US Patent 11516234 In-process correlation through class field injection

In one embodiment, a monitoring process modifies a class definition of an object of a monitored process to include an injected field. The monitoring process may then execute a first interception point of the monitored process, and sets, at the first interception point, the injected field to a given value. Upon executing a second interception point of the monitored process, the monitoring process can then read, at the second interception point, the given value in the injected field, and can use the given value at the second interception point for a corresponding correlation operation between the first interception point and the second interception point.
