title: Hooking Protected Processes
body: <p>I know that protected process are all about protection and entirely made for blocking me doing so, but I've got a problem.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is as follows:</p>
  
  <p>I'm building a security tool that should, between other stuff, block some services from being launched/stopped etc.</p>
  
  <p>The way I've did so is to hooking "services.exe" and detouring RStartService function. It worked perfectly on windows XP SP3.</p>
  
  <p>But of course, It doesn't work on my windows 7 machine. I'm assuming the problem is the "protected processes" mechanism.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to bypass this protection? (sign my application or something?)</p>
