کتاب Practical Memory Forensics: Jumpstart effective forensic analysis of volatile memory

A practical guide to enhancing your digital investigations with cutting-edge memory forensics techniques

Key Features

• Explore memory forensics, one of the vital branches of digital investigation
• Learn the art of user activities reconstruction and malware detection using volatile memory
• Get acquainted with a range of open-source tools and techniques for memory forensics

Book Description

Memory Forensics is a powerful analysis technique that can be used in different areas, from incident response to malware analysis. With memory forensics, you can not only gain key insights into the user's context but also look for unique traces of malware, in some cases, to piece together the puzzle of a sophisticated targeted attack.

Starting with an introduction to memory forensics, this book will gradually take you through more modern concepts of hunting and investigating advanced malware using free tools and memory analysis frameworks. This book takes a practical approach and uses memory images from real incidents to help you gain a better understanding of the subject and develop the skills required to investigate and respond to malware-related incidents and complex targeted attacks. You'll cover Windows, Linux, and macOS internals and explore techniques and tools to detect, investigate, and hunt threats using memory forensics. Equipped with this knowledge, you'll be able to create and analyze memory dumps on your own, examine user activity, detect traces of fileless and memory-based malware, and reconstruct the actions taken by threat actors.

By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed in memory forensics and have gained hands-on experience of using various tools associated with it.

What you will learn

• Understand the fundamental concepts of memory organization
• Discover how to perform a forensic investigation of random access memory
• Create full memory dumps as well as dumps of individual processes in Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Analyze hibernation files, swap files, and crash dumps
• Apply various methods to analyze user activities
• Use multiple approaches to search for traces of malicious activity
• Reconstruct threat actor tactics and techniques using random access memory analysis
