# dll_injector_uwp

This was originally a normal [dll injector](https://github.com/kimjongbing/dll_injector) using the Windows API but it was not working on Microsoft Store applications (UWP) so I made this injector. This works on both UWP applications and normal applications. 



## Caution

Please make sure your DLL is on a hard drive with an NTFS file system. You will not be able to see the ``Security`` tab otherwise. Look at the [DLL Setup Permissions](#dll-setup-permissions) section to see how to set up the security permissions of your DLL. 



## Release

You can get the pre-compiled "Release" [here](https://github.com/kimjongbing/dll_injector_uwp/releases)



## Usage

1. **List all processes**: Run the following command to list all process IDs (PIDs).



    ```bash

    dll_injector.exe list

    ```

    This will return a list of all PIDs currently running on your system.



2. **Get PID of a running executable**: If you know the name of an executable and it's currently running, you can get its PID by running:



    ```bash

    dll_injector.exe pid 

    ```

    Replace `` with the name of the running executable. This will return the PID of the specified executable.



    Example:

    ```bash

    dll_injector.exe pid notepad.exe

    ```



3. **Inject a DLL into a process**: To inject a DLL into a process, you need the PID of the target process and the path to the DLL you want to inject. Use the following command:



    ```bash

    dll_injector.exe inject  

    ```

    Replace `` with the PID of the target process and `` with the path to the DLL you want to inject.



    Example:

    ```bash

    dll_injector.exe inject 1234 C:/path/to/your/payload.dll

    ```



## Compile Guide



1. **Clone the repository**: Run the following command in the terminal to download the source code to your local machine.



    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/kimjongbing/dll_injector_uwp

    ```



2. **Navigate to the project folder**: Change the current directory to the project's root folder by running:



    ```bash

    cd dll_injector_uwp-main

    ```



3. **Compile the project**: Build the project in release mode by running the following command in the root directory of the project.



    ```bash

    cargo build --release

    ```



4. **Navigate to the build output**: Change directory to where the built executable is located by running:



    ```bash

    cd ./target/release

    ```



5. **Run the executable**: Start the application by running `dll_injector.exe`. Upon execution, the console will display usage instructions. You can then provide the necessary arguments based on what you want to do.



This is a command-line application, so all inputs (arguments) should be passed in the command line. Run the command-line as administrator if you have any issues.



## DLL Setup Permissions

**For now you have to do this manually until I set this to be done automatically**

1.  Right-click the ``.dll`` file you want to inject.

2.  Click the ``Security`` tab.

3.  Click ``Edit`` next to ``To change permissions, click Edit:``

4.  Click ``Add`` and type ``All`` in the box called ``Enter the objects names to select (examples):``

5.  Click OK

6.  Make sure it has ``Read & execute`` and ``Read`` enabled
