Computer Memory Forensics
Capturing and analysing volatile RAM to uncover active network connections and running processes.
Last reviewed
What does this service cover?
We capture and analyse computer live memory (RAM) to discover running programs, network connections, and transient artefacts that never touch the hard disk. This analysis is vital for detecting in-memory threats and active unauthorised sessions.
When do you need it?
Investigating active system intrusions, unauthorised sessions, or advanced threats.
Preserving volatile evidence before powering down compromised corporate servers.
Detecting in-memory credential injection and unauthorised background processes.
VOLATILE RAM INVESTIGATION
Live Memory Forensic Process
Volatile Memory Preservation
Capturing what the computer holds in memory before it is shut down or restarted.
Memory Dump Integrity Check
Cryptographic hash generation and verification of volatile RAM dumps and hibernation files.
Process & Connection Triage
Analysing process trees, network sockets, active command-line executions, and in-memory artefacts.
Volatile Artefact Report
A written report of the running programs and network connections found in memory.
What do you receive?
A detailed volatile artefact report documenting running processes, active connections, and memory-resident indicators. Whether evidence is admitted is decided by the court in each case.
- Capturing live memory before the system is shut down
- Analysis of unlinked and hidden running processes
- Detection of active network connections and sockets
- Volatile artefact extraction and forensic documentation
FAQ
What do people ask about it?
Why is live memory examination important?
Many modern threats operate entirely in volatile memory and leave no traces on the physical disk.
Should a compromised computer be shut down before examination?
No. Shutting down or rebooting powers off RAM and destroys volatile evidence; contact us immediately for preservation guidance.
