Stealthy malware that modifies the operating system kernel to hide its presence. The Core Methodology
Hidden network sockets and communication with C2 (Command and Control) servers.
Memory forensics is the practice of analyzing a computer's volatile RAM to discover evidence of malicious activity or system state that would otherwise be invisible on a hard drive. As modern malware increasingly employs "fileless" techniques—executing entirely in memory to bypass traditional antivirus—mastering the art of RAM analysis has become a cornerstone of incident response. Why Volatile Memory Matters
Capturing a "snapshot" of the RAM. Because RAM is volatile, this must be done carefully to minimize the "observer effect"—the act of changing the memory state by running the capture tool itself.
Looking for anomalies, such as processes with no parent, unlinked modules, or suspicious memory protections (e.g., PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE ). Industry Standard Tools
