Memory forensics provides cutting edge technology to help
investigate digital attacks

Memory forensics is the art of analyzing computer memory (RAM)
to solve digital crimes. As a follow-up to the best seller Malware
Analyst's Cookbook, experts in the fields of malware, security, and
digital forensics bring you a step-by-step guide to memory
forensics--now the most sought after skill in the digital
forensics and incident response fields.

Beginning with introductory concepts and moving toward the
advanced, The Art of Memory Forensics: Detecting Malware and
Threats in Windows, Linux, and Mac Memory is based on a five day
training course that the authors have presented to hundreds of
students. It is the only book on the market that focuses
exclusively on memory forensics and how to deploy such techniques
properly. Discover memory forensics techniques:

* How volatile memory analysis improves digital
investigations

* Proper investigative steps for detecting stealth malware and
advanced threats

* How to use free, open source tools for conducting thorough
memory forensics

* Ways to acquire memory from suspect systems in a forensically
sound manner

The next era of malware and security breaches are more
sophisticated and targeted, and the volatile memory of a computer
is often overlooked or destroyed as part of the incident response
process. The Art of Memory Forensics explains the latest
technological innovations in digital forensics to help bridge this
gap. It covers the most popular and recently released versions of
Windows, Linux, and Mac, including both the 32 and 64-bit
editions.
