Memory Forensics

Memory forensics is the process of examining a computer's volatile memory (RAM) to uncover evidence of malicious activity or security breaches. Since RAM contains real-time data like running programs, open files, and active connections, analyzing it helps investigators identify what was happening on the system at a specific moment. This method allows for detecting malware, unauthorized access, or other suspicious behavior that might not be visible through traditional hard drive analysis. It is a crucial tool in cybersecurity investigations, providing insights into the system's state during an incident.
