Thanks Michael,

I had run

$ python vol.py --info

but obviously with all the info output I somehow did not see the different name of the htc profile... unbelievable but true :(

Anw thanks, it actually gives the output

Profiles

--------

...

LinuxHTCOneXx86        - A Profile for Linux HTCOneX x86

But now I'm getting other errors... each different for different plugins I'm trying :(

I'll try to understand where is the problem and come back to the list.

Thanks again

Hi Pasquale, 

Can you run this command:

# vol.py --info | grep Profile

The profile may not actually be named HTCOneX exactly. For example I have a Ubuntu1204.zip but the profile name is a little different: 

$ python vol.py --info | grep Profile

Volatile Systems Volatility Framework 2.3_alpha

....

LinuxUbuntu1204x64   - A Profile for Linux Ubuntu1204 x64

.....

So I would need to use --profile=LinuxUbuntu1204x64

Hi Andrew,

A summary hopefully useful also for others (especially mac users)

1) Thanks for the link related to dwarfdump, it worked indeed. It requires some dependancies, particularly for Mac OS X users libelf and elf.h (you can find it attached). This are the steps I followed:

- install libelf (you can download it from here http://freecode.com/projects/libelf)

- copy the file elf.h (attached) to /usr/include

- compile dwarfdump (http://reality.sgiweb.org/davea/dwarf.html).

- There is no make install, the make will compile the different tools. The developer suggest to use the new version .../dwarfdump2/dwarfdump. I'm also attaching the makefile sample updated to this.

2) Thanks. As I wrote in my previous email, I had find out that if exporting from the phone, on android you could find it under /proc/kallsyms :)

So, dwarfdump created a valid module.dwarf file and I did zip both it and kallsyms in HTCOneX.zip, and placed it inside the overlays/linux folder as follow (I've been trying using both volatility versions, the latest you can get from git and the 2.3_alpha from DFWRS):

hydra:linux paco$ zip /Users/paco/Documents/Projects/HTCOneX-vol-profile.zip module.dwarf /Users/paco/Documents/Tools/HTC-OneX/endeavoru-2.6.39-6b459dc/kallsyms   

  adding: module.dwarf (deflated 90%)

  adding: Users/paco/Documents/Tools/HTC-OneX/endeavoru-2.6.39-6b459dc/kallsyms (deflated 75%)

hydra:linux paco$ cp /Users/paco/Documents/Projects/HTCOneX-vol-profile.zip /Users/paco/Documents/Projects/sample-Rodeo2012/Volatility\ 2.3-devel/volatility/plugins/overlays/linux/HTCOneX.zip

hydra:linux paco$ cp /Users/paco/Documents/Projects/HTCOneX-vol-profile.zip /Users/paco/Documents/Tools/volatility/volatility-read-only/volatility/plugins/overlays/linux/HTCOneX.zip 

But when I run it I get still the error:

# python vol.py --profile=HTCOneX -f /Users/paco/Documents/Projects/memdump/20130213-2-htconex.lime linux_pslist

...

ERROR   : volatility.addrspace: Invalid profile HTCOneX selected

So chatting on the IRC channel with udgover, he suggested to have a look at volatility/plugins/overlays/linux.py file. In this file there is LinuxProfileFactory where it checks for "system.map" file. So I've tried to add the same routine for kallsyms. But it didn't work. I even tried to rename kallsyms to System.map and then zip it with module.dwarf. Still the same error.

I'll keep trying, if you have any clue in the meantime of the reason of the above error... here I am :)

Thanks guys

P.

Hello,

Sorry for taking so long to respond...

There are a couple issues:

1) You need to use dwarfump from
http://reality.sgiweb.org/davea/dwarf.html , not the os x supplied
dwarfdump for Linux support.

2) You can get System.map values from a few places. First, check if
the source distributed for your kernel has it. Second, see if the
phone exports /proc/kallsyms. If neither of those work then we will
have to find another solution.

Thanks,
Andrew
