Module name in the export table of a PE image

Reverse Engineering Asked on November 26, 2020

One of the fields of the PE export table is the image name, see screenshot below for an example.

This name is part of the file, even though I can rename it to any other name after it’s compiled.

My questions:

  • Why is it needed?
  • When is this name used?
  • What are the implications of this name and the file name going out of sync? Does it matter?
