VolExp

Volatility Explorer

This program allows the user to access a Memory Dump. It can also function as a plugin to the Volatility Framework (https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility). This program functions similarly to Process Explorer/Hacker, but additionally it allows the user access to a Memory Dump (or access the real-time memory on the computer using Memtriage). This program can run from Windows, Linux and MacOS machines, but can only use Windows memory images.

1. Download the volexp.py file (download the memtriage.py file as well and replace it with your memtriage.py file if you want to use memtriage https://github.com/gleeda/memtriage).
