Hi George,
 
Yes, I search memory for all of the things you mention (except ROT13). I output offsets with encase and give it to Volatility to tell me who's it is (that was where I used the "UDO to 210...." label that Michael mentioned). It all works very well. I also include the ports in binary. It is then dead easy to see the convergences.
 
I don't know how to find the buffer yet. However with Michael providing me with the map of the structures, that may be the ticket.
 
This was more curiousity. I produced nothing with Volatility for old (mere minutes in this case) but wanted to be suree by doing the binary searches.
 
I have a lot to learn. It keeps me busy.
 
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate all of your input.
 
Best,
Mike
