Hello list,

After superb support from Joe the solution was found. In my case memory acquisition with LiME from a Nexus S to SD card did not work properly with direct IO. You can deactivate direct IO with insmod parameter "dio=0":

insmod /sdcard/lime.ko "path=/sdcard/lime.dump format=lime dio=0"

Acquisition over TCP was not affected.

run this patch against the latest SVN and make sure you compile with debugging.

This patch won't actually dump any memory it'll just print a list of
all the ranges to dmesg

Does LiME see all three System RAM ranges?

This is very odd. I have no idea what could cause LiME to miss a
memory segment. Let me do some thinking on this.

Hello,

It looks for me like the LiME dump is not complete.


Based on /proc/iomem I expect to find 3 segments in the LiME dump.

shell@android:/ $ cat /proc/iomem | grep -i ram
30000000-323fffff : System RAM
35000000-35ffffff : onedram
40000000-4b7aefff : System RAM
50000000-57efffff : System RAM
57f00000-57ffefff : ram_console

shell@android:/ $ cat /proc/iomem | head -n 7
30000000-323fffff : System RAM
30032000-3065afff : Kernel text
3065c000-307e154f : Kernel data

40000000-4b7aefff : System RAM
50000000-57efffff : System RAM
57f00000-57ffefff : ram_console


Is it correct to expect the 3 segments ...
(1) 30000000-323fffff
(2) 40000000-4b7aefff
(3) 50000000-57efffff
... in the LiME dump?


If I look into the LiME dump I see:

$ xxd -l 0x20 ~/android/dump/NexusS_4.0.4.dump
0000000: 454d 694c 0100 0000 0000 0040 0000 0000 EMiL.......@....
0000010: ffef 7a4b 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ..zK............

$ xxd -s $((0x20 + 0x4b7aefff - 0x40000000 + 1)) -l 0x20
~/android/dump/NexusS_4.0.4.dump
b7af020: 454d 694c 0100 0000 0000 0050 0000 0000 EMiL.......P....
b7af030: ffff ef57 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ...W............

$ echo $(( 0x20 + 0xb7aefff + 1 + 0x20 + 0x7efffff + 1 ))
325775424

$ stat -c %s ~/android/dump/NexusS_4.0.4.dump
325775424


So there are only the segments
(2) 40000000-4b7aefff
(3) 50000000-57efffff


Is it sound to presume that in this case the LiME dump is flawed?

And if I have to presume that: What could have gone wrong?



Thanks,
Philipp

Hello Andrew,

Yes, I expect that it will take a little until first shipments arrive in
Europe/Germany. ;-)
Pasquales question in the other thread is interesting: Will there be an
ebook version provided for printed version buyers?


Back to the phone: Just talking about the currently installed 4.0.4 ICS:



1) Can you copy/paste uname -a from the phone

$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.0.8-g6656123 (android-build@vpbs1.mtv.corp.google.com)
(gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012

I just also installed BusyBox 1.22.1 from Google Play:

$ uname -a
Linux localhost 3.0.8-g6656123 #1 PREEMPT Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012

2) Can you copy/paste building the profile (cmdline input/output)

$ make

Hello,

Where are you located? Some foreign countries seem to be having shipping
delays.

As for the phone analysis..

1) Can you copy/paste uname -a from the phone
2) Can you copy/paste building the profile (cmdline input/output)
3) Can you copy paste running Volatiltiy with the "-dd" option set

These will greatly help debug the issue.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I pre-ordered “The Art of Memory Forensics” at March 22nd :-) and as of
today delivery is estimated for September 1st :-(. I really hope there
is a chapter about debugging the memory acquisition process. ;-)

Meanwhile may I kindly ask for your advice/hints how to debug the
following? I am not able to successfully acquire and analyze a Nexus S
Android memory dump.

Where could I start to look for errors?
How can I assure that the dump is valid?
How can I assure that the profile is valid?

Any hint is highly appreciated! :-)


Thank you,

Google at [1] offers three “Factory Images ‘soju’ for Nexus S (worldwide
version, i9020t and i9023)”:
2.3.6 (GRK39F)
4.0.4 (IMM76D)
4.1.2 (JZO54K)

Up to now I tried the first two.

Just in case the two memory dumps as well as the two Volatility profiles
are available here:

2.6 First attempt to debug

$ xxd -l 32 ~/android/dump/NexusS_2.3.6.dump
0000000: 454d 694c 0100 0000 0000 0040 0000 0000 EMiL.......@....
0000010: ffff ff4f 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ...O............

=>
magic: 0x4c69 4d45 -> LiME
version: 0x0000 0001 -> 1
s_addr: 0x0000 0000 4000 0000
e_addr: 0x0000 0000 4fff ffff
reserved: 0x0000 0000 0000 0000

=> Address range is:
$ python -c 'print int(0x4fffffff) - int(0x40000000) + 1'
268435456

But file size is still bigger:
$ stat -c %s ~/android/dump/NexusS_4.0.4.dump
325775424

268.435.456 Bytes + 32 Bytes Header != 325.775.424 Bytes file size!!!
