If you are doing memory forensics using Volatility, maybe you have noticed that one of the disadvantages that you can’t do a live analysis. If you need to do live memory forensics, then Rekall is your best friend.

Rekall can be obtained from the following location:

https://github.com/google/rekall/releases

Rekall supports the following Operation systems:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3
  • Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 0 and 1
  • Microsoft Windows 8 and 8.1
  • Microsoft Windows 10
  • Linux Kernels 2.6.24 to most recent.
  • OSX 10.7-10.12.x.

For this diary, I am going to use Rekall for Windows. The installation is straightforward.

Rekall needs to be run as administrator to perform the live analysis. Unfortunately, sometimes you need to specify the profile to do the analysis. To find the right profile type the following command inside the Rekall console:

version_scan name_regex="krnl"

 

Now locate the guid for ntkrnlmp.pdb

In my case its “5B396742883C48D0AB74C7374DEEE9161”

Now exit from rekall console by typing:

quit

 

Now run rekall again with the following command (notice that I have provided the guid in the command):

rekal live --profile=nt/GUID/5B396742883C48D0AB74C7374DEEE9161

 

Now we can play with rekall , here are some examples,

 

To list the available plugins

dir(plugins)

List the running process:

pslist

 

To list the process tree:

pstree


To view the services and save the output to services.txt

services(output="services.txt")

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
