Overview
memflow is a modular memory introspection framework written in Rust that enables live memory analysis of running systems and memory snapshots. Designed for high efficiency and flexibility, memflow facilitates Direct Memory Access (DMA) introspection across diverse software and hardware environments.
Key Features
- Physical Memory Abstraction: Core
PhysicalMemorytrait provides generic direct memory access across static and dynamic setups. - Dynamic Plugin Support: Dynamically load memory connectors at runtime using the modular plugin architecture.
- OS Abstraction Layers: Supports virtual memory access to individual processes using OS abstractions like
memflow-win32. - High-Throughput Translation: Features optimized virtual address translation for rapid, large-scale memory transfers.
- Language Interoperability: Includes FFI bindings to seamlessly integrate memflow into non-Rust programming environments.
Use Cases
- Security & Forensics: Conduct live memory forensics, malware analysis, and system snapshot inspection.
- Low-Level Development: Perform kernel-level introspection and system driver testing using hardware or software DMA connectors.
- Reverse Engineering: Analyze live process memory space and kernel structures efficiently.
