Process Hacker SDK

Process Hacker SDK (Software Development Kit) is dedicated to users interested in expanding Proces Hacker's functionality by creating plugins. Some of the plugins currently available for download can be seen here.

The package includes all the necessary tools for making plugins, including the header files ("include" directory, import libraries ("lib" directory), Doxygen output ("doc\oxygen" directory), and samples ("samples" directory).

To be able to build the plugins, you must have the latest edition of Windows SDK installed. Next, all you have to do is add the "include" folder to your compiler's include path, and "lib" to the library path. Plugins made with this SDK will have the DLL format and must (at least) use the existing ProcessHacker.lib and ntdll.lib libraries. To be able to access the phlib and Process Hacker application functions along with the native API, the plugin must have the <phdk.h> header file.

Once the plugin is built, you can load it by creating a "plugins" directory in the same location as Process Hacker's executable file, then enable plugin support from the settings panel (restarting the program might be necessary). Keep in mind that the plugins become operational only if the application's executable file is called ProcessHacker.exe, so this file shouldn't be renamed.
