In this new eBook, Dan Appleman will teach you how to find these hidden functions, how to use disassembly and common sense to figure out what they do, and how to implement code that uses them (along with a straightforward explanation of the relative risks of doing so).
To demonstrate these techniques, Appleman demonstrates use of hidden functions to work with Windows role based security. In one example, you'll learn a few lines of .NET code can allow you to determine which roles (groups) an account belongs to. In another example, you'll learn how to extend a couple of .NET classes using hidden method calls and a few API calls to allow you to easily set the account and group security for a file or directory.
Whether you are interested in role based security, .NET internals, or just want the thrill of hacking into the framework, this unique eBook will prove a fascinating read.
