The 2024 Volatility Plugin Contest is officially open for submissions! This is your opportunity to directly contribute to the open-source forensics community and put groundbreaking capabilities into the hands of digital investigators. Gain industry-wide visibility for your work, contribute to an important open-source project, and win cash, swag, and other great prizes! The contest is designed to encourage research and development in the field of memory analysis – a critical field given the prevalence of memory-only payloads, malware, and rootkits. Submissions will be accepted until December 31, 2024. Full details can be found on our announcement page: https://volatilityfoundation.org/volatility-plugin-contest/ We are looking forward to another year of creative submissions! -- The Volatility Team
