I want tutorials that will explain how windows manages memory and how an .exe file is loaded into memory

I am familiar with x86 syntax but I amn't familiar with terms like "allocation" and "deallocation" and why most programs on win xp start at address 0x000040

Any help would be appreciated /sci/

You could learn C - you can do your own memory management there.

But if you're only interested in how the Windows environment works... not sure where to start. Bump for interest.

So go read some relevant source code and find out.

Solomon & Russinovich have a pretty good chapter on this.

You don't know what allocation of memory is yet you want to know how memory management is handled inside the kernel...

What the fuck ?

Not familiar with XP. but the first few addresses are almost always reserved for ISR jump tables.

Implying any memory management commands you write in C aren't just requests for the OS to handle some shit.

Because my whole experience with asm is with cheat engine and Ollydbg
I usually pay attention to the "set" of commands that are (for instance) handle the address containing my health and NOP it or assemble it to increase my health instead

I have a little C# knowledge and learning some C++ atm
Learning C is essential?

I was mainly referring to malloc() and free(). There's still "new" in C++, I guess.

Assembly Step by Step. It's nice.
