    Greetings, At the 20:32 time mark, you ran: volatility -f -memdump.mem --profile=Win10x64_14393 -h Part of the output from that command included: truecryptmaster Recover TrueCrypt 7.1a Master Keys truecryptpassphrase TrueCrypt Cached Passphrase Finder truecryptsummary TrueCrypt Summary Would you please explain, under what circumstances, TrueCrypt is vulnerable? Is it specific to only version 7.1a? The virtues of truecrypt and veracrypt are that they are open source, and supposedly have no known technical (or design) vulnerabilities (other than user errors -- such as using "password1" for a passphrase or having a keylogger in the OS, etc). So seeing the above truecrypt references is news to me. Is VeraCrypt also susceptible or vulnerable via "volatility" or any other forensics software? It would be good to know if the vault a person is using can be opened by others. What should the user do to keep their encrypted volumes from being compromised? I am not asking how to break into other people's encrypted volumes. I am asking how to keep my encrypted volumes safe from an attacker. Can I trust VeraCrypt? Thank you.

    Hey Richard, thank you for the videos, I started to fiddle with volatility, is it normal that imageinfo takes hours to run and still doesnt complete? I tried it on a 32GB memdump and a 16GB one, on the 32GB it ran for 2.5 hours before I hit control+c, the 16GB is running now for close to an hour without any output. (Drive is an ssd, hardware is modern 4 core processor, not much processor utilization but always max I/O read on drive.) Also just wanted to say thank you for turning me into digital forensics, these past few weeks I've religiously went through your Windows Forensics series taking notes, now starting this one, then I guess onto your other videos. Always heard that you could do these things and all this information is available you just gotta know how to get it from the system... well now I know some of it and thats thanks to you, so again just wanted to say your work being appreciated. :)

    Hi, thank you for the great feedback! Regarding imageinfo, yes, it can take a long while. Two things - 1) try to use kdbgscan. However, keep in mind that if you know the build number for the version of Windows from which the memory capture was acquired, there is no need to run this. Just specify the correct Volatility profile. You can view the installed profiles by running vol.py --info. 2) Volatility 3, which is now in public beta, will (soon) replace version 2. The new version 3 no longer requires profiles to be specified. Check out the episode I made covering it.

    @@13Cubed Hey, thanks for the reply just got to the Volatility Profiles video which made some things clear, the OS version was 18363, while volatility only has 18362 profile. Even still it did work with that profile with pslist, but imageinfo (nor kdbgscan) still cant handle the .mem file itself... I set the debug flag in the command and it just went around with Trying one after the other, then came back with "No suitable address space mapping found" after i maxed the niceness of the process... anyway, not having to figure out profiles is gonna be a great addition, definitely gonna check out version 3!

Example, if I wanted to know what files were opened, how long a file was opened, etc. I have not finished watching your videos yet but this is the reason why I am watching them. If you have something that does that, can you please point me to the right direction? Thanks!

    A super timeline creation tool like Log2Timeline would enable you to profile a large number of forensic artifacts, and then using Excel you could filter/sort to extract data from the time period in which you're interested. I've got an upcoming video covering this, but it's still in production now.

    I haven't had much success with those plugins in Windows 10. Try dumping process memory (memdump, not procdump) associated with any conhost.exe processes and extracting data with strings. That's sometimes useful.

    4 жыл бұрын

    If you dump the process binary itself, say with procdump in Volatility, you can reverse it and analyze it as you would any other binary. If you dump the process memory, say with Volatility's memdump plugin, strings may be your best bet to extract anything valuable therein.

    Those plugins no longer work with newer builds of Windows 10. You can dump the process memory (memdump) for conhost.exe processes and run strings against them to extract command line output. Also check out the public beta for Volatility 3, which includes a plugin called "windows.cmdline.CmdLine", which, in my brief testing, does appear to support Windows 10.
