Re: AW: [Vol-users] Volatility Call for Bugs

Hello Aaron, nice to hear that a RAM forensics geek like Jesse takes part to the Volatility project. So I'll follow you call an report a possible bug: I assume, that the hiberfil-decompression plug-in does not work fully correctly. Currently I use the SVN-version of volatility. I had already posted the differences between a X-Ways-Forensics-decompressed hibernation file and a svn-release decompressed one, both mapped with X-Ways Forensics. I am sorry not be allowed to provide the original files for testing. You have to be content with my poor tests. But if you want me to do further tests, so please don't hesitate. Today I took volatility itself to verify that issue: A piped output for the files-command has 950 lines (vol) or 1119 lines (XWF). (q&d, ok) The vol-version contains garbled file handles like File [a long line of \x00] File \u8b10\uff01\u4090
\u8b00\u8b1c8\u2454\u8b1c\uff01 Or definitely corrupted PID's Pid: 3810479584 ************************************************************************ Pid: 1095783255 ************************************************************************ Pid: 3925770345 ************************************************************************ Pid: 2768774260 ************************************************************************ The XWF-decompressed version does inspire more confidence without strange entries. A pslist-command generated large negative handle-counts or to huge numbers of handles for some processes in the vol-version but not for those in the XWF-version. For the corrupted processes within the vol-version it is not possible to dump the memmap (error message attached) but for the same pid in the XWF-version it works fine. The number of recognized processes (72) is identical in both files. IMHO Volatility does not decompress the hiberfil.sys properly. Has anybody a clue of some kind of integrity testing of a memory dump?
