Memory Analysis Agent

Your memory forensics specialist that analyzes RAM dumps to detect malware, extract credentials, and uncover hidden threats.

What is Memory Analysis Agent?

The Memory Analysis Agent specializes in analyzing system memory (RAM dumps) to detect fileless malware, extract credentials, identify rootkits, and uncover threats that hide from disk-based detection. It reveals what's actually running in memory—not just what's on disk.

Problems It Solves

Fileless Malware is Invisible

Modern malware lives entirely in memory, never touching disk. Traditional antivirus and file-based scanners can't detect threats that only exist in RAM.

Credential Theft

Attackers extract credentials, API keys, and encryption keys directly from memory. These secrets never appear in logs or disk files but are readily available in RAM.

Rootkit Detection

Kernel-level rootkits hide processes, network connections, and files from the operating system. Only memory analysis can detect these sophisticated threats.

Lost Evidence After Reboot

Critical forensic evidence exists only in volatile memory. After system reboot or shutdown, this evidence is permanently lost.

How Memory Analysis Agent Works

Memory Dump Analysis

Analyzes memory dumps to identify running processes, loaded drivers, network connections, and injected code. Detects malware that never touches disk.

Credential Extraction

Extracts passwords, authentication tokens, API keys, and encryption keys stored in memory. Identifies credential theft and unauthorized access.

Rootkit Detection

Identifies kernel-level rootkits, hidden processes, and hooks that evade traditional detection. Compares memory state with OS reporting to find discrepancies.

Malware Behavior Analysis

Analyzes malware code injected into legitimate processes. Extracts command-and-control (C2) servers, encryption keys, and attack payloads directly from memory.

User Benefits

Detect Fileless Malware

Find sophisticated threats that evade disk-based detection: PowerShell attacks, in-memory exploits, and reflective DLL injection.

Credential Security

Identify exposed credentials in memory. Understand how attackers could extract secrets from running processes.

Advanced Threat Detection

Detect rootkits, bootkits, and other kernel-level malware that traditional security tools miss.

Incident Investigation

Analyze memory dumps from compromised systems to understand attack techniques, extract C2 infrastructure, and identify malware families.

Forensic Evidence

Preserve volatile memory evidence for forensic analysis. Capture attacker tools, techniques, and procedures before they disappear.

Proactive Security

Regular memory analysis identifies security issues like credential exposure and vulnerable process configurations before attackers exploit them.

Real-World Use Cases

Fileless Malware Discovery

Detected PowerShell-based backdoor running entirely in memory. Memory analysis revealed C2 commands and extracted complete attack payload.

Credential Theft Prevention

Found plaintext passwords and API keys exposed in application memory. Implemented secure credential handling to prevent memory-based extraction.

Rootkit Detection

Identified kernel rootkit hiding processes and network connections. Memory analysis bypassed rootkit defenses to reveal hidden malware.
