If you want to see if any hooks have been set via SetWindowsHook() what's the best way to do it?

From Keyboard Spy: implementation and counter measures[^] there is a useful routine, but is it optimal?

It has the EnumModules() routine, but I was wondering if anyone has come up with a more direct method? What qualifies as an authorized module - only those you know you have loaded into the process space?

You can install a debug hook with WH_DEBUG. The debug hook routine is called before any other hook routine is called with the information about the hook to be called.
