The version of syft you are using is v0.3.0+. It does not contain syft.TorchHook as I believe I read that it is not needed there. Use pip install syft==0.2.9 to use syft.TorchHook(). Especially if you are following that Secure and Private Course from Andrew Trask, Openmined.

Note that if you are indeed following that course, a new updated course has been introduced by the Openmined team. See https://courses.openmined.org/courses/foundations-of-private-computation for more details. It is based on an updated version of syft.
