Disable Task Manager with WriteProcessMemory

Disable Task Manager 1 Line Code![vb6]

 

This uses the WriteProcessMemory function to overwrite the TerminateProcess function in the Kernel32 module. Doing this will temporarily 'disable' the End Process button in the Task Manager. I tried to comment the code so it would be pretty easy to understand.

Enable/Disable Task Manager with WriteProcessMemory

Disable Task Manager 1 Line Code![vb6]

 

This function uses the WriteProcessMemory function to 'disable' the TerminateProcess function in the Kernel32 library, which is used in the Task Manager. Doing this will 'disable' the End Process button in the Task Manager, making it useless. It also can re-enable the Task Manager if it has been disabled.

I have posted my new work on pscode, heres a link:

Php is normally (GTK is the main exception) server side, so all the user gets is html. Local php might still have troubles, registry apis or writing to the real locations of the hives.
