Einleitung

Much like how a memory analysis can be done on a hard drive, memory analysis can also be done on RAM modules. Because RAM is a volatile memory source, which means as soon as it is turned off it will loose data.

However, one of the cool things that can be done with memory analysis is that a user can recreate what was happening when an issue occurred by using the Volatility application.

    • Plug in your Live Kali Linux USB into your computer and restart your PC.

    • Once your machine is finished restarting you should see Kali's Boot Loader.

    • Choose Live (forensic mode) from the list of options.

    • This will take you into the forensics mode, which contains the tools and packages needed to preform system forensic needs.

    • Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the Terminal Interface.

    • Navigate to the Volatility directory with the command: cd /usr/share/volatility

    • Search for the RAM's profile with: python vol.py imageinfo -f=<location of image file>

Abschluss

Because Volatility is a Python script, you can enter the command python vol.py -h to gain additional information.
