Hi,
I've recently used linux_netstat with different Linux memory images
and noticed that the destination port for established outgoing connections
is always shown as "0".
The source port for incoming connections is shown correctly.
Any way to fix this and get the correct destination port for outgoing
connections?
Thanks,
Thomas
Hello list,
I’m trying to use Volatility on an OSX memory dump. I was unable to download mac memory reader as the site is offline. I’ve used osxpmem from recall.
The commands I used to perform the dump were:
sudo kextutil MacPmem.kext
sudo ./osxpmem --format elf -o ./ram.dump
I then moved ram.dump into my volatility directory
To check my downloaded profile is included I’ve run the command
./volatility_2.5_mac --plugins=./mac —imageinfo
and then I ran
./volatility_2.5_mac --plugins=./mac --profile=MacElCapitan_10_11_4_15E65x64 -f ../ram.dump mac_pslist
and got
Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.5
Offset Name Pid Uid Gid PGID Bits DTB Start Time

No suitable address space mapping found

Apparently my OSXPmemElf signature is invalid. What can I do to dump memory with a valid signature? Or does my problem lie elsewhere?

Dear list,
Is it possible to extend the built in profiles for the standalone mac version of volatility with extra ones?
I’ve downloaded the linux and mac profiles from github and tried putting them in a subdirectory as with the source code version on Linux i.e. volatility_2.5.mac.standalone/volatility/plugins/overlays/mac
However they don’t show up in the profile list when I run volatility_2.5.mac.standalone —info
Regards,
Rob
Hi,
thanks to your suggestion, I make great progresses but I still not get
the target: localize the master password of an android app.
I run the app and set a password as "mypassword2016". With yarascan I
was able to see that this password is store in memory in unicode (I run
"python vol.py linux_yarascan -W -A -Y "mypassword2016"").
Then, I would like to see if there some "signature" that helps me to
locate the password. So I decide to use volshell and see around the
passwod, but I have no luck (see the attachment, where I showed that
there is before and after of the two occurrences of the password
"mypassword2016").
Of course I've repeated the same workflow for other two passwords, but I
did not get anything that helps me to figure out if there is way to
locate where the password is store.
Do you have any suggestion, please?
Thanks in advance,
Massimo
Hi Laurent,
Not necessarily. You're assuming that everything once in memory stays in
memory...which isn't the case. If you have an IP and you pass it to
ws2_32.connect() and then free or overwrite the memory containing the
IP...the connection stays up and running just fine. It could also be
swapped to the page file.

Hi all,
Wondering if anybody's come across this scenario...
I want to read an address from my_offset:
my_address = obj.Object('address', offset=my_offset, vm=task_vm)
However, for Wow64 the address should only be 4 bytes, but because we're
analysing with a 64-bit profile, 'address' will cause 8 bytes to be parsed
(right?).
Do I need to replace it with something like:
if profile_is_32bit or process_is_wow64:
my_address = obj.Object('unsigned long', offset=my_offset, vm=task_vm)
else:
my_address = obj.Object('unsigned long long', offset=my_offset,
vm=task_vm)
Or do I need to start manually unpacking structs?
Thanks,
Adam
The Call for Presentations for the Open Source Digital Forensics Conference (OSDFCon) ends on June 1 and we’ve just decided to have one presentation this year from someone who cannot physically attend the event. If you have a talk that you want to give about a tool you’ve developed or used, but don’t have the budget to travel to Virginia, then you can still submit. This is a test to see if we can open the event to more people.
All we need for the submission is an abstract about your software, use cases, or experiences. Feel free to submit topics that were submitted in past years, but not chosen from the crowd sourcing.
http://www.osdfcon.org/osdfcon-2016/2016-call-for-presentations/
We’re also looking for more hands-on workshops. A lot of attendees last year requested more hands on sessions, so if you can give a 3-hour workshop the day before, it would be a great way to get awareness for your software.
thanks,
brian
Hello dear volatility community,
I am a ISE master student at Ben Gurion University in Israel.
And I need you help.
My research deals with extracting many features from a windows memory dump
taken from vSphere snapshots. (Mostly Windows 2012 R2).
In order to extract as many features as possible I am using volatility
framework which helps me to receive the most basic features I need.
I want to leverage volatility framework even more so I can extract more
valuable features.
Here is the list of features I want to try to extract from the memory:
- Achieving the stack of all processes. or any thing that can be deduced by
it, for example call sequence or function's parameters etc.
- Gathering information about reading or writing actions that were
happening while the snapshot was taken or before.
- Find / detect usages of cryptography keys in the memory, especially
asymmetric keys.
- Find / detect changes in the registry.
I hope this post is not too abstract, and that maybe you can help me start.
I want to first know if what I am trying to do is even possible? Is
volatility the right tool?
If it is, where should I begin?
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Yuval
That's great! Thank you so much :)
