Understanding memory forensics concepts and techniques
By delving into the realm of memory forensics, investigators gain profound insights into the inner workings of a system, thereby enabling the identification of critical evidence and a thorough understanding of digital incidents.
The process of memory forensics typically involves acquiring a memory dump, which is a snapshot of the contents of a computer’s RAM, and analyzing it using specialized tools, such as Volatility or Rekall.
These tools provide the ability to examine data stored in memory, extract relevant information, and perform an in-depth analysis of various aspects of a system, such as running processes, network connections, and system information.
One of the key advantages of memory forensics is the ability to investigate an incident in real time or near real time. When combined with live system analysis, memory forensics can provide a complete picture of an incident, allowing an investigator to quickly...
