Learn how to statically control which virtual method implementation to run by generating intermediate language (IL) with the `call` instruction instead of `callvirt`.
Implement a custom `SynchronizationContext` and `TaskScheduler` to enable awaiting `async void` methods and properly handle their exceptions.
Explore how to execute raw x86 machine code stored in a byte array by changing memory page protections and using `Marshall.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer`.
Discover two techniques for method hijacking: modifying the method descriptor's function pointer or overwriting the method's machine code with a jump instruction.
Apply method hijacking to the `Process.Start` API by intercepting a constructor to run an application on a different virtual desktop, a feature not exposed by default.
Prevent application crashes from unhandled exceptions on new threads by hijacking the `Thread` constructor to wrap the original delegate in a try-catch block.
Use a vectored exception handler from the WinAPI combined with a setjmp/longjmp approach to catch a `StackOverflowException` and allow the application to continue safely.
