    Hi,


    I can create Threads in my own process using the CreateThread API easily.
    Now i wanted to create a remote thread, but fail to supply a handle to the desire process:

    HANDLE WINAPI CreateRemoteThread(
    __in HANDLE hProcess, <== <==
    __in LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes,
    __in SIZE_T dwStackSize,
    __in LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpStartAddress,
    __in LPVOID lpParameter,
    __in DWORD dwCreationFlags,
    __out LPDWORD lpThreadId
    );

    I tried to get a handle using OpenProcess:

    HANDLE WINAPI OpenProcess(
    __in DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
    __in BOOL bInheritHandle,
    __in DWORD dwProcessId <==
    );


    but i need a process id (PID) here.
    Now, how do i get that PID?

    I thought of the GetProcessId API:

    DWORD WINAPI GetProcessId(
    __in HANDLE Process
    );


    which requires a handle to the process...Do you see the vicious circle here? :/
