As mentioned earlier this week, we have extended the deadline for the 2014 Volatility Plugin Contest until October 1st because an organization wanted to augment the prizes. We are excited to share that due to an extremely generous donation from Facebook, the total cash prizes have been doubled from $2250 USD to $4500 USD! If you have already submitted to the contest, you can use this extra time to fine tune your submission or submit another entry to improve your chances. If you were considering submitting, you now have an extra month to demonstrate your creativity, become a memory analysis pioneer, win the admiration of your peers, and give back to the community! It’s great to see some of the largest companies in the world showing their support for and giving back to the memory forensics community! Thank you, Facebook, and good luck to all participants in the contest - the stakes have literally just doubled! AAron Walters The Volatility Foundation
