Pattern-Oriented Memory Forensics: A Pattern Language Approach (Paperback)

This is a full-color transcript of a lecture which introduces a pattern language for memory forensics - investigation of past software behaviour in memory snapshots. It provides a unified language for discussing and communicating detection and analysis results despite the proliferation of operating systems and tools, a base language for checklists, and an aid in accelerated learning. The lecture has a short theoretical part and then illustrates various patterns seen in crash dumps by using WinDbg debugger from Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows.
