Hey all,
So we're moving to Windows 7 (64-bit) in our environment, and our
current method of getting memory images off of machines has changed.
So we're using EnCase Enterprise to grab memory dumps. Then what I've
been doing is using FTK Imager to convert that to a DD image, and we
run it through our regular tool. I run the same DD image through
Volatility. I'm running Volatility on OS X Lion.
Recently, I've noticed when I'm just doing an imageinfo with
Volatility (both 2.0 and 2.1_alpha), I'm getting the following:
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.0
Determining profile based on KDBG search...
Suggested Profile(s) : No suggestion (Instantiated with no profile)
AS Layer1 : FileAddressSpace (memory.bin)
PAE type : No PAE
So my first thought was is was an issue with converting an E01 to a DD
image. So I ran a test on a standard Windows 7 build in our
organization.
1) Do a memory collection with EnCase, convert to DD with FTK Imager
2) Do a memory collection with FDPro
3) Do a memory collection with DumpIt
Run the imageinfo command in both Volatility 2.0 and the 2.1_alpha
code, and the results were the same with one exception. With the 2.0
code, and the DumpIt memory dump, I got the following:
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.0
Determining profile based on KDBG search...
Suggested Profile(s) : Win7SP0x64 (Instantiated with no profile)
AS Layer1 : FileAddressSpace (memory.raw)
PAE type : No PAE
But if I try to run another command with --profile=Win7SP0x64 I get:
Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.0
ERROR : volatility.addrspace: Invalid profile Win7SP0x64 selected
I'm just wondering if there's something funky with my Volatility
installation, or if there could be something I need to check in our 7
build that could be causing this.
Thanks ahead of time,
Tom
