I built LiME from the tarball on the project site (not latest svn) and was able to dump memory successfully (type=lime). After many trials and tribulations I was able to get the Volatility profile built for CentOS 5.3x64 (had to remove pmem from the Makefile). I put the profile in the correct directory, and vol.py --info lists it as expected, however when I try to use the profile with the memory image I get an error.

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:

3. I have cross-compiled lime for a custom android installation and produced a kernel module and with it I have successfully retrieved a memory dump of size a little less than 2GB.
1951400096 Jun 25 14:50 mem.dump
4. I have also created a profile pointing to the same custom android installatin:
*** note that pmem is not visited and pmem.c is not compiled ***
cd volatility/tools/linux
edit Makefile and cross-compile module.c and produce module.ko
dwarfdump -di module.ko > module.dwarf

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
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
