OMFW 2013 Slides
In case you missed it, I put up my slides for my OMFW 2013 talk "Every Step You Take: Profiling the System". You can find them here on google docs. Some of the animations may not render properly, even if played, but you get the idea. If you want to see the cyboxer plugin, send me an email (jamie.levy {at} gmail . com).

Volatility News
Things have been busy lately, but I want to let you know about some important items that are coming up quickly:
Andrew Case and I will teach our course in Digital Forensics and Incident Response again this summer at Black Hat Vegas. This course will cover enough material to take someone from knowing practically nothing about digital forensics (disk and memory) to a point where s/he can comfortably conduct his/her own investigations. There is limited time to sign up, so reserve your seat while you can!
You can hear Andrew talk about Digital Forensics and Incident Response on the Healthy Paranoia podcast from July 7th, 2013.
The 1st Annual Volatility Plugin Contest deadline is quickly approaching! Don't miss this opportunity to win over $2000 in cash and prizes and contribute to the top memory forensics framework by writing a plugin for the Volatility Framework and submitting it to volcon2013@memoryanalysis.net by August 1st, 2013.
We will have our 4th public offering of our official Windows Malware and Memory Forensics training in the Netherlands September 9-13, 2013. This will be our only offering outside the US for this year. Past offerings of our course have been well received and were recently described as the "... perfect combination of incident response, malware analysis and Windows internals." Don't miss out on your chance to take this course and learn not only how to become a Volatility superuser, but how to apply cutting edge memory and malware analysis methodologies against your worst adversary.
The Open Memory Forensics Workshop (OMFW) call for papers has been announced. If you want to give a talk on memory forensics related topics, please get your submission in by September 1st, 2013. OMFW is a half-day workshop that will be held one day prior to the Open Source Digital Forensics Conference in Chantilly, VA. This workshop is fast-paced, to the point, highly technical and intended to raise the bar for analysts who realize the importance of memory forensics when faced with a highly skilled adversary. Not only will you learn a lot and get to meet all the movers and shakers in the space, but your $50 registration fee is entirely donated to charity! Last year all proceeds went to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. So don't delay: there really is limited seating and it does go quickly. Make sure to register your seat now!
The Volatility team will be at the Open Source Digital Forensics Conference discussing The State of Volatility. Come by and see us there :-)
We will have our 5th public offering of the official Windows Malware and Memory Forensics training in Reston, VA November 11-15th, 2013. If you missed the last offering in June, this is your chance to take this course and learn from the developers themselves. As I've stated before, this class includes real-world scenarios that are reinforced with hands-on labs. We cover more than "just one tool" as some detractors like to say. We cover methodologies that will actually help you where some tools fail. You will have a deep enough understanding to investigate even the most skilled adversaries who know how to break common tools in order to hide. Don't be fooled and don't be left behind. Accept no imitations and make sure to take this class.
All students who take the official Volatility training receive a certificate of completion, with CPE credits that can be used for certification renewal. In addition to this, we are constantly updating the course with new material and past students are given updated materials for FREE. What more can you ask for? If you are interested in Volatility training, drop us a line at voltraining [[ at ]] memoryanalysis.net
If you want to see co-trainers MHL and Andrew Case (attrc) in action, I managed to find a couple of videos of their previous talks on youtube:

Upcoming Events and Trainings
I have several speaking and training events that are coming up this year that may be of interest to others in the community:
I will be speaking at the New York Banker's Association's upcoming Annual Technology, Compliance & Risk Management Forum on May 16th, 2013 on the topic of Incident Response and Digital Forensics. If you plan to attend I'll see you there!
Also we (Volatility) are holding our third run of Windows Malware and Memory Forensics in Reston, VA from Monday June 10th through Friday, June 14th 2013. This training will not disappoint even the most proficient of forensic/malware analysts. It includes real-world scenarios that are reinforced with hands-on labs. All students will leave with skills and confidence to conduct investigations involving RAM samples from acquisition to the final report. Students also leave with more than just being Volatility power users, they leave with a deeper knowledge of memory forensics and malware analysis methodologies. Such knowledge is integral regardless of what tools you choose for future investigations, be they open source or commercial, and much more powerful than simply "run this tool, the output is colored red so it's bad". You'll leave the class with knowledge that will help you to figure out if something really is "bad" or not. There are still a few seats left for this training, so if you are interested you should register soon. Send an email to voltraining [at] memoryanalysis.net for registration information.
If you are looking for a course that covers both disk and memory forensics, Andrew Case and I will teach our course in Digital Forensics and Incident Response again this summer at Black Hat Vegas. This course runs from July 27th through July 30th 2013 and will cover enough material to take someone from knowing practically nothing about digital forensics to a point where s/he can comfortably conduct his/her own investigations.
Also we (Volatility) will hold another run of Windows Malware and Memory Forensics in the Netherlands from Monday September 9th through Friday, September 13th 2013. Details will appear soon on the Volatility Labs blog.
Planning for the Open Memory Forensics Workshop (OMFW) is in progress. You should plan to attend if you want to know what's new and hot in the memory forensics space. OMFW is likely to take place on November 4th, 2013 one day prior to the Sleuth Kit and Open Source Digital Forensics Conference. Final details will appear soon on the Volatility Labs blog.

Volatility 2.0: Timeliner, RegistryAPI, evtlogs and more
Back in July I gave a talk at OMFW about extracting timeline data from a memory sample using the Volatility framework. Now has come the time to release the plugins that came along with that talk.
In addition to the plugins I have included a whitepaper on how these plugins were created and used. It is released more in hopes that people will see how to use the framework and be able to write their own plugins or extend existing ones.
I have included all these plugins in a zip file:
MHL's malware malware plugins (malware.py) are included only for convenience. You can also download them from his repository and check there for updates.
I would like to thank MHL and AW for their valuable feedback and Bertha M for extensive testing of the timeliner plugins. The links to the paper and plugins are below:
Timeliner Release Documentation (PDF)
timeliner plugins (ZIP)
Note: Any updates to these plugins will appear in my github repository first.

Volatility 2.0 and OMFW
In case you missed it, Volatility 2.0 has been released! Please download it and test it out and let us know if you have any problems via the "issues area" of the Google Code project. We have lots of documentation and for those on Windows who don't like to install Python, there is a standalone executable available in the downloads section. Make sure to check out the FAQ wiki which contains information on what is supported and how to use MHL's malware plugins.
Some OMFW materials have been released:
Moyix's slides (pdf).
MHL's Stuxnet blogpost and slides.
My slides (google docs)
You can help with the development of Volatility by giving us suggestions for plugins, writing documentation or donating malware samples. Check out the FAQ for how to do all of the above.
