*1 hook by JMP instruction insertion. The original code can be called via trampoline. Some tools don't check whether the trampoline code works well at the address different from the original and cause unexpected behaviors.
*2 hook by JMP instruction insertion. The original code can be called by manually restoring instructions temporarily.
*3 hook by JMP instruction insertion. The original code can be called by automatically restoring instructions temporarily.
*4 hook by IAT(Import Address Table)/PLT(Procedure Linkage Table) patching
