With release of such tools as Volatility, acquiring RAM images becomes really useful. We already talked about Windows memory acquisitions with Belkasoft Ram Capturer<\/a>, but today we’ll show you how to acquire Linux memory with\u00a0The Linux Memory Extractor (LiME).<\/p>\n

Let’s start from downloading the tool. You can use this link<\/a> to do it. Of course, you MUSTN’T do it on the subject system, use your Linux forensic workstation.<\/p>\n

Now we should build LiME according to the subject system’s kernel version. How to get its kernel version? It’s easy – use the following terminal command:<\/p>\n

uname -a<\/em><\/p>\n

In our case the kernel version is “3.5.0-23-generic”:<\/p>\n

\"linux_memory_forensics\"<\/p>\n

OK, we are ready to build LiME. Unzip the archive you downloaded, in our case it’s LiME-master.zip. Now change directory to LiME-master\/src. Use the following command:<\/p>\n

make -C \/lib\/modules\/3.5.0-23-generic\/build M=$PWD<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is the command’s output:<\/p>\n

make: Entering directory `\/usr\/src\/linux-headers-3.5.0-23-generic’<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 LD\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/built-in.o<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 CC [M] \u00a0\/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/tcp.o<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 CC [M]\u00a0 \/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/disk.o<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 CC [M]\u00a0 \/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/main.o<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 LD [M]\u00a0 \/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/lime.o<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Building modules, stage 2.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 MODPOST 1 modules<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 CC\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/lime.mod.o<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 LD [M]\u00a0 \/home\/olly\/Desktop\/LiME-master\/src\/lime.ko<\/em><\/p>\n

make: Leaving directory `\/usr\/src\/linux-headers-3.5.0-23-generic’<\/em><\/p>\n

Now we have lime.ko file in the src directory. It’s highly recommended to add the kernel version to file’s\u00a0name, in our case – lime-3.5.0-23-generic.ko, and add it to your LiME kernel modules collection for future use.<\/p>\n

OK, let’s use our kernel module to dump RAM. LiME supports three types of image formats: raw, padded and LiME. The authors of the Volatility memory analysis framework recommend LiME format, so we will use it in our example. Let’s start from copying our kernel module (lime-3.5.0-23-generic.ko) to the IR thumb drive. Make sure there is enough space on the drive to store memory dump!<\/p>\n

Plug it to the subject Linux machine mount it (usually it’s mounted automatically on modern Linux systems). In our case it’s mounted on \/media\/Forensics.<\/p>\n

Open the terminal and change directory to your drive. Now use the following command:<\/p>\n

sudo insmod lime-3.5.0-23-generic.ko path=\/media\/Forensics\/ram.lime format=lime<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s it, now we have a Linux memory image on our thumb drive:<\/p>\n

\"linux_memory_forensic_acquisition\"<\/p>\n

This image can be analyzed with\u00a0the Volatility memory analysis framework, for example. Next time we’ll show you how to do it. Keep reading us!<\/p>\n
