Re: How to get imagebase after a DLL gets loaded

FWIW: Another thing that you can do _after_ the load is to call
VirtualQuery() passing it the address of some function in the DLL. That will
yield the DLL's base address among other bits of information.

This is absolutely unnecessary step, which involves a system call. What
is the point of making function calls, especially the ones that involve
user-to-kernel mode transition, at the time when you already have DLL's
base address???? Just for the fun of doing it?????

I am wondering whether I should use
MapViewofFile to get the imagebase of a DLL
after loading that module using LoadLibrary?

I see that you have already gotten a few suggestions.
