Study of Memory Forensics: Memory Analysis Technique

The emerging world of technology is also becoming a platform for the increase of cybercrimes. The tools like antivirus and anti-malware serve no purpose in detecting malware, which is directly written into a computer’s physical memory, i.e., RAM. Analysis of a computer’s memory is known as memory forensics. It’s the investigation of advanced attacks on the computer system of various organizations or home computers. This paper reviews how critical role of memory forensics is in investigation of any digital crime.it also determines how important the metadata is which helps in gaining information on the activity of opening and loading of files in a computer. Thus, the paper aims towards providing algorithms to retrieve metadata from the computer helping in the investigation process.
