Volatility is an open-source memory forensics framework for incident response and malware analysis. This tool searches for malware in memory images and dumps configuration data. In addition, this tool has a function to list strings to which malicious code refers.  ## Supported Malware Families MalConfScan can dump the following malware configuration data, decoded strings or DGA domains: - [x] Ursnif - [x] Emotet - [x] Smoke Loader - [x] PoisonIvy - [x] CobaltStrike - [x] NetWire - [x] PlugX - [x] RedLeaves / Himawari / Lavender / Armadill / zark20rk - [x] TSCookie - [x] TSC_Loader - [x] xxmm - [x] Datper - [x] Ramnit - [x] HawkEye - [x] Lokibot - [x] Bebloh (Shiotob/URLZone) - [x] AZORult - [x] NanoCore RAT - [x] AgentTesla - [x] FormBook - [x] NodeRAT (https://blogs.jpcert.or.jp/ja/2019/02/tick-activity.html) - [x] njRAT - [x] TrickBot - [x] Remcos - [x] QuasarRAT - [x] AsyncRAT - [x] WellMess (Windows/Linux) - [x] ELF_PLEAD - [ ] Pony ## Additional Analysis MalConfScan has a function to list strings to which malicious code refers. Configuration data is usually encoded by malware. Malware writes decoded configuration data to memory, it may be in memory. This feature may list decoded configuration data. ## How to Install If you want to know more details, please check [the MalConfScan wiki](https://github.com/JPCERTCC/MalConfScan/wiki). ## How to Use MalConfScan has two functions **malconfscan**, **linux_malconfscan** and **malstrscan**. ### Export known malware configuration ``` $ python vol.py malconfscan -f images.mem --profile=Win7SP1x64 ``` ### Export known malware configuration for Linux ``` $ python vol.py linux_malconfscan -f images.mem --profile=LinuxDebianx64 ``` ### List the referenced strings ``` $ python vol.py malstrscan -f images.mem --profile=Win7SP1x64 ``` ## Overview & Demonstration Following [YouTube video](https://youtu.be/n36WAzgHldY) shows the overview of MalConfScan.
