Hi guys,
I'm trying to find out the addresses of the memory pages of a target
process that are used as stack and heap on Linux.
(Precisely, I would like to have the output which can be seen in
/proc/<pid>/maps for a target process)
Unfortunately, the command linux_proc_maps is not working, I always get
a segmentation fault,
although I tried different kernels as well as Linux setups (Ubuntu) -
it's just not working.
Can anyone tell me a setup (Linux & Kernel) in which the linux_proc_maps
command works?
Or give me a hint how I could figure out these addresses on another way?
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I ran apihook command in Volatility with the very fast pyvmi address space.
However, I didn't see significant performance improvement in terms of the
total runtime as it still ran for 5 mins - 6 mins.
Although I have got profiling report of apihooks by cProfile and have been
aware that __read_bytes(), the acquisittion of memory content, just
consumed a very small part, which is 7 secs, of the total 5~6 mins, and
that the overhead may be categorized in apihook algorithm, memory
acquisition as well as Python runtime, I can hardly go further in figuring
out which part of the apihook cost the most.
I attach the profiling report here, and hope anyone help analysis.
Thank you so much.

We are working volatility. Firstly we installed python, then its
dependencies i.e. pycrpto, yara, distorm Min gw. After installing all this
to our system, out volatility 2.1 software is not working, or we are not
able to use it. Need help in this regard.
We wrote a blog post today that announced our first two trainings of 2014:
http://volatility-labs.blogspot.com/2013/09/2014-malware-and-memory-forensi…
We will be in San Diego, CA in January as well as London in June. Once
we confirm our other trainings that are currently in the works we will
post them as well. At least one of these trainings will be on the east
coast.
Also, as a reminder, we still have a few spots left in our November
training in Reston, so please contact us ASAP if you would like to
attend.
Thanks,

Hi,
what's the preferred virtualization method to create memory dumps? Is it possible to acquire the guest memory without guest modifications? Linux and Windows guests are used.
Regards,
Chris
HaHa! Thanks Jesse!
Thank you for the hints - I'm just trying to get my head around walking
the VAD tree at the moment.
I'll be sure to ask you if I need some more assistance.
Hopefully down the line I'll write a mini-tutorial around this to share
with the list.

Hi all,
I'm hoping for some suggestions around how to find the answer for
myself, rather than the actual answer.
I'm experimenting with notepad to try and learn more about Windows
memory management.
Currently I'm trying to see if I can reliably locate what has been typed
into a notepad window from a memory capture taken when the notepad
window was still open.
I can prove my text is present like so:
$ python vol.py -f ~/memtest/win7.raw --profile=Win7SP1x86 pslist | grep
notepad
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.3_beta
0x84f08030 notepad.exe 292 1664 2 59
1 0 2013-08-28 20:50:36 UTC+0000
$ python vol.py -f ~/memtest/win7.raw --profile=Win7SP1x86 memdump
--dump-dir=~/memtest/ -p 292
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.3_beta
************************************************************************
Writing notepad.exe [ 292] to 292.dmp
$ strings -e l ~/memtest/292.dmp | grep "i-typed-"
i-typed-this-into-notepad
(The "-e l" switch is because notepad stores its text in 16-bit
little-endian.)
Combining the output of memdump and memmap I can see where in physical
and virtual memory my string is located.
Of course this relies on me knowing the string ahead of time.
Do I need to go down the route of disassembling/debugging notepad.exe in
order to determine how/when it writes the contents to memory?
Or is there another approach that I simply haven't though of?
Comments greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adam

Hi people,
Currently I'm trying to use Volatility to analyze a memory image that i have acquired from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus using LiME. I saw somewhere on this forum(?) that the System.map file pulled out from /proc/kallsyms is unusable due to those lines that contain "[lime]" but can be addressed by removing those lines.
I managed to built the profile and verified it against the following command:
# python vol.py --info | grep ProfileVolatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.3_beta

It's the same regardless of the volatility plugin i'm using. Any idea where i'm wrong over here? Anyway attached is zip folder that contains the System.map file as well as my module.dwarf file. Any help or advise in this area would be greatly appreciated thank you very much :)
Oh yes, do let me know if there's any other information required that might help solve this issue, i'm quite desperate over here =P
Good day,
As the title suggests I am working with a custom Android installation and I have encountered the "No suitable address space mapping found".
I have not cross-compiled lime.ko and module.ko with exactly the same compiler that I used to build the rest of my installation but I have carried out the build pointing to the same kernel directories and lime.ko can successfully be used to get a memory dump. Can this be the reason for the inconsistency?
Here is what I did:
1. I have downloaded lime from svn:

Hi guys,
I found out that version 2.3 of volatility shows an additional DTB address
value for each process in the linux_pslist command.
Can anyone tell me what this address exactly is and how it can be useful?
Thank you!

As part of some recent work, I was looking at integrating CMU's Binary Analysis Platform (BAP)[1] with the Volatility framework. The (partly hacky) result of this work can be found at:
https://bitbucket.org/carlpulley/libbap
If nothing else, it provides some idea as to what can be done with such integrations. Hopefully, it will be of interest to others within the RE/Memory forensics communities?
All the best,
Carl.

1) There are missing symbols required for plugins to run that kallsyms does
not have. I suspect you can get a partial listing of these if you run
Volatility with -dd and look for errors about symbol resolution errors.
2) It seems you built a kernel using the sources of the phone, but that it
is not actually the kernel running on the phone? If you are going to use
the System.map from the kernel then the phone needs to actually run that
kernel. Otherwise, you need the System.map from when the vendor compiled
the kernel. Did the distributed sources you use have a System.map file with
them and/or a debug kernel (vmlinux)?

Thanks again Michael.
I shall take some time to digest the links you've sent me.
I'm much happier with virtual memory now.
Thank you,

Hi Michael,
Thank you again - I really can't thank you enough for your willingness
to help!
So, I shall definitely make this my last clarifying questions... :)
Given "Any process running under 32 bit Windows versions gets a set of
virtual memory addresses going from 0 to 4 GB, no matter how much RAM is
actually installed on the computer."[1], if, as in my example, the
pagefile has been disabled, "where" is this virtual memory being stored?
Or is it that if the pagefile.sys is turned off, it can only commit to
512MB, so after 512MB of allocation the system will basically fall over?
The virtual 4GB becomes irrelevant and unobtainable?

Have you sent me your PGP Public Key yet?
Michael,
Thanks again - that really helps, and makes sense!
For clarity, given this is a Win7SP1x86 machine where I have disabled
PAE and disabled pagefile, is it correct to conclude that ALL of the
memory that this process is using is in the capture? (I gave it 512MB
RAM and captured all the RAM.)

Have you sent me your PGP Public Key yet?
Hi all,
Hoping for some more newbie assistance!
I have a sample from Win7SP1x86.
When I took the capture I had notepad.exe running.
Using pslist(1) I identified the pid and used this with memmap(2).
(1) python vol.py -f win7.raw --profile=Win7SP1x86 pslist
(2) python vol.py -f win7.raw --profile=Win7SP1x86 memmap -p 1260
So really two questions:
1> Why does the first entry show a virtual offset of 0x00010000? Why
isn't it 0x00000000? Where are the first 0x00010000 bytes of this
process's virtual memory?
2> (and I know this is gonna be a face palm moment) Why aren't the
virtual memory offsets contiguous? If this is a dump of the process's
virtual memory shouldn't it be one big lump of 4GB? What's the obvious
thing I'm missing? (Is it simply that notepad.exe isn't using all 4GB so
the empty pages have been ignored?)
Thank you!

Hi all,
I'm definitely still learning with memory forensics, but I can't get my
head around this one.
I created a Virtualbox VM of Win7SP1x86 with 512MB RAM.
I disabled the pagefile - confirmed with reboot that pagefile.sys
disappeared.
I disabled pae - confirmed with reboot followed by: wcim os get
PAEEnabled, returned FALSE.
I then used:
vboxmanage debugvm "Win7" dumpguestcore --filename test.elf
to grab the ELF64 dump.
This file is: 569.5MB
I then used:
python vol.py -f test.elf --profile=Win7SP1x86 imagecopy -O test.raw
test.raw is: 4.0GB
Given that pae is off and pagefile.sys is off, where has the extra data
come from?!
I get that in 32-bit, we can represent up to 0xFFFFFFFF (2^32) = 4GB,
but where has the extra data come from?
Is it all going to be 0-padded or have I done something wrong somewhere?!
Any clues, tips, links to read, and flames welcome.

Hi All,
Currently, I am using Volatility to analyze a lime dump of an Android device and I have the same error message as the post of the no suitable address space mapping found (http://lists.volatilityfoundation.org/pipermail/vol-users/2013-July/000942.…)
I have followed the steps as indicated in the Volatility Android memory forensic instructions (https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/AndroidMemoryForensics) and listed them below the dotted line in this mail.
However, the error No suitable address space mapping found is showing.
Anybody have any idea what is going / I am doing wrong ? (please see the steps I have performed below)

Hey all,
A while ago I did some experiments with finding the swap_info_structs
for linux swap files/devices.
Since I don't have time to finish any work on that (this was the easy
part) I've uploaded it to my github:
https://github.com/Dutchy-/volatility-plugins/blob/master/linux/swap.py
Do with it as you wish :D note that a proper swap implementation would
likely need modification in volatility itself, not just a plugin.
Cheers,
Edwin
PS. I've also added all the plugins from my submission to the plugin contest.
This post is not specifically about Volatility; however, I know that the
topic will be of interest to many list members. Reliable memory
analysis depends on reliable memory acquisition. No matter how good an
analysis tool is, it can only analyze what is in the memory "dump." If
the memory acquisition tool produces an incomplete or erroneous memory
dump the analysis will also fail or be misleading. It is thus with
pleasure that I note the progress that is being made toward developing a
critical framework for evaluating and testing memory acquisition tools.
The latest contribution is by Stefan Vömel and Johannes Stüttgen whose
paper, "An evaluation platform for forensic memory acquisition software"
was presented at the recent DFRWS conference and may be downloaded from
the following link:
http://www.dfrws.org/2013/proceedings/DFRWS2013-11.pdf.
The authors adopt an approach which they call "white-box testing"
whereby the authors modify the source code for various open source tools
(win32dd, mdd, winpmem) to insert hypercalls at various locations in the
acquisition process. The hypercalls inform the test platform of various
important system events and operations and inspect the state of the
subject system at the moment of the hypercall. The state as recorded by
the hypercalls is then used as a metric to evaluate the reliability
(i.e. "correctness") of the tool which is under test.
The approach has a number of significant limitations which the authors
acknowledge, the most significant of which is that they require the
source code which must be modified in order to perform the test. Most
commercial tool vendors do not provide the source code to their memory
acquisition tools. Even one of the open source tools tested by Vömel
and Stüttgen, win32dd, is an old version of the current closed-source
Moonsols tool which contains many bug fixes which are not in the open
source precursor. As far as I am aware the MDD tool is no longer
supported or under active development. Michael Cohen's winpmem is the
only currently supported tool that the authors were able to test.
Another significant limitation is that the test platform is tied to a
highly customized version of the Bochs x86 PC emulator. The test
platform is restricted to 32-bit versions of Windows with not more than
2 GiB of memory. The acquisition of physical memory from systems
equipped with more than 4 GiB of memory and from 64-bit versions of
Microsoft Windows are areas where memory acquisition tool vendors have
stumbled in the past. Possibly all contemporary memory acquisition
tools handle 64-bit systems and systems with more than 4 GiB of memory
correctly; however, we would like to be able to test this and not rely
solely on faith.
One limitation which the authors do not discuss is the impact of
restricting the test platform to a particular VM (i.e. Bochs). In our
experience VMs provide a much more highly predictable and stable
environment than real hardware and may not be a good indication of how a
memory acquisition tool will perform on real hardware. In addition, as
was mentioned previously on this list, different VM manufacturers have
chosen to emulate very different PC designs. How a tool performs on
VMWare may not be a good indicator of how the same tool will perform on
Microsoft Hyper-V or VirtualBox or KVM.
Also, the authors do not acknowledge the possibility that memory
acquisition tools may perform differently on different versions of the
Microsoft operating system. Each new version of the Microsoft operating
system has brought changes to the Windows memory manager, in some cases
significant changes. Currently, we are (out of necessity) using
acquisition methods that differ in varying degrees on Microsoft Windows
XP, Windows 2003 SP1 and later, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
For Windows 8.1 Preview we have found it necessary to invent new
methods that are different from all of the methods which we previously
employed.
Finally, the authors do not articulate the theoretical framework for
forensic volatile memory acquisition which serves as the basis for their
notion of "correctness." Historically, computer forensic experts have
evaluated the acquisition of volatile memory as an "imaging" process.
Most computer forensic experts were familiar with the imaging of "dead"
hard drives. It was natural to assume memory acquisition was doing much
the same thing. The problem is that a running computer system is by
nature a stochastic process (more precisely, it is a "continuous time
stochastic process") which cannot be "imaged." It can only be sampled.
Sampling is a common technique in forensic science, other than in
computer forensics. Computer forensics is somewhat unique among
forensic "sciences" in its almost exclusive reliance upon "imaging" as a
standard of reliability. It is difficult not to note the severe tension
which exists between this theoretic framework and the reality of modern
computer design. Not only is "live" imaging of hard drives now
commonplace for practical reasons (which equally aren't true images) but
also, as we now know, a hard drive is an embedded computer system which
may alter the physical layout of data on the disks any time power is
applied to the drive.
The theoretical approach which we have advocated (see, e.g. Garner, Maut
Design Document (unpublished manuscript, 2011), is to view volatile
memory acquisition as a process of sampling the state of a
continuous-time stochastic process. We further propose to use the
structural elements created by the operating system and the hardware as
a metric to evaluate the reliability of the sampling process. We
believe that these structural elements may be used for this purpose
because they possess the Markhov property. Their future state is
predictable, depending entirely on their present state and is
conditionally independent of the past. A sample is said to be reliable
when it is "representative" of the entire population. In other words, a
sample is reliable with respect to a specific issue of material fact if
an inference drawn upon the basis of the sample will arrive at the same
conclusion as if the inference were drawn upon the basis of the entire
population.
The authors appear to assume the tradition "imaging" framework for
volatile computer memory acquisition, however, this assumption should be
stated since the entire rest of the paper depends on it.
In conclusion, this paper makes an important contribution to a topic
that is important for the future of computer forensics. However, the
authors need to better articulate their assumptions. Development of a
professional memory forensic tool testing platform will require the
development of a test enviroment which overcomes the current limitations.

Hi all,
I wrote a little tool to convert a KVM/libvirt dump to a raw memory
file (https://github.com/juergh/lqs2mem) Volatility seems to be able
to handle the resulting file just fine for small dumps but not so much
the larger they get. Specifically, things start to break when the
memory size of the VM approaches 4 GB. I double and triple checked my
code and can't find anything obviously wrong (like using a 32bit
variable for a 64bit address or pointer). I also don't think that
Volatility has a problem with larger dumps since it can handle a 8 GB
memory dump that I obtained using some other means. I'm just running
out of ideas and am looking for some help or suggestions on how to
debug this further.
In my testing with Win 2008 R2 SP1 x64 I found that (see full outputs below):
1) imageinfo and pslist return the correct output for VMs with less than 3588 MB
2) pslist only returns a single task (System) for VMs larger than 3587 MB
3) imageinfo shows only 1 processor (when there are actually two) for
VMs larger than 3712 MB (give or take)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
...Juerg

vol-users,
During last year's OMFW, I gave a presentation on a new Volatility plugin
called dumpfiles[1]. This plugin automates the process of extracting both
memory mapped and cached files. While we have distributed early versions
of the plugin in the Volatility training classes, we are in the final
stages of testing for its inclusion in the upcoming 2.3 release. If you
have some cycles and interest in helping us test, please send me a note
off-list.
Thanks,
AW
PS: Special thanks to Ikelos, MHL, Gleeda, attc, and Carl Pulley for their
help with earlier versions!
[1] http://volatility-labs.blogspot.com/2012/10/movp-44-cache-rules-everything-…
We are writing to announce that our upcoming Amsterdam class is
completely sold out and that our next public training will be in
Reston, VA in November. We have a blog post on the Reston training
here:
http://volatility-labs.blogspot.com/2013/06/memory-forensics-training-resto…
This will be our last public training of 2013 and we are actively
planning 2014 trainings. These will be announced when they are ready.
Our last Reston class sold out a full month in advance so please
contact us ASAP if you would like to attend.
Volatility Community,
If you are planning to attend the Open Memory Forensics Workshop 2013, I
would suggest registering soon. We only have a limited number of seats
remaining:

Juerg,
*Or are you saying that I need to shift everything resulting in a file that
is bigger than the actual physical RAM size of the VM?*
Yes. Physical address space is always bigger than physical RAM because it
contains device memory (
http://blogs.technet.com/blogfiles/markrussinovich/WindowsLiveWriter/Pushin…
).
*In my testing with Win 2008 R2 SP1 x64 I found that (see full outputs
below):*
*1) imageinfo and pslist return the correct output for VMs with less than
3588 MB
2) pslist only returns a single task (System) for VMs larger than 3587 MB*
I think important structure used by pslist are usually map over 0x100000000
on Windows 7/2008 with more that 3.5GB (approximately, depending on the
hardware installed).
During my (limited) tests, I was not able to run pslist on those OS without
the proper padding of my vmem files:

Hi All
Apologies if this has been addressed already but can't find it in the
archives. Is volatility able to verify image signatures similar to how
process monitor can? Suspect the answer is no as it's not a live system and
may not be running under windows. None of the plugins seem to be able to do
this from what I can see, just want to check I'm not missing something.
Cheers
Ben
Hi all,
I'v have a memory dump has an evidence for a case.
Volatility can help me to discover "Alternate data stream" file on the system?
Thanks for your help!
Hey all,
Has anyone already made profiles for the memory dumps at
http://secondlookforensics.com/linux-memory-images/ ? I'm interested
in both the new ones (june 2013) and the old ones.
I know how to make profiles, but you'd save me quite a lot of time if
you already have some <3
Cheers,
Edwin
Hello,
As part of an assignment for a security and privacy class I am taking I need to determine the ip address of a windowsXP system whose memory dump I have. Actually, it is the zeus.vmem dump from the volatility dump images download page.
I have done a lot of searching in google, but haven't been able to find much about hwo to get this information.
I tried the technique outlined at:
http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/CommandReference
in the area concerning strings.
When I use the perl script provided the only obvious ip address is 172.16.176.143 which is a private network address. My assignment is to determine the country of origin of the ip address, but so far I see no addresses which are not private addresses.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed with finding the system's ip address?

Is there a Linux profile for RedHat for the latest version of volatility?
I am attempting to run pslist against a VM running Redhat. However, I am
having no luck. I used imagecopy to convert a .vmss and a .vmsn file to a
memory dump file. Neither file works with pslist. I used the CentOS
profile and the results are below. If I don't specify a profile, you don't
see the "invalid pde_value" lines. Any ideas?

We are excited to announce that the registration for the 4th annual OMFW
is officially open. The workshop will be held on November 4, 2013 and will
coincide with the Open Source Digital Forensics Conference. OMFW is the
single most important event for those who are interested in pushing the
state of the art of digital forensics and incident response. If you are
interested in getting involved or have an exciting memory related topic
that you would like to share with the digital forensics community, please
let the team know. For those interested in attending, please see the
official website for details:
https://www.volatilityfoundation.org/default/omfw
Due to the overwhelming response in previous year, we were not able to
fulfill all the registration requests, so please be sure to register
early! Check out what previous attendees of OMFW have said:
"The OMFW was well mind blowing for the most part. The amount of
knowledge the Volatility guys (and girl) have is insane."
Glenn P. Edwards Jr.
"For the last four years the Open Source Memory Forensics Workshop
(OMFW) has hosted a collective whos who of memory forensics and provided
a forum in which to discuss the latest advances and tools."
Mike Webber
"AAron was able to bring together an outstanding group of folks
interested in memory forensics" and there was some spirited discussion
among the participants along with some really outstanding talks/demos. It
was also great to be able to put faces to folks who until then had only
been handles in IRC or names on e-mail/blog posts in the past."
Jim Clausing
"My first impression of the event was that the underground could have
set digital forensics back 3-5 years if they had attacked our small
conference room. Where else do you have Eoghan Casey, Brian Carrier,
Harlan Carvey, Michael Cohen, Brendan Dolan-Gavitt, George Garner Jr.,
Andreas Schuster, Aaron Walters, et al, in the same room? I thought Brian
Dykstra framed the situation properly when asking the following: I know
this is an easy question for all you beautiful minds, but""
Richard Bejtlich
REMINDER: If you are planning to submit to the Volatility Framework Plugin
Contest, please make sure your entry is submitted before August 1, 2013.
It is a great platform for getting visibility and other people interested
in your exciting memory analysis projects.

Hi all,
I am having a problem reading certain values in an address space. I
know for certain that the range I am trying to read is mapped, i.e.
there is a vma for it.
The specific range in this case is shown in the vma list as this:
1206 0x00007faf9d98f000 0x00007faf9db4d000 r-x 0x0
8 1 241 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.17.so
The offset in this range that I am trying to read is 0x21e9b = 0x7faf9d9b0e9b
the call may look like this: proc_as.read(0x7faf9d9b0e9b, 10)
and it will return None, meaning it could not read that address.
Using the linux_dump_map I exported the whole range and there's a
pretty big empty (inaccessible) chunk in the middle, which appears as
0-bytes in the export. I know for a fact that my libc does not have a
big area of 0-bytes, so this is pretty weird. It also works just fine
for other processes in the same dump (so using the same libc).
For research purposes I make my memory dumps with virtualbox, so I
don't think it's an issue with memory corruption; as far as i can
tell, virtualbox makes complete snapshots.
Does anyone know what might cause this problem?
Cheers,
Edwin
Dear Everyone:
I have a problem about analysing an android memory these days.
I am new to android memory forensic,and i analyse the windows memory before.But i think analysing an android memory may more interesting and valuable.
I have followed the url "https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/AndroidMemoryForensics#Build_a_Vo…" ,and i have done successfully.
Now, by useing lime i can get my android memory, my android is samsung9001, and the memory file is ram.lime (almost 400M size).
But the problem is that: when i use volatility2.3_beta to analyse the android memory , volatility can't identify the profle that i created.
The output is below：

Search the problem by google and i find some others have the same problem,but i can't find the solution. By the way, i know few people submit the problem last September and a week ago, and i know volatility can't support many Linux/android profile now, but i have create the profile for my android and just volatility can't identify:-(
I do these things under the ubuntu10.04 on the vmware, and i don't download the newest dwarfdump, i just use " apt-get install dwarfdump" on the ubuntu10.04, and i am sure the CC_PATH and some PATH Variable is true. I may think the dwarf execute file is wrong.
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my english. The attachment are my profile zip and dwarfdump execute file.
Hope to get your apply soon ^_^( I may be mad for the problem)

Dear everyone:
I have a problem about analysing an android memory these days.
I am new to android memory forensic,and i analyse the windows
memory before.But i think analysing an android memory may more interesting
and valuable.
I have followed the url "https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/
AndroidMemoryForensics#Build_a_Volatility_Profile" ,and i have done
successfully.
Now, by useing lime i can get my android memory, my android is
samsung9001, and the memory file is ram.lime (almost 400M size).
But the problem is that: when i use volatility2.3_beta to analyse
the android memory , volatility can't identify the profle that i created.
The output is below：

Maybe a stupid question here but does Volatility currently support the
analysis of linux memory from a Virtual Machine?
I see that it supports VM's and Linux separately but not together?
Thanks in advance

After quickly selling out our recent course in Reston, we have now
scheduled another training there in November:
http://volatility-labs.blogspot.com/2013/06/memory-forensics-training-resto…
This course is taught directly by Volatility developers, and provides
intense training in memory forensics for incident response, malware
analysis, and digital forensic investigation.
We already have quite a few people signed up and had to turn away
people last time, so please contact us ASAP if you are interested in
taking it.
Thanks,

This post is off-topic; however, there are a lot of bright people on
this list so maybe someone will be able to help. I need to set a static
ipv4 address on an interface in WinPE4.0/WinFE4.0. For example the
following command works on Windows 8:
netsh.exe interface ip set address Ethernet static 192.168.0.5
255.255.255.0
On WinPE 4.0 I am getting an error that the interface is not found which
is odd since the interface appears in the list of interfaces. For example:
netsh.exe interface ip show interfaces
and
netsh.exe interface ip show interface Ethernet
both work as expected.
I can also add a route on the interface in WinPE, e.g.:
netsh.exe interface ip add route 192.168.0.0/24 Ethernet
works. It is just adding the static ip address that doesn't work. I
have also tried using the IF index instead of the interface name; still
no joy. Unfortunately I can't use dhcp in some applications because the
client broadcasts an announcement that I am present, which wouldn't be
prudent.
I am wondering if there isn't maybe some dependency that is missing from
my winpe installation?
Anyone have any thoughts?
Regards,
George.
Hi all,
I'm currently attempting to code up a bitmap (within an overlay) that consists of an array of 4 ulongs.
With (say) a single ulong, the following works great:
profile.merge_overlay({
'XXX': [ None, ['Flags', {'target': 'unsigned long', 'bitmap': { 'A': 0, 'B': 1, 'C': 2 }}]]
})
However, the obvious generalisation to 4 ulongs:
profile.merge_overlay({
'XXX': [ None, ['Flags', {'target': ['array', 4, ['unsigned long']], 'bitmap': { 'A': 0, 'B': 1, 'C': 2 }}]]
})
fails. Looking at the source, the profile.merge_overlay calls:
obj.Object(['array', 4, ['unsigned long']], offset=0, ..)
and this function in turn raises an exception (i.e. TypeError: unhashable type: 'list') when it calls:
vm.profile.has_type(['array', 4, ['unsigned long']])
Attempts at using obj.Array instead also flounder.
Does anyone have any hints or tips as to how best to deal with bitmaps that are arrays of bytes, ulongs or similar? Is it a case of having to extend the obj.Flags class so that such things can be handled?
Many thanks,
Carl.
I look at mostly Win7/64 systems and have always found shimcache data in memory images before. In the last several weeks only about 50% of the images I looked at had it. I'm running a 2.3 alpha build from a month or two ago (have been all this time).
While not strictly a Volatility issue, could someone explain under what circumstances the data wouldn't be available? I'm not a Windows internals expert (yet, I have part 1 and part 2 on my bookshelf, waiting...)
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask you if it is possible to dump the hive file from a
memory image.
For some reason the printkey cmd does not return expected values.
In my virtualbox Windows xp sp3 image contains vboxtray.exe in the RUN key,
but I dont see it in the printkey -K
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" cmd output
I am using volatility version 2.3 beta.
I want to use Windows registry recovery tool to check if it is able to get
the info I need.
Thank you
Jaro
Hello all,
First congrats on a great tool :)
I'm looking for some iso/distro to be able to do some "coldboot" testing,
and i was thinking on using LiME module.
Does anyone have done anything related to this, like a really small kernel
booting to usb, and dump the mem?
What do you guys use to do memory dumps? (on "real" systems not vm's ?)
Thanks
Thanks both of you for your help and advice. I will try to verify if the memory is allocated. I have to convert the memory image to the crash dmp.
The --base switch works very well. I overlooked it in the help.
Thanks

Jaroslav - to answer your other question "how can I dump this using the
offset 0x80013000?" you can use the moddump plugin with --base= 0x80013000.

Hello,
We wanted to take the opportunity to point you to a blog post which gives a
preview of some of the research we've been working on at 504ENSICS Labs in
the area of Android memory analysis. This time we are demoing a feature
that will allow automatted volatility plugin generation with our Dalvik
Inspector tool. We think our results will be of great interest to the DFIR
community and look forward to your feed back. We plan on releasing the
tool this year at Black Hat.

I am looking at Win 7 x86 SP1 memory and I dont understand why I am seeing
"established connections" but no PID or Process with it.

38.126.225.229:43405ESTABLISHED -------- --------------
0x1367da70 TCPv4 10.22.41.40:59302
151.213.50.211:22031ESTABLISHED -------- --------------
In addition I am seeing stuff "listening" and it contains the PID and
Process.
0xdb838178 TCPv4 0.0.0.0:49154 0.0.0.0:0
LISTENING 996 svchost.exe
0xdb850ab0 TCPv4 0.0.0.0:49155 0.0.0.0:0

0xdb855e78 TCPv4 0.0.0.0:49155 0.0.0.0:0

So my question is why can I see the listening processes but im not getting
the Process that are established?
Thanks for the help

Hi all,
I've just created a profile for my Ubuntu 12.04 (3.5.0-25) and I've
dumped the memory using virtualbox guestcoredump.
Using the linux_proc_maps plugin I get the following output:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5576450/
I was expecting similar output to "cat /proc/<pid>/maps". As you can
see, these "-0x4...000" addresses are obviously wrong. Is this I am
doing wrong myself, or is this a bug? It happens for other processes
as well.
If this is a bug I'll make a new issue in the tracker with the steps
I've followed to produce this.
Cheers,
Edwin
HI,
There was some talk on the #volatility irc channel.. Won't go into details,
Basically, wondering how one can use vtop from volshell as it is not a
plugin.
thanks
Dear all,
I was hoping that someone might be able to clear up a query I have wrt Windows memory and how it handles memory pages (specifically information regarding the pages executable permissions). I'm assuming that PAE is in use here.
The idea is that we have some page (holding virtual address addr) within a processes address space and wish to know if that page is executable.
Within user space, we can use the VADs and obtain executable information via vad.u.VadFlags.Protection - vadinfo.PROTECT_FLAGS allows the returned value (as an int) to be converted into a string representation.
Within kernel space, we can use the PTE to determine information regarding the pages exec status - for example:
def get_page_nx_bit(addrspace, addr):
pdpte = addrspace.get_pdpte(addr)
pde = addrspace.get_pde(addr, pdpte)
pte = addrspace.get_pte(addr, pde)
return pte >> 63
gets the NX bit for the PTE associated with a given page address.
Now, in comparing bit 63 of the PTE entries against the VAD protection permissions in user space, I'm noticing the occasional difference. Naively, I'd expected the PTEs to agree with the protection information on the VADs (within user space).
Any help or pointers to information resolving the above is very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Carl.
Thanks Michael. My whole purpose in this instance was to test the nbdserver
project for my blog post. That's why I used this particular method. I'll
follow up with Jeff and let him know what you came up with.
Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Yes, I ran winpmem on the subject machine and allowed it to save an image
file to that machine successfully. In my nbdserver test, I ran winpmem -l
and verified the service was running. I went to the nbd Linux client and
began the process of imaging pmem from the subject computer via the
network. Running nbd-client on the Linux workstation, I assigned the pmem
output coming over the network to /dev/nbd0. I used the following command
line then to image:
dd if=/dev/nbd0 of=./ramoutput.dd
This has been successful on 32 bit XP machines, but it dies on the 64 bit
machine. If this description doesn't make sense, I'll try to do a better
description later this evening.

Hey all,
So far I am unable to get hivedump to work specifying an offset in
either interactive or non-interactive mode:

Any hints on what I could be doing wrong? Thank you.

I recently used the latest version of winpmem in conjunction with Jeff
Bryner's nbdserver to acquire ram for a couple different systems in support
of a blog post I was writing. Acquisition of 1 gb memory from an XP 32 bit
vm via the network worked perfectly.
However, acquiring memory from a 64 bit Win 7 physical system with 12 GB
ram failed. It would start okay, but would freeze up and reboot the Win 7
system at 3.5 GB every time when being acquired using nbdserver via the
network. Using winpmem directly on the machine works successfully, but
fails on the network.
Any suggestions as to the problem? I can provide any data or follow up
testing if needed.

Heh..always so easy :) Thanks...it's flying now. Last thing I think I
need is plugins...here's what the TP responds with:
subcommands:
The following plugins can be selected.
Plugin
dis Disassemble the given address space.
dt Print a symbol.
dump Hexdump an object or memory location.
grep Search an address space for keywords.
guess_profile Guess the exact windows profile using
heuristics.
imagecopy Copies a physical address space out as a raw DD
image
info Print information about various subsystems.
load_as Load address spaces into the session if its not
already loaded.
null This plugin does absolutely nothing.
peinfo Print information about a PE binary.
is there a different spot do snag the plugins, or am I barking up the
wrong tree? Thanks again for all your help on this.

Thanks Michael...I did give that a go but got:

Hello,
We wanted to take the opportunity to point you to a blog post which gives a
preview of some of the research we've been working on at 504ENSICS Labs in
the area of Android memory analysis. We think our results will be of great
interest to the DFIR community and look forward to your feed back.
The blog post can be found here:

Hi,
I was wondering: did anyone ever managed to do an analysis with a real
device? I know the answer is Yes.
The thing is that I've seen around many nice examples and tutorials
working... but all of them with the emulator. The only real device sample
"in the wild" seems to be the Evo4GRodeo samples from DFWRS Challenge.
This time I'm pretty sure I did (almost?) everything right. Although if it
doesn't work, probably it's not.
I've tried also with another smartphone other than the HTC One X, the
Galaxy Nexus, getting the correct kernel version. No compilation errors, no
module errors, no lime module crashing on the phone, no volatility profiles
error, nothing. Everything (looks) right.
But still, when trying to run volatility I still keep getting empty results
like this:
hydra:volatility-read-only paco$ python vol.py
--profile=LinuxGalaxyNexus-3_0_1x86 -f ~/memdump/test-lime-4.7.lime
linux_pslist
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.3_alpha
WARNING : volatility.obj : Overlay structure cpuinfo_x86 not present
in vtypes
Offset Name Pid Uid Gid DTB
Start Time
---------- -------------------- --------------- --------------- ------
---------- ----------
Now I start wondering two things:
- Is it my lime dump the issue? the header looks fine, if I look inside
with hexdump it seems reasonable, if I strings it I find my data.
- Is it the volatility profile? Maybe, because I've event tried to dump the
memory of my Galaxy Nexus with FROST (which uses LiME) and the result looks
the same. So I started believing my problem is in the profile, although I
cannot seem to find any other way to understand where the problem could be.
So if anyone who successfully analyzed Android memory dumps from any real
life device is willing to share his experience and/or Volatility profile,
it would be great.
Thanks
P.

Brian,
You must be talking about Jesse's rawmoddump plugin. Its interesting to see
how people go about solving problems. Rather than typing 3 lines into the
existing volshell plugin, he re-implemented the same functionality into a
70 line file and then blogged about it as if it was some ground breaking
new capability...lol.
Anyway, there are a few possible explanations for finding a legitimate
driver at an offset from the base address reported by modscan. One is that
modscan found an _LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY structure in physical memory that
represents a driver that was once loaded at address XXXXXXXX but has since
moved or unloaded. In that case, the kernel would be allowed to map another
driver into that available space (starting at either the exact same or a
nearby address).
Another plausible scenario is that modscan found an _LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY
for a module that is still loaded at its original address (check with
modlist which will show currently loaded modules). The driver has another
driver embedded in its resources section that it installed or planned to
install. In that case you would expect to find another PE file somewhere
near the base of the first one.
Hope this helps,
MHL

My Malware Analysts Cookbook refers to this module and I found a couple
of videos on how to use it; I just can't seem to locate the module itself.
Has it perhaps been deprecated by some other plugin or process?
Thanks!

Hi Andrew,
I am sorry but it's my mistake because the os is not real centos but a
derived. The os is clearos (infact centos based) distro for firewalls.
Anyway:
# uname -a
Linux fw2.mycompany.local 2.6.18-308.1.1.v5 #1 SMP Sun Mar 11 18:15:19 MDT
2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/issue
ClearOS Enterprise Edition release 5.2
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
Thanks very much and I am sorry for the mistake.

psscan and thrdscan output but no other output from other plugins.
Any suggestions from the group on troubleshooting the image.
Fyi I can see all the data when I view it in hbgary responder pro.
Thanks

I'm digging through a memory image of a pretty thoroughly compromised
system using Volatility and I've run across something new (to me
anyway...).
There's a rogue process in the image that lists a PID which exceeds the
width allocated by Volatility:
0xdba0f9a8 cmd.exe 5004 True True False True False
True False
0xda247250 chrome.exe 4764 True True False True False
True False
0x6da39918 ☼ 42...2 False False False False False
False True
0xdcd97610 SearchFilterHo 6956 False True False False False
False False
0xdace4568 PrintIsolation 6312 False True False False False
False False
I'd dearly love to get my hands on that executable, but I don't see an
easy way to get the PID.
Any easy way forward on this?

Hi Guys,
I've been messing around for about a week trying to get volatility to
analyse a memory dump of some system.
Since this is part of a puzzle I know I should be able to analyse it
(although I'm not sure volatility can , but it seems to be my best option).
The actual question is this:
I assume that I have a dump of a box running kernel version
2.6.32-45.104-generic-pae . How should I correctly create a profile in
volatility to analyse this dump? I can create a profile but I don't
think it's correct...
Because I do make some assumptions, I'd like to share my workflow below.
Please feel free to comment!
My current setup is:
- Recent ubuntu box
- On which KVM resides
- A "memory.raw" image of the memory of this machine. No other
information was provided.
First I wanted to determine what OS the image is from, and I had a look
by grepping the image like this:
strings memory.raw | grep -i <keyword>
I scanned for keywords like:
- Windows
- Ubuntu
- Debian
- Fedora
- RHEL
Looks like it's actually ubuntu:
boudewijn@ubuntu:~$ strings memory.raw | grep -i ubuntu | wc -l
1668
Okay for determining the kernel version, I started having a look at the
output of grepping ubuntu, and I found:
Linux version 2.6.32-45-generic-pae (buildd@lamiak) (gcc version 4.4.3
(Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1) ) #104-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 19 21:36:53 UTC 2013
(Ubuntu 2.6.32-45.104-generic-pae 2.6.32.60+drm33.26)
Ubuntu 2.6.32-45.104-generic-pae 2.6.32.60+drm33.26
<5>[ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.32-45-generic-pae (buildd@lamiak)
(gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1) ) #104-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb
19 21:36:53 UTC 2013 (Ubuntu 2.6.32-45.104-generic-pae 2.6.32.60+drm33.26)
So I installed this kernel version 2.6.32-45.104-generic-pae, and
rebooted (which is less work than changing the makefile etc.... I'm a
lazy sod).
Okay, make the profile:
boudewijn@ubuntu:~/volatility/tools/linux$ make
make -C //lib/modules/2.6.32-45-generic-pae/build CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
M=/home/boudewijn/volatility/tools/linux modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-45-generic-pae'

make: *** [dwarf] Error 2
Fix the include statement , to include
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-45/include/net/net_namespace.h . make
clean ;make followed...
Created the overlay:
boudewijn@ubuntu:~$ sudo zip
volatility/volatility/plugins/overlays/linux/Ubuntu1004.zip
volatility/tools/linux/module.dwarf /boot/System.map-2.6.32-45-generic-pae
adding: volatility/tools/linux/module.dwarf (deflated 89%)
adding: boot/System.map-2.6.32-45-generic-pae (deflated 74%)
boudewijn@ubuntu:~$
Then I ran volatility with the newly created profile, and it crashed:
boudewijn@ubuntu:~$ python volatility/vol.py -f memory.raw --profile

I thought it might a an amd64 box, but grepping the output of strings
memory.raw just renders +- 10 results. Way to few to be an amd64 box.
Can anyone tell me what I'm actually doing wrong? Or is volatility just
not the right tool for the job.
Cheers,
Boudewijn Ector
Hello all,
I thought I'd let you know that we've put together a cheat sheet that
you might find useful when using Volatility in your investigations:
http://volatility-labs.blogspot.com/2013/03/if-youre-going-to-cheat_15.html
Also we plan to announce the next training opportunity for our Windows
Malware and Memory Forensics Training Course on Monday, March 18th
2013 so stay tuned!
All the best,

I apologize in advanced if I'm overlooking something. I'm using the Windows binary of Volatility 2.2 on a Windows 7 platform. Could someone tell me how I can extract a certain driver using the offset?
I looked at the moddump help and the offset option is not listed. I tried to use -o anyway and got an error saying there is no such option (--offset=offset didn't work either). The Volatility command wiki doesn't show the moddump help but it does link to this post which shows the offset as an option:
http://moyix.blogspot.com/2008/10/plugin-post-moddump.html
I'm not that familiar with Python so looking at the plugin code wasn't that helpful for me. What I am trying to do is to extract a specific driver from a memory image. The moddump command works for extracting all drivers but it would be nice to extract only the one I need.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
Yesterday during a challenge we had to use the linux_dump_map plugin
to dump a process stack, and the documentation at
https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxCommandReference23#linux_pro…
says it has the -p option to select a process.
However, as far as I can tell looking in the svn history, this plugin
never had the -p option. And it's definitely not working currently.
I've heard a confirmation that the option was working in version
2.2-rc1, so maybe it was a global option?
The reason I'm mailing this is because, if the -s is virtual memory,
would you not get possible overlap in areas? How do you know it dumped
the correct VMA? Note that every time I tried, I got the correct area.
Cheers,
Edwin
Hi
I am running - revision 3164
I get the following error when running: Ignore the import errors

I have tried coping over the .sys file twice. I generated a new .sys file
and same error. It worked wonderfully on lastweek. I tried reverting back
to revision 3159 and no dice. Also Oddly enough it works with an old
version of volatility running on remnux.
Not sure whats up. Also here is the output from imageinfo:

Hi,
I am trying to build a profile for the Arch Linux kernel (3.7.9-2),
but I am getting this error:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584634/
Is this a problem with newer kernels or am I doing something wrong?

Hi All,
I'm trying to make a profile for android device.
I did a memory dump with LiME of an HTC One X (Android 4.0.3, HTC Sense
4.0, kernel 2.6.39.4-g6b459dc).
Now, following the instruction here
https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxMemoryForensics , I was
trying to understand how to modify the makefile under
volatility/tools/linux/ , in order to point to my kernel source. The thing
is that in from my kernel source folder I couldn't find a proper value for
KDIR and KVER (although they should be pretty straightforward according to
their name) that would fit with the path for make command as from the
following source code:
pmem: pmem.c
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR)/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build M=$(PWD) modules
dwarf: module.c
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR)/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
M=$(PWD) modules
dwarfdump -di module.ko > module.dwarf
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR)/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build M=$(PWD) clean
Did anyone ever created an android profile? Any hint?
I've seen in the mailing list archive a thread "Profile (ZIP) for Android
4.0.3" from Mike (in Cc), any news about that?
Thank you
P.

Thanks for the quick response. I believe that qegyas.exe is the
injector (according to my procmon at least). Also, that process has
exited, so I'm out of luck for taking a peak at it (in memory at
least...happily the malware left the file on the drive :))

Greetings,
I was adding OS X support to my copy of Volatility per the instructions on https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/MacMemoryForensics. It went well but I thought I'd pull the most recent version while I was at it.
Mac support went away when I did so. setup.py is now missing:
"volatility.plugins.overlays.mac",
Even when I add that back, vol.py --info doesn't show the OS X profiles.
Is this intentional? Is there a different version that I should be using?
Thanks!

Hi there
We are looking to collect memory on an old Windows NT box. Of course, the tools we utilize are too recent to be compatible with Windows NT. Does anyone have any workaround suggestions or tools that may assist with this memory collection?
Regards,

Group,
I have a memory image file for a Red Hat 6.3 box with 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_x64 kernel. Is it ok to use the CentOS 6.3 x64 (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_x64) example profile, given it's for the same kernel, or do I need to build a new profile?
Thanks for the help.

Johnny,
I will try to answer your question to the best of my knowledge. I have also
put the volatility user's mailing list in CC to share your problem with
other users and in case somebody have a better answer than mine ;-)
*Do you know how to send the memory using a netcat session from machine A
to machine B? I tied to do the below, but it did not work.
*
*Machine B (Start Netcat on BackTrack Server)
-------------------------------------------------
root@bt:/var/tmp# nc -l -vvv -p 4444 > lime.dd
listening on [any] 4444 ...
Machine A (On Metasploitable Server, Trying to send image to
BackTrack[192.168.1.107])
-------------------------------------------------
root@metasploitable:/var/tmp/LIME/src# insmod lime-2.6.24-16-server.ko
"path=tcp:4444 format=raw" | nc 192.168.1.107 4444*
Unlike dd, LiME operates in kernel mode so you can't pipe it to netcat in
user mode.
I think LiME was created to listen on the target OS (Machine A in your
case) and memory acquisition needs to be started with netcat on the
acquisition PC (Machine B in your case). I have not try it, but here's how
I think it works:
1) insmod lime-2.6.24-16-server.ko "path=tcp:4444 format=lime"
2) nc 192.168.1.107 -p 4444 > mem.lime
Also, I suggest you to use the padded format or the lime format to dump
memory because I think volatility will not be able to convert virtual to
physical addresses with a raw dump and analysis will fail (unless you pad
the dump manually).
Hope this helps!
Sebastien

On Wednesday of RSA I will be giving a talk titled:
"Memory Forensics: Defeating Disk Encryption, Skilled Attackers and Malware"
This talk will focus on three key points:
1) Showcasing the power and usefulness of memory forensics
2) Distinguishing memory forensics from disk forensics
3) Highlighting why live forensics should not be used and instead
analysts should switch to using offline memory forensics
Throughout the talk there will be many examples of powerful rootkits,
techniques of advanced attackers, looking at Android, and defeating
software-based disk encryption.
If you are interested in the talk and plan on attending, please add it
to your conference calendar:
https://ae.rsaconference.com/US13/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=1885
If you have any questions about the talk or or want to meet up at RSA
then please contact me.
Hi,
I'm interested in parsing through the .vmsn files from VMware.
Vol 2.3 is slated to have the support. Any word on release date?
Has anyone tried using the plugins w/ vol 2.2? Any tips are greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
Mahesh
