Re: [Vol-users] Sample error or real module? (and other questions)
by Gregory Pendergast
Thanks gentlemen. No worries there. I didn't take it badly. Sorry for the
oversight.
Correcting the command gives me output, but leaves me with a new question.
The string of interest seems nowhere to be found (maybe it's unicode? I'm
not sure how to tell...):

OS X Yosemite profiles now in the repo, testing requested
by Andrew Case
I just pushed the profiles that we created for OS X Yosemite into the
'profiles' project:
https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/profiles/tree/master/Mac/10.10/x64
They should cover every version of 10.10.x officially released by Apple.
If there are any missing versions then please let me know.
We are requesting testing across the different versions since the
profiles are so new. If you find any issues then please report them at:
https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility/issues
Thanks for any help!

Re: [Vol-users] Timeliner "-R" not parsing Registry in 2.4
by Jamie Levy
This is true. When we allowed an option to specify by types the short -R was removed. I think it was also due to a conflict in options.

Timeliner "-R" not parsing Registry in 2.4
by Jared Greenhill
Vol Team,
II've been unable to parse the Registry of a Windows system with 2.4 like I
could with 2.3 using the "-R" switch. Do you invoke Registry parsing the
same with 2.4 and Timeliner? When I remove the "-R" flag timeliner runs as
expected. Apologies if this has been discussed somewhere. I've tried with
Vol.py (compiled from source) and the Windows binary flavor of 2.4.
Here's the errors I am receiving:
C:\Users\DFIR-PC\Desktop\Mem>vol.exe -f Bad.img timeliner --output=body >
timeline.txt -R
Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.4
Usage: Volatility - A memory forensics analysis platform.

RE: [Vol-users] Output of strings not found in memdump output - QEMU/QEVM sample
by Torres, Geoff (Cyber Security)
Hi,
Sorry for the 'me too' response, but I'm having this exact same problem. However, the main difference is that I'm using a 'QEMU' memory image (Hex dump sig is QEVM in the first 4 bytes) from a cloud instance.
I've converted these in the past using the 'lqs2mem' tool written by Juerg Haefliger and Andrew Tappert and it's worked perfectly for the 'netscan' and 'ps' type plugins. However, I haven't needed to dump processes before and look for specific strings. I can locate the strings in the converted image, but it's not translating to the processes that are identified by the 'strings' plugin.
Here's the steps I've been taking -
## Memory dump info
> ll memory_dump
-rw------- 1 geoff citsirt 7579914273 Apr 27 13:36 memory_dump
> file memory_dump
memory_dump: QEMU suspend to disk image
> xxd memory_dump | head -n1
0000000: 5145 564d 0000 0003 0100 0000 0105 626c QEVM..........bl
## Convert the dump
> lqs2mem -w pc.ram memory_dump memory_dump.ram
section = pc.ram size = 8192 [MB] 8589934592 [bytes]
section = pc.bios size = 128 [KB] 131072 [bytes]
section = pc.rom size = 128 [KB] 131072 [bytes]
section = vga.vram size = 16 [MB] 16777216 [bytes]
section = 0000:00:02.0/cirrus_vga.rom size = 64 [KB] 65536 [bytes]
Wrote 8589934592 bytes from section 'pc.ram' to file memory_dump.ram
## Create the strings file
> strings -a -t d memory_dump.ram > memory_dump.ram.strings
> strings -a -t d -el memory_dump.ram >> memory_dump.ram.strings
## Create the volatility strings file
> python /data/download/apps/forensic_tools/volatility/vol.py -f memory_dump.ram --profile=Win2008SP2x64 strings -s --output-file=memory_dump.ram.vol.strings
> ll memory_dump.ram.strings memory_dump.ram.vol.strings
-rw-rw-r-- 1 geoff citsirt 2914258187 May 7 08:58 memory_dump.ram.strings
-rw-rw-r-- 1 geoff citsirt 4292775089 May 7 12:17 memory_dump.ram.vol.strings
## '<Search_String>' is found in both string files as expected
> fgrep <Search_String> memory_dump.ram.strings memory_dump.ram.vol.strings
memory_dump.ram.strings:183190042 <Search_String>
memory_dump.ram.vol.strings:183190042 [3156:0189321a] <Search_String>
## Dump process 3156 as identified by volatility
> python /data/download/apps/forensic_tools/volatility/vol.py -f memory_dump.ram --profile=Win2008SP2x64 procdump -p 3156 -D processes -m
Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.4
Process(V) ImageBase Name Result
------------------ ------------------ -------------------- ------
0xfffffa800a4e6370 0x0000000000400000 iwproxy.exe OK: executable.3156.exe
>ll processes/executable.3156.exe
-rw-rw-r-- 1 geoff citsirt 3248128 May 7 12:35 processes/executable.3156.exe
## '<Search_String>' not found in the dumped executable
> strings -a processes/executable.3156.exe | fgrep <Search_String>
> strings -a -el processes/executable.3156.exe | fgrep <Search_String>
I've tried many different variations of the above steps and all have the same results.
According to what I've read in this thread is that the issue is to make sure the original dump is properly converted. How can I do that? 'lqs2mem' has limited options.
Any ideas on what I can do differently to get this to work?
Thanks,
Geoff
Don't be afraid to tell me I'm doing something stupid... :-)

mac_psxview command problem on Yosemite
by Justin q. Case
Hey everyone, I recently built a 10.10.3 Yosemite profile for 10.10.3 image I have. When I try to run mac_psxview on the image, I’m getting a bunch of errors as shown below. Any ideas?
bash-3.2# python /usr/local/bin/vol.py -f /users/msquire/desktop/share/macloginELF.dump --profile MacYosemite10_10_3_64bitx64 mac_psxview
Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.4

This has been killing me, any help would be greatly appreciated!
