 5 years.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
  3. Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

Hi vbaddicts - You will leave VB6?
That's a bad new. What's your next language? DotNet - VB or C# ?
