# Memory Forensics Comprehensive techniques for acquiring, analyzing, and extracting artifacts from memory dumps for incident response and malware analysis. ## Use this skill when - Working on memory forensics tasks or workflows - Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for memory forensics ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to memory forensics - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Memory Acquisition ### Live Acquisition Tools #### Windows ```powershell # WinPmem (Recommended) winpmem_mini_x64.exe memory.raw # DumpIt DumpIt.exe # Belkasoft RAM Capturer # GUI-based, outputs raw format # Magnet RAM Capture # GUI-based, outputs raw format ``` #### Linux ```bash # LiME (Linux Memory Extractor) sudo insmod lime.ko "path=/tmp/memory.lime format=lime" # /dev/mem (limited, requires permissions) sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=memory.raw bs=1M # /proc/kcore (ELF format) sudo cp /proc/kcore memory.elf ``` #### macOS ```bash # osxpmem sudo ./osxpmem -o memory.raw # MacQuisition (commercial) ``` ### Virtual Machine Memory ```bash # VMware: .vmem file is raw memory cp vm.vmem memory.raw # VirtualBox: Use debug console vboxmanage debugvm "VMName" dumpvmcore --filename memory.elf # QEM
