Python for Network Forensics 4.1: Analyzing Windows Memory

The video tutorial covers memory forensics, focusing on analyzing volatile memory using the Volatility framework. It introduces the necessary tools and materials, explains how to use Volatility for analyzing Windows memory images, and provides a practical demonstration with a memory dump. The tutorial concludes with a summary and a preview of the next lesson on capturing Linux memory.

What is the primary focus of memory forensics as introduced in this lesson?

• Analyzing hard drive data

• Analyzing user activity logs
