  • A **"hook"** is a method **provided by the developer** a piece of software so that 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.
