Hi everyone,
I ran apihook command in Volatility with the very fast pyvmi address space.
However, I didn't see significant performance improvement in terms of the
total runtime as it still ran for 5 mins - 6 mins.
Although I have got profiling report of apihooks by cProfile and have been
aware that __read_bytes(), the acquisittion of memory content, just
consumed a very small part, which is 7 secs, of the total 5~6 mins, and
that the overhead may be categorized in apihook algorithm, memory
acquisition as well as Python runtime, I can hardly go further in figuring
out which part of the apihook cost the most.
I attach the profiling report here, and hope anyone help analysis.
Thank you so much.
