Performing Memory Forensics with Volatility 3

When to Use

When analyzing a RAM dump from a compromised or suspect system
During incident response to identify running malware, injected code, or rootkits
When you need to extract credentials, encryption keys, or network connections from memory
For detecting process hollowing, DLL injection, or hidden processes
When disk-based forensics alone is insufficient and volatile data is critical

Prerequisites

Python 3.7+ installed
Volatility 3 framework installed (pip install volatility3)
Memory dump in raw, ELF, or crash dump format
Appropriate symbol tables (ISF files) for the target OS version
Sufficient disk space for analysis output (2-3x memory dump size)
Optional: YARA rules for malware scanning in memory

Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: Active Malware Investigation Acquire memory with DumpIt, run pslist/pstree to identify suspicious processes, use malfind to detect injected code in svchost.exe, dump the injected memory segment, scan with YARA rules identifying Cobalt Strike beacon, extract C2 IP from netscan, correlate with network logs.

Scenario 2: Credential Theft After Breach Run hashdump and lsadump to extract cached credentials, identify mimikatz execution in cmdline output, check for lsass.exe memory dumps in filesystem artifacts, correlate with lateral movement evidence in network connections.

Scenario 3: Rootkit Detection Compare pslist (uses EPROCESS linked list) with psscan (pool scanning) to find unlinked processes, check modules vs modscan for hidden kernel drivers, examine SSDT for hooks redirecting system calls, dump suspicious modules for static analysis.

Scenario 4: Ransomware Incident Recovery Extract encryption keys from ransomware process memory before system shutdown, identify the ransomware variant using YARA, find the initial execution point through command line artifacts, map lateral movement via network connections.
