Hide a service with API only
Is there any way to load a windows service (or at least an application) and not be seen in service list (or app list) from task manager ? But using windows API only (I mean not driver level) ? I have searched a lot on internet, but what I have found is not working ... and to be sure, I asked here ....

Re: Hide a service with API only
It is a client request, I don't know for what is developed for. And the client is not impose me to use WinAPI only, this a question from me, because I have searched for this approach (API only) on internet, but I didn't found something reliable ...

There are ways of 'hiding' services but they are considered security issues and would (hopefully) be flagged up by any competent modern security package and disabled. IMO any request for such a provision should be treated with the utmost caution.

I would never build a threat or a virus. That is for sure.
I only intend to see if there is possible to hide it with API only.

Re: Hide a service with API only
A running hidden service/program would/should be flagged by any competent security suite.
How to bypass normal OS operation is not really suitable for these forums.
