Visual-Vincent/InputHelper

InputHelper is a .NET library designed to handle, simulate, and intercept mouse and keyboard input events. It provides developers with the ability to detect whether input events are injected by other processes or originate from lower integrity levels. The system supports a wide range of .NET runtimes, from legacy .NET Framework versions up to .NET 8, ensuring broad compatibility for Windows-based applications.

This entry marks the initial public release of the InputHelper library, a .NET tool for handling, simulating, and intercepting mouse and keyboard input. The release includes the solution file, source project, and documentation. It is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License, replacing any prior licensing terms. The library supports .NET Framework 3.5/4.0-4.8 and .NET Core/Desktop Runtime versions 3.1 through 8.0, with .NET 8 being the latest supported runtime version. Precompiled DLLs are available via the repository's Releases section.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The InputHelper library now exposes whether keyboard and mouse events were injected by a process rather than a physical device, and specifically if they originated from a lower integrity level process, via new Injected and InjectedAtLowerIL properties on KeyboardHookEventArgs and MouseHookEventArgs. Additionally, the assembly now includes a SupportedOSPlatform("windows") attribute for .NET 5 and newer runtimes, ensuring proper platform compatibility metadata is present.

InputHelper · high confidence

The InputHelper library now targets .NET 7 and .NET 8 in addition to existing frameworks (.NET 3.5, 4.0, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET 5/6), allowing applications to use this helper with the latest .NET versions.
