Analyze volatile memory (RAM) dumps using the Volatility 3 framework to extract running processes, network connections, loaded modules, credentials, and encryption keys, and to detect process hollowing, DLL injection, or hidden processes/rootkits. Use during incident response on a compromised or suspect system when disk-based forensics alone is insufficient and volatile evidence of malware or intrusion must be recovered from memory.

# 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
