Features

NETBuilderInjection It has very useful features, which I will explain.

• NETBuilderInjection Works with a special Attribute called "InjectionEntryPoint" which has several Pre-Configuration options:

Name	Type	Description
CreateThread	bool	If set to true, a new thread will be created for your EntryPoint.
BuildTarget	string	In case your target plugin is not .dll, but rather .asi, then with this you easily configure the target extension. It also has the function of executable (.exe) which is explained below.
MergeLibs	bool	Match your assembly with the libraries it needs, if you get a single binary.

After the first use, NETBuilderInjection will extract important resources to use, among them is the Stub.c that would be the container of your application. That's right NetBuilderInjection is basically a C-packer for .NET that adds a native layer to your assembly.

You can edit that Stub.c and create your own packer , you can find it in the following path:

$(ProjectSolution)\packages\NETBuilderInjection.1.0.3\tools

How to Use

• Write your DLL and Build Proyect .

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)]
public class InjectionEntryPoint : Attribute
{
    public bool CreateThread { get; set; } = true;
    public string BuildTarget { get; set; } = ".dll";
    public bool MergeLibs { get; set; } = false;
    public bool ILoader { get; set; } = false;
    public string ProtectionRules { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string ILoaderProtectionRules { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string PreCompiler { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string CloneTo { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public bool BasicILoaderProtection { get; set; } = false;
}

public class dllmain
{
    [InjectionEntryPoint(MergeLibs = true, CreateThread = true, BuildTarget = ".dll")]
    public static void EntryPoint()
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Hello World", "DLL Test");
    }
}

<AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)>
Public Class InjectionEntryPoint
    Inherits Attribute

    Public Property CreateThread As Boolean = True
    Public Property BuildTarget As String = ".dll"
    Public Property MergeLibs As Boolean = False
    Public Property ILoader As Boolean = False
    Public Property ProtectionRules As String = String.Empty
    Public Property ILoaderProtectionRules As String = String.Empty
    Public Property PreCompiler As String = String.Empty
    Public Property CloneTo As String = String.Empty
    Public Property BasicILoaderProtection As Boolean = False

End Class

Public Class dllmain


    <InjectionEntryPoint(MergeLibs:=True, CreateThread:=True, BuildTarget:=".dll")>
    Public Shared Sub EntryPoint()

        MessageBox.Show("Hello World", "DLL Test")

    End Sub


End Class

• You will find your compiled assembly with the name: "xxx.exported.dll", that is the one that you can inject with any injector.

Other uses

NETBuilderInjection is not limited only to being able to generate a DLL with Injection capacity, it can also generate your executable (.exe) in addition to the ability to join your assembly and libraries in 1 only.

1. In your WinForms Project, go to Program.cs or Program.vb (By default you won't see it in your VisualBasic Project, you must add the class manually)

2. Write the following code in your Program class:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Threading;

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)]
public class InjectionEntryPoint : Attribute
{
    public bool CreateThread { get; set; } = true;
    public string BuildTarget { get; set; } = ".dll";
    public bool MergeLibs { get; set; } = false;
}

public class Program
{
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]  private static bool SetProcessDPIAware();

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true)] private static bool FreeConsole();
    
    [InjectionEntryPoint(MergeLibs = true, CreateThread = false, BuildTarget = ".exe")]
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main()
    {
        FreeConsole();

        bool Runtime = true;
        Thread t = new Thread(() =>
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

            SetProcessDPIAware();

            Application.Run(new Form1()); // Start your MainForm of your application
            Runtime = false;
        });

        t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
        t.Start();

        while ((Runtime)) { }
        Environment.Exit(0);
  }
}

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Threading

<AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)>
Public Class InjectionEntryPoint
    Inherits Attribute

    Public Property CreateThread As Boolean = True
    Public Property BuildTarget As String = ".dll"
    Public Property MergeLibs As Boolean = False
End Class

NotInheritable Class Program

    <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")>
    Private Shared Function SetProcessDPIAware() As Boolean
    End Function

    <DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError:=True, ExactSpelling:=True)>
    Private Shared Function FreeConsole() As Boolean
    End Function


    <InjectionEntryPoint(MergeLibs:=True, CreateThread:=False, BuildTarget:=".exe")>
    <STAThread>
    Friend Shared Sub Main()
        FreeConsole()

        Dim Runtime As Boolean = True
        Dim t As Thread = New Thread(Sub()
                                         Application.EnableVisualStyles()
                                         Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(False)

                                         SetProcessDPIAware()

                                         Application.Run(New Form1) ' Start your MainForm of your application
                                         Runtime = False
                                     End Sub)

        t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
        t.Start()

        Do While (Runtime) : Loop
        Environment.Exit(0)
    End Sub
End Class

This should work for WPF projects as well, with a little more work on Stub.c you could make your own native packer.

limitations

At the moment only the .NET Framework is supported, in the future .NET Core will be supported.

Although you can still edit the **Stub.c** file to load .NET Core assemblies.
