What is the difference between a hook and a code injection?
I would define a hook as:
A piece of code which changes the response to a certain event, without changing the original code that caused the event
How is that different than "code injection", if at all?
AFAIK, both terms are quite common in software development.

A "hook" is a method provided by the developer of a piece of software so that other developers can easily write software which modifies the behavior of that software to fit their particular requirements.
Contrasted with this, "code injection" is a technique to modify the behavior of a piece of software in an unapproved manner and in ways unintended by the original developer of the software.
