The 2015 Volatility Plugin Contest is now live!
by Andrew Case
We are happy to announce that the 2015 Volatility Plugin Contest is now
live:
http://www.volatilityfoundation.org/#!2015/c1qp0
This contest is modeled after the annual IDA Pro one, and its purpose is
to encourage new research in the memory forensics field. Volatility is
one of the most popular tools in digital forensics, incident response,
and malware analysis, and by submitting to our contest your work will
immediately gain visibility through all of these communities.
Besides this recognition, we also award the top entries over $2,000 in
cash prizes, swag (stickers, t-shirts, etc.), blog entries on our
Volatility Labs blog, and an invitation to speak at our memory
forensics workshop.
The entries of last year's winners can be found here:
http://www.volatilityfoundation.org/#!2014/cjpn
This contest is a great opportunity to explore the open source
Volatility Framework, add visibility to your career, and potentially
develop a master's thesis or PhD project.

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...):

Here's the string I expect to see based on the strings output:

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... :-)

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
