Volatility Batch File Maker

The Tool: VolatilityBatch File Maker Download

I wanted to take the text output of the various tools (Ptfinder, PtFinderFE and Volatility >PsScan2) which identifies all the offsets for (running) processes and input that offset data into several Volatility tools (ProcDump, MemDmp and VadDump). This program creates three batch files. After running the batch files I can quickly leverage additional investigation techniques at the output.

1.Run Ptfinder, PtFinderFE or Volatility >PsScan2 to create a text file that contains process offsets.
2.Run Volatility Batch File Maker.
-a.Select you memory image with “Browse for Memory Capture”.
-b.Select the Offset Text File for your memory image with “Browse for Offset Text File”.
-c.Create Batch (Which is hidden until the previous fields are populated)

Three Batch files are created,upon execution of the “Create Batch”, in the root folder where the memory capture resides. The three batch programs created are procdump.bat, memdmp.bat and vaddump.bat. When you run the batch files each one will create a folder in the residing directory and populate that directory with the selected Volatility Output. Each batch file also creates an additional text output showing any errors(procdumpinfo.txt, memdmpinfor.txt and vaddmpinfo.txt).

The following is an example of the procdump batch file with the following two inputs:
Location of Volatility = "C:\volatility"
Location of Memory Dump ="E:\exemplar\6\exemplar6.vmem"


mkdir procdump
cd procdump
python "c:\volatility\volatility" procdump -f "E:\exemplar\6\exemplar6.vmem" -u -o 0x00551b80>>procdumpinfo.txt
python "c:\volatility\volatility" procdump -f "E:\exemplar\6\exemplar6.vmem" -u -o 0x0166f7b0>>procdumpinfo.txt
python "c:\volatility\volatility" procdump -f "E:\exemplar\6\exemplar6.vmem" -u -o 0x01690920>>procdumpinfo.txt
python "c:\volatility\volatility" procdump -f "E:\exemplar\6\exemplar6.vmem" -u -o 0x016aa3c0>>procdumpinfo.txt
python "c:\volatility\volatili*****Truncated - You get the idea********************

Uses for the Ouput of the Batch Files:
After re-creating all the “executables” from the running processes you can run a virus scanner at the procdump folder. This can be another tool in the arsenal of defeating the Trojan Horse Defense.

Or how about one for the incident response guys... You could run this protocol at a full memory.dmp or on a converted hiberfil.sys (Converted with Suiche's Hibershell) created on a machine prior to your actual response and collection. How many times has someone “helped” you out by deleting the malware from the target machine just before you walked into the door. If the memory.dmp or hiberfil.sys is recent you might be able to “recreate” the malware executable. You could also show a machine has been compromised (or not) when the memory.dmp or hiberfil.sys was captured

The Vaddump folder now contains the output which can easily be used in a program like Encase to give you context to you memory image.

Some walk-through examples to be posted soon. Also I am in the process of updating PtFinderFE!!!
