Abstract:
The present invention involves systems and methods for replacement of function calls. In one embodiment, a function call is intercepted and modified to enforce a policy on a client device. The function call is intercepted by scanning code loaded for a launch of an application. The function call includes a first pointer value. The function call is modified by changing a first pointer value to a second pointer value. The second pointer value points to a customized function.
