 Virtual Memory - An invisible layer between a software and physical memory - Every process first get loaded into its virtual memory address space - Small units called “pages” are used to do mapping between physical memory and virtual memory.  Paging - Memory management scheme that stores and retrieves data from secondary storage for use in main memory - Uses same size blocks called pages - Page table is used to translate virtual addresses in physical memory addresses
 User Address Space - Allocated for user mode applications. - All processes execute in their own virtual space. - Use operating system dlls to interact with kernel  Kernel Address Space - Strictly reserved for kernel, device drivers and operating system executive. - No user mode application can directly interact with the kernel.
 Process - Executing instance of an application. - Isolated address space - PEB data structure store information about process - PEB is an user space data structure  Threads - Multiple threads share the same address space in the process. - Each process has at least a single executing thread. - TEB data structure store information about thread
An opaque data structure that store information about process in user space
TEB is a data structure that store information about thread
 API - Includes functions, classes, data structures and variables - Interface between various software components to communicate with each other. - Windows APIs are used to interact with kernel or other modules.  MSDN - Provides documentation for various API functions.  System Dlls - ntdll.dll, kernel32.dll, user32.dll, advapi32.dll, hal.dll etc
 File and Directories - CreateFile, GetSystemDirectory, ReadFile, WriteFile etc  Network - socket, send, recv, URLDownloadToFile etc  Registry - RegOpenKey, RegSetValue, RegQueryValue etc
 Processes, Threads, Synchronization using mutex, semaphore. - CreateProcess, ReadProcessMemory, WriteProcessMemory,CreateRemoteThread, CreateMutex etc  Memory - VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect ,HeapAlloc, LocalAlloc etc
Thank You !
