ohjelmanumero

The ohjelmanumero, also known as the application number, is a unique identifier assigned to each Windows API (Application Programming Interface) module in a Microsoft Windows system. This number is used by the Windows operating system to identify and manage the individual API modules that make up the Windows API.

The ohjelmanumero is typically represented as a hexadecimal value, consisting of eight letters and two numbers. It is stored as a buffer in the Windows operating system's Process Virtual Address (VPA) and can be accessed and modified using the Windows API.

The application number is an essential component of the Windows API, as it allows the operating system to track and manage the various API modules. Each API module has its own unique application number, which enables the system to load, execute, and manage the modules independently.

The application number is also used to provide protection against both malware and binary backdoors. Any changes made to the application number of a system module can trigger a security alert, prompting the user to take action.

The use of application numbers in Windows API management has remained relatively constant over the years, with minor updates and revisions made to the technology. As a result, the application number has become an integral component of the Windows API, providing essential functionality and features to the operating system.
