New Win7 Process Enscript (Beta)

I updated my Basic Memory Analysis Enscripts (Version 6) and rolled them out at the 2010 WACCI Conference. The newest addition is an Enscript to carve for Windows 7 Processes (Exited and Running).

Important ---If you downloaded the new Enscripts prior to 10/17/2010 please update your download to Version 2.1 - I made some changes to the Win7 (Beta) Enscript.

The magic number I am using is part of the _DISPATCHER_HEADER of the _KPROCESS.

\x03\x00\x58\x00[\x00\x01]\x00\x00\x00.[\x01-\xff]....\xff\xff.

The _KPROCESS is the first entry of the _EPROCESS.

Some Information Regarding the New Enscripts:

All the new Enscripts create a default folder to place search hits and bookmarks. If you run the Enscripts at more then one memory image you will co-mingle hits/bookmarks. And if you don’t rename the folders prior to re-running the script – there is no fail-safe check and your original folder will be overwritten.

To run any of the Enscripts just drop them into your main Enscript folder (usually C:\program files\Encase6 \Enscripts).



My RESEARCH:
\x03\x00\x58\x00[\x00\x01]\x00\x00\x00 (Too many false positives)
\xff\xff\x03\x00\x58\x00[\x00\x01]\x00\x00\x00(Missed processes)

I also tried to use something unique besides the Dispatch Header. I tried to use the following magic number which I believe is the Swap List Entry of the KPROCESS Block.

“\x04\x00\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00.\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00[\x09\x08]” I do know that I could have used \x04\x00\x04\x00{36,36}[\x09\x08]

This also missed several processes in my test data.

The following is output from WinDBG for the command “dt _eprocess”:
