Exam 312-49v10 topic 1 question 633 discussion

None of the dedicated memory acquisition tools are listed. Volatility is the best AVAILABLE option. ECCouncil Official CHFI https://bookshelf.vitalsource.com/reader/books/9781635676969/ Module 06 Page 587 "Volatility Source: https://www.volatilityfoundation.org The Volatility Framework is a completely open collection of tools, implemented in Python under the GNU General Public License, for the extraction of digital artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples. The extraction techniques are performed completely independent of the system being investigated but offers visibility into the runtime state of the system. The framework is intended to introduce people to the techniques and complexities associated with extracting digital artifacts from volatile memory samples and provide a platform for further work into this exciting area of research."

D > 7.3. Demonstrate Memory Forensics Using Volatility & PhotoRec

D. Volatility In the scenario described, Jeff could use the tool "Volatility" to acquire a memory dump of the Windows 10 computer. Volatility is an open-source framework specifically designed for memory forensics. It allows investigators to analyze and extract information from memory dumps, which can be critical in investigating cyber attacks, such as the DDoS attack mentioned. Options A, B, and C are not directly related to memory forensics: Memcheck is a component of the Valgrind tool for detecting memory-related errors in C and C++ programs. RAMMapper is not a recognized tool in the context of memory forensics. Autopsy is a digital forensics platform primarily used for analyzing disk images, not memory dumps.

Per page 583 (V10) you cannot use Volatility to dump the RAM, but you need to use another RAM dump tool and later use Volatility to analyse the contents. So I would say; no right answer here.
