Memory forensics training with Volatility – Mastering RAM and Volatile Data

Course overview

During this course, participants will learn how to deal with live computer data and how to analyze it. Differences between regular “dead-box” investigations and investigations on live machines will be explained in detail, with focus on RAM analysis. Main task during this class is to teach the participants different ways of how to acquire Random Access Memory or RAM, of a live machine and how to analyze it with various tools. The class will show how much data is actually stored in RAM, how to extract it and use it in everyday digital forensic investigations. In comparison to the other RAM related classes, this class is exclusively designed for digital forensic investigators and shows different ways of how RAM data can aid them in their investigations. The participants will go through live forensics and incident response procedures, imaging RAM, RAM analysis with various tools and approaches, restoring and analyzing various Windows related artifacts through RAM forensics, advanced topics on how RAM works in Windows OS environments, password recovery and data decryption and in-depth approach to Volatility framework for RAM analysis. The class is based on extensive hands-on exercises that take the participants through the aforementioned topics.

Who should attend

Digital forensic investigators who want to use live data and RAM analysis in everyday investigations.
