Reconstructing User Activities from a Memory Dump

Event Dates
– Eastern
Location
Online

Child exploitation cases often involve analyzing digital device storage drives to reconstruct user activities. While much can be learned from disk analysis, Random Access Memory (RAM) is a particularly rich source of potential evidence related to user activities. Specifically, reconstruction of user activities from a RAM dump can help establish both a suspect's awareness and intent. This webinar will cover RAM basics, acquisition, triage, and user-activity reconstruction from a RAM dump. We will demonstrate free tools and analysis with Volatility.
