In particular, I also wanted to take this opportunity to recognize those on the development team who helped push to make this release possible: Mike Auty, Andrew Case, Michael Cohen, Michael Hale Ligh, and Jamie Levy. These are the people who make a number of sacrifices in their own personal lives to continue to bring you the most advanced memory forensics framework in the world! If you appreciate the hard work they put into Volatility, I encourage you to Support Open Source Forensics Developers (SOSFD). Finally, shoutz to the Volatility Community for their continued support and feedback!
As an added bonus, we will also be releasing Volatility 2.2 at the Open Memory Forensics Workshop 2012 on October 2. This will be your only opportunity to learn about all the new features in 2.1 and 2.2 from the actual Volatility development team. Please register early. Seats are filling up fast!
