Windows: Logon SID (S-1-5-5-x-y)
Each
session
is associated with a logon
SID
. These SIDs have the format
S-1-5-5-x-y
.
y
is randomly generated, the meaning of
x
is unkown to me.
x
and
y
are guaranteed to be unique for each session
until
Windows
is
restarted
. Then, these numbers can be recycled.

On the command line, the logon sid can be queried with
