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 Lou

Hi Lou, There are no stupid questions. Yes, Volatility will support linux memory from a Virtual Machine. If you have VMWare, the *.vmem file is just a copy of RAM. We also support VMWareSnapShot files: http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/VMwareSnapshotFile and VirtualBox: http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/VirtualBoxCoreDump All the best, -gleeda On Fri, Jul 5, 2013 at 12:29 PM, Lou LaRocca <louislarocca(a)gmail.com> wrote:
