Windows

Create generic volatility3 OS wrappers.

This module provides a way to interact with Volatility3 plugins in a more abstract way. It allows to automatically get all available plugins for a specific OS and run them with the required arguments.

Example

The module can be used as follows:

$ python3
>>> from pydfirram.modules.windows import Windows
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> dumpfile = Path("tests/data/dump.raw")
>>> generic = Windows(dumpfile)
>>> plugin = generic.pslist().to_list()

OR : $ python3 >>> from pydfirram.modules.windows import Windows >>> from pathlib import Path >>> dumpfile = Path("tests/data/dump.raw") >>> generic = Windows(dumpfile) >>> plugin = generic.pslist(pid=[4]).to_df() >>> print(plugin)

Windows

Bases: Generic

A wrapper class for utilizing Windows-specific functionalities around the base methods.

This class serves as a simplified interface for interacting with Windows operating system dumps. It inherits from the Generic class and initializes with Windows as the operating system.

Attributes:

dumpfile : str The path to the memory dump file.

Methods:

init(dumpfile) Initializes the Windows class with the given dump file.

            - Automagic and context settings are configured before
                building the context.
            - If additional keyword arguments are provided, they are
                added as arguments to the context.

physaddr : int, optional The physical address offset for the memory dump. virtaddr : int, optional The virtual address offset for the memory dump. pid : int, optional The process ID for which the memory dump should be generated.

Notes:
  • The method sets up the context with the operating system and dump files.
  • Automagic and context settings are configured before building the context.
  • If additional keyword arguments are provided, they are added as arguments to the context.
  • The resulting context is executed and rendered to a file using the Renderer class.
