Glad this topic came up. I've recently experienced the same thing and wasn't sure what to make of it. I'll run deskscan and see what turns up.
Thanks!

Steve,It looks like the process was found by analyzing desktop threads (True in the far right column) and then following that lead to the thread's owning process. Its possible that an application created a desktop (i.e. CreateDesktop), started a new process attached to that desktop (the STARTUPINFO.lpDesktop parameter passed to CreateProcess) or "manually" attached an existing thread (SetThreadDesktop). At some point before you acquired memory, the thread(s) terminated and the desktop was removed by the application by calling CloseDesktop. That is one possible theory to keep in mind (its not necessarily a rogue process).I would try running the deskscan plugin to see some details on the desktop object in question. You can also use volshell and the dt() command to show the other _EPROCESS fiels for the structure at 0x6da39918.MHLOn Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 1:37 PM, <shorejsi2@mmm.com> wrote:
_______________________________________________I'm digging through a memory image of a pretty thoroughly compromised system using Volatility and I've run across something new (to me anyway...).
There's a rogue process in the image that lists a PID which exceeds the width allocated by Volatility:
0xdba0f9a8 cmd.exe 5004 True True False True False True False
0xda247250 chrome.exe 4764 True True False True False True False
0x6da39918 ☼ 42...2 False False False False False False True
0xdcd97610 SearchFilterHo 6956 False True False False False False False
0xdace4568 PrintIsolation 6312 False True False False False False False
I'd dearly love to get my hands on that executable, but I don't see an easy way to get the PID.
Any easy way forward on this?
