Good work! I tried to hook remote process, and changed the code a little bit as following:
public FxHook(IntPtr hProcess,IntPtr source, IntPtr destination)
{
VirtualProtectEx(hProcess,source, nBytes, Protection.PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, out old);
Marshal.Copy(source, src, 0, nBytes);
dst[0] = 0xE9;
var dx = BitConverter.GetBytes((int)destination - (int)source - nBytes);
Array.Copy(dx, 0, dst, 1, nBytes - 1);
addr = source;
}
But the memory is write protected and an exception is thrown when Marshal.Copy is called in the Install() function.
Any idea?

you cant Marshal.Copy on remote process you need to use WriteProcessMemory API

Unfortunately this does not want to work in NativeAOT

The sample seems to work fine for x86 (/32 bits), but fails for x64 (/64 bits).

It would (also) be nice to have this line described - in terms of the relation of 'destination' to 'source':

var dx = BitConverter.GetBytes((int)destination - (int)source - nBytes);
