IMAGE_FILE_HEADER

The IMAGE_FILE_HEADER is a part of the structure of an executable or a DLL file in Windows. It contains essential information about the file, such as the type of machine it's made for (like x86 or x64), the number of sections in the file, timestamps, and other characteristics. This header helps the operating system understand how to load and run the program correctly. Think of it as a summary or a blueprint that provides key details necessary before the system executes the code contained within the file.
