RE: problem analyzing dump from MacOSX 12.1.0.x86_64 (Make that 10.8. 12.1.0 is the kernel version)
by McCash John-GKJN37
Hi all,
Make that OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). 12.1.0 is the kernel version. My apologies. I don't use Macs a lot, and 10.8 doesn't appear in the uname -a output for some unknown reason.

Subject: problem analyzing dump from MacOSX 12.1.0.x86_64
Hi,
I've got to beg some help again. After finally getting Volatility for Linux to work, I procured a Mac mini to test Volatility in that space. I've carefully followed the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/MacMemoryForensics to create a profile file named 12.1.0.64bit.zip, which I placed in the volatility/plugins/overlays/mac folder. When I use the -info option in volatility, I see the profile as Mac12_1_0_64bitx64, so it's getting that far. However when I try to actually analyze an 8GB dump (dumped using MacMemoryreader_3.0.2) from the same Mac mini that I used to generate the profile, I get the following issues:
$ python ./vol.py mac_machine_info --profile=Mac12_1_0_64bitx64 -f /cygdrive/g/Mac*

RE: My Mistakes & Documentation Suggestions
by McCash John-GKJN37
Hi Folks,
Thanks tons to Mike Auty, Andrew Case, Joe Sylve, Andrew DiMino, Michael Cohen, and Jamie Levy, I'm now up and running with Volatility for Linux. I did want to mention a couple of things that I ran into problems with. It's possible we might want for some related items to be more prominent in the documentation.
1. While the -h option output does include the line, "--info Print information about all registered objects", it still wasn't immediately clear to me that this option would list available profiles. In fact, I somehow managed to miss the existence of --info entirely. It might be useful to actually include the list of available profiles in the -h output. Alternatively, maybe we could move -info in the -h output closer to the top, & specifically mention that it will list available profiles?
2. It wasn't clear to me initially that to define a profile, you drop an appropriately named .zip file with appropriate contents into volatility/plugins. It's still not entirely clear, as from some of my reading it looks like you're supposed to put the profile file into volatility/plugins/overlays/<ostype> instead. I'm guessing both probably work, though I haven't tested. I suspect one is legacy or something. You might want to append a notation to the -profile line in the -h output to, "see the tools/<ostype>/README file for details on profile creation", and then spell this out a little more clearly there, including how the profile name is constructed, based on the name of the zip file.
3. I ran into a problem using the specific zip command listed in the tools/linux/README file, "zip Distro.zip module.dwarf /boot/System.map-2.6.32-8-generic". This creates a zip file with a boot subfolder containing the System.map file, which didn't work in my testing. I had to copy the System.map file to the current folder and then zip up the two files.
4. The linux wiki document is out of date, but I imagine you already knew that. It should refer to the linux-trunk branch instead of the scudette branch. It also doesn't say where to put the .zip file to create a profile, how the name of the new profile is created, based on the .zip file name, or how to get a list of available profiles.
Thanks again
John

RE: Problem with Linux Volatility
by McCash John-GKJN37
Response anyone? I can't believe this would really be this broken, so I have to be doing something wrong (or maybe not... see below). I first tried this with r2149, and have checked a couple of the more recent updates, I but get the same result. Are the wiki<http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxMemoryForensics> instructions I'm following maybe out-of-date?
Looking further, I tried this with -dubug, and got:
ERROR:root:Fatal Error: cannot fit 'long' into an index-sized integer
> /home/sansforensics/Desktop/linux_Volatility/lin64-support/volatility/plugins/addrspaces/mmap_address_space.py(67)__init__()
-> access=mmap.ACCESS_READ)
Then looked at line 67 in mmap_address_space.py, and see:
# On 64 bit architectures we can just map the entire image
# into our process. TODO(scudette): Try to make this work on
# 32 bit systems by segmenting into several smallish maps.
self.map = mmap.mmap(self.fhandle.fileno(), self.fsize,
access=mmap.ACCESS_READ)
So, assuming the above TODO comment related to the issue I'm seeing; Is it because I'm running volatility on a 32bit system, or because I'm trying to analyze a dump from a 32bit system?
Thanks
John

Hi Folks,
Sorry you only seem to hear from me about once a year, but I got fired up over Joe's & Andrew's Forensic Summit presentations and resolved to try out the new stuff in the Linux & Mac branches. Unfortunately I don't seem to have gotten very far with it. I've got the scudette branch installed on a SIFT Kit VM, and have successfully used LiME to dump memory from it. I've also successfully created a profile for the SIFT Kit's 2.6.31-23-generic kernel, using json I successfully dumped from module_dwarf.ko. I even tried the live /dev/pmem memory interface you get when you load up the pmem.ko module. When I attempt to run Volatility , here's what happens...

Problem with Linux Volatility

Hi Folks,
