Digital Forensics Questions
The role of memory analysis in digital investigations is to examine the volatile memory (RAM) of a computer or device to gather evidence and extract valuable information. Memory analysis helps in identifying running processes, open network connections, active user sessions, and any malicious or suspicious activities that may have occurred. It can also recover deleted or encrypted data, uncover hidden processes or malware, and provide insights into the timeline of events. Memory analysis is crucial in uncovering valuable evidence that may not be available through traditional file system analysis.
