I've been trying to find the name, part number, manufacturer and some vendor for this hook socket. I'm not even 100% sure that is what it is called.
Do you have any information about it? Anything would be welcome.

According to this datasheet that I found in a google search, they're calling that a "spring pinned socket."
Unfortunately, I wasn't readily able to find anything similar by searching Google, Digi-Key, and Mouser (where I found the datasheet) for that term.

Upon re-examination of your photo, there's technically no 'socket' on your PCB, just looks like they drilled a large # of vias/thru-holes & soldered in the pins individually.
Based on that observation, I did a little more digging & think you might be able to find a suitavle replacement somewhere in these results.

\$\begingroup\$ I have a box full of those "spring pins". In our case, they were custom ordered from SAMTEC by another company, and I ended up with them when we bought out their stock. I used them as temporary connectors for similar RF boards because I could hook a logic probe to them, otherwise I just soldered the RF board to our primary board. The "spring" factor on them makes them only good for a few dozen cycles. \$\endgroup\$– b degnanCommented Mar 5, 2016 at 16:48

\$\begingroup\$ Unfortunately I couldn't find anything all that similar on the digikey link. @bdegnan, do you have a part number that I could use to continue my search? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 6, 2016 at 3:29
