About Volatility i have written a lot of tutorials, now let’s try to use this information in a real context extracting the password hashes from a windows memory dump, in 4 simple steps. 1. Identify the memory profile First, we need to identify the correct profile of the system: root@Lucille:~# volatility imageinfo -f test.elf Volatility…
With this part, we ended the series dedicated to Volatility: the last ‘episode’ is focused on file system. If you want to read the other parts, take a look to this index: Image Identification Processes and DLLs Process Memory Kernel Memory and Objects Networking Windows Registry Analyze and convert crash dumps and hibernation files Filesystem And…

This time we try to analyze the network connections, valuable material during the analysis phase. connections To view TCP connections that were active at the time of the memory acquisition, use the connections command. This walks the singly-linked list of connection structures pointed to by a non-exported symbol in the tcpip.sys module. This command is…
