YSpotify

A WIP Spotify hooking application inspired by XSpotify

Installing

This project uses vcpkg to manage dependencies.

1. Clone repository
2. Install vcpkg if not already installed
3. Use vcpkg to install required dependencies (e.g. vcpkg install openssl-windows:x86-windows-static)
4. Configure build output directory (this project is customized for my setup, you may need to change it)
5. Build in Visual Studio

Using

1. Make sure YSpotifyInjector.exe (or your DLL injector of choice) and YSpotify.dll are located in the same folder as Spotify.exe
2. Start Spotify and then YSpotifyInjector (or vice versa; YSpotifyInjector will wait for Spotify.exe to launch).

Dependencies (VCPKG)

• openssl-windows:x86-windows-static

Notes

• As of now, all features are based on 1.1.25, with varying support for future Spotify versions
• I have almost no C++ coding experience. Feel free to create a PR.
• Research is my own (+ some of meik97's research)
• Tools used for research: IDA Pro, Ghidra, Cheat Engine, and Windbg
• Currently for Spotify 1.1.25, with some functionality on 1.1.26, 1.1.27, and 1.1.30
• This program does not circumvent any of Spotify's access controls, DRM, or copyright protection

Spotify Updates

Prevent Spotify from updating by performing the following commands:

rm %localappdata%\Spotify\Update

mkdir %localappdata%\Spotify\Update

icacls %localappdata%\Spotify\Update /deny "%username%":D

icacls %localappdata%\Spotify\Update /deny "%username%":R
