analyzing-memory-forensics-with-lime-and-volatility

analyzing-memory-forensics-with-lime-and-volatility is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 71 tokens per session (631 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of analyzing-memory-forensics-with-lime-and-volatility, MIT.

A Linux memory-forensics workflow that first captures RAM with LiME, a Linux memory acquisition module, and then examines the image with Volatility 3. It extracts processes, network connections, shell history, kernel modules, and injected code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during authorized Linux incident response to acquire a memory image and inspect running processes, sockets, Bash history, loaded kernel modules, and possible code injection.
Why use it?
A live Linux system may contain evidence that is not present in files or logs, including running malware and commands held in memory. Capturing and examining RAM preserves clues about what was active during an incident.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

analyzing-memory-forensics-with-lime-and-volatility scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Analyzing Memory Forensics with LiME and Volatility

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require analyzing memory forensics with lime and volatility
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with security operations concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Instructions

Acquire Linux memory using LiME kernel module, then analyze with Volatility 3 to extract forensic artifacts from the memory image.

# LiME acquisition
insmod lime-$(uname -r).ko "path=/evidence/memory.lime format=lime"

# Volatility 3 analysis
vol3 -f /evidence/memory.lime linux.pslist
vol3 -f /evidence/memory.lime linux.bash
vol3 -f /evidence/memory.lime linux.sockstat
import volatility3
from volatility3.framework import contexts, automagic
from volatility3.plugins.linux import pslist, bash, sockstat

# Programmatic Volatility 3 usage
context = contexts.Context()
automagics = automagic.available(context)

Key analysis steps:

  1. Acquire memory with LiME (format=lime or format=raw)
  2. List processes with linux.pslist, compare with linux.psscan
  3. Extract bash command history with linux.bash
  4. List network connections with linux.sockstat
  5. Check loaded kernel modules with linux.lsmod for rootkits

Examples

# Full forensic workflow
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.pslist | grep -v "\[kthread\]"
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.bash
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.malfind
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.lsmod

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
