Volatility Linux Support
by Joe Sylve
I'm having trouble getting the linux support branch working.
I followed all the directions found here:
https://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxMemoryForensics
I just can't seem to get it to work. Here's what I'm getting:
joe@zuul:~/volatility/lin64-support$ python vol.py
Welcome to volshell!
To get help, type 'help()'
>>> session.filename = "/home/joe/dump"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'session' is not defined
Can anyone help me with this, or point me to a download for the older linux
branch, which was previously working for me? Thank you very much.

Error with new packetscan module
by Mike Pilkington
Hi,
I'm playing with the new packetscan.py module from issue 233:
http://code.google.com/p/volatility/issues/detail?id=233
I'm using it against a Windows XP SP2 image and get the following error:
$ volatility packetscan -f IR-XP-PC-20120302-memdump.mem --no-cache
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/volatility", line 135, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/local/bin/volatility", line 126, in main
command.execute()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/volatility/commands.py",
line 101, in execute
func(outfd, data)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/volatility/plugins/packetscan.py",
line 100, in render_text
for source, dest in data:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/volatility/plugins/packetscan.py",
line 91, in calculate
profile.vtypes.update(ippkt_vtype)
AttributeError: 'WinXPSP2x86' object has no attribute 'vtypes'
Does this module not support XP SP2?
I'm admittedly in over my head, but I'm trying to figure out how to
create a plugin to scan memory for a particular signature, and when
found, parse data following the signature at specified offsets. I was
examining this module as a possible template for my own module. I'm
wondering, is it recommended to create a new vtype when scanning for a
structure in memory?
Thanks, Mike
