Downloads redirect to an external website rather than GitHub itself, using injectors in online games commonly violates terms of service and can trigger anti-cheat bans.

So what is it?

This tool is a DLL injector for Windows, a program that loads external code (packaged as DLL files, which are reusable code libraries) into other running programs on your computer. The description and topics explicitly label it as a DLL injection tool and "extreme injector." DLL injection is a technique used in software development, security research, and game modding to extend or modify a running program without restarting it. In practice this tool lets you attach a code module to a running Windows process, monitor what happens, and roll back if something goes wrong. It includes a sandbox mode for testing modules before attaching them to important processes, and a guardian thread that watches for crashes or instability. The readme frames this as a developer and security research tool, but the topics ("cpp-injector," "dll-injector," "extreme-injector") and the name "Apex Injector" signal it is commonly associated with game cheating software. Downloads redirect to an external website rather than GitHub itself. It targets Windows systems only.
