in this context, hooks refer to the concept of redirecting control flow
from e.g. proprietary APIs to a replacement function. You could for
instance hook into the CreateFileA/W of a given process in order to
block it from opening certain files (although its impossible to
implement this securely in usermode only). For an example on how it
works see http://newgre.net/node/5 or read the detours paper available
from MS research:
