Perform Linux memory forensics with this open source tool
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
Find out what's going on with applications, network connections, kernel
|
|||
|
|
modules, files, and much more with Volatility
|

|

![Brain on a computer screen][1]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A computer's operating system and applications use the primary memory (or RAM) to perform various tasks. This volatile memory, containing a wealth of information about running applications, network connections, kernel modules, open files, and just about everything else is wiped out each time the computer restarts.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Memory forensics is a way to find and extract this valuable information from memory. [Volatility][2] is an open source tool that uses plugins to process this type of information. However, there's a problem: Before you can process this information, you must dump the physical memory into a file, and Volatility does not have this ability.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Therefore, this article has two parts:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* The first part deals with acquiring the physical memory and dumping it into a file.
|
|||
|
|
* The second part uses Volatility to read and process information from this memory dump.
|
|||

I used the following test system for this tutorial, but it will work on any Linux distribution:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
|
|||
|
|
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.3 (Ootpa)
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ uname -r
|
|||
|
|
4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> **A note of caution:** Part 1 involves compiling and loading a kernel module. Don't worry; it isn't as difficult as it sounds. Some guidelines:
|
|||
|
|
>
|
|||
|
|
> * Follow the steps.
|
|||
|
|
> * Do not try any of these steps on a production system or your primary machine.
|
|||
|
|
> * Always use a test virtual machine (VM) to try things out until you are comfortable using the tools and understand how they work.

### Install the required packages
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Before you get started, install the requisite tools. If you are using a Debian-based distro, use the equivalent `apt-get` commands. Most of these packages provide the required kernel information and tools to compile the code:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
`$ yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc elfutils-libelf-devel make git libdwarf-tools python2-devel.x86_64-y`
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Part 1: Use LiME to acquire memory and dump it to a file
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Before you can begin to analyze memory, you need a memory dump at your disposal. In an actual forensics event, this could come from a compromised or hacked system. Such information is often collected and stored to analyze how the intrusion happened and its impact. Since you probably do not have a memory dump available, you can take a memory dump of your test VM and use that to perform memory forensics.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linux Memory Extractor ([LiME][3]) is a popular tool for acquiring memory on a Linux system. Get LiME with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ git clone <https://github.com/504ensicsLabs/LiME.git>
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ cd LiME/src/
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls
|
|||
|
|
deflate.c disk.c hash.c lime.h main.c Makefile Makefile.sample tcp.c
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Build the LiME kernel module
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Run the `make` command inside the `src` folder. This creates a kernel module with a .ko extension. Ideally, the `lime.ko` file will be renamed using the format `lime-<your-kernel-version>.ko` at the end of `make`:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ make
|
|||
|
|
make -C /lib/modules/4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64/build M="/root/LiME/src" modules
|
|||
|
|
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64'
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<< snip >>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64'
|
|||
|
|
strip --strip-unneeded lime.ko
|
|||
|
|
mv lime.ko lime-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.ko
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls -l lime-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.ko
|
|||
|
|
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 25696 Apr 17 14:45 lime-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.ko
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ file lime-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.ko
|
|||
|
|
lime-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), BuildID[sha1]=1d0b5cf932389000d960a7e6b57c428b8e46c9cf, not stripped
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Load the LiME kernel module
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now it's time to load the kernel module to acquire the system memory. The `insmod` command helps load the kernel module; once loaded, the module reads the primary memory (RAM) on your system and dumps the memory's contents to the file provided in the `path` directory on the command line. Another important parameter is `format`; keep the format `lime`, as shown below. After inserting the kernel module, verify that it loaded using the `lsmod` command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ lsmod | grep lime
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ insmod ./lime-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.ko "path=../RHEL8.3_64bit.mem format=lime"
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ lsmod | grep lime
|
|||
|
|
lime 16384 0
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You should see that the file given to the `path` command was created, and the file size is (not surprisingly) the same as the physical memory size (RAM) on your system. Once you have the memory dump, you can remove the kernel module using the `rmmod` command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls -l ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem
|
|||
|
|
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4294544480 Apr 17 14:47 /root/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ du -sh ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem
|
|||
|
|

|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ rmmod lime
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ lsmod | grep lime
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### What's in the memory dump?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This dump file is just raw data, as you can see using the `file` command below. You cannot make much sense out of it manually; yes, there are some ASCII strings in there somewhere, but you can't open the file in an editor and read it out. The hexdump output shows that the initial few bytes are `EmiL`; this is because your request format was "lime" in the command above:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ file ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem
|
|||
|
|
/root/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem: data
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ hexdump -C ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem | head

### Part 2: Get Volatility and use it to analyze your memory dump
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now that you have a sample memory dump to analyze, get the Volatility software with the command below. Volatility has been rewritten in Python 3, but this tutorial uses the original Volatility package, which uses Python 2. If you want to experiment with Volatility 3, download it from the appropriate Git repo and use Python 3 instead of Python 2 in the following commands:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ git clone <https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility.git>
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ cd volatility/
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls
|
|||
|
|
AUTHORS.txt contrib LEGAL.txt Makefile PKG-INFO pyinstaller.spec resources tools vol.py
|
|||
|
|
CHANGELOG.txt CREDITS.txt LICENSE.txt MANIFEST.in pyinstaller README.txt setup.py volatility
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Volatility uses two Python libraries for some functionality, so please install them using the following commands. Otherwise, you might see some import errors when you run the Volatility tool; you can ignore them unless you are running a plugin that needs these libraries; in that case, the tool will error out:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ pip2 install pycrypto
|
|||
|
|
$ pip2 install distorm3
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### List Volatility's Linux profiles
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The first Volatility command you'll want to run lists what Linux profiles are available. The main entry point to running any Volatility commands is the `vol.py` script. Invoke it using the Python 2 interpreter and provide the `--info` option. To narrow down the output, look for strings that begin with Linux. As you can see, not many Linux profiles are listed:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ python2 vol.py --info | grep ^Linux
|
|||
|
|
Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.6.1
|
|||
|
|
LinuxAMD64PagedMemory - Linux-specific AMD 64-bit address space.
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Build your own Linux profile
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linux distros are varied and built for various architectures. This why profiles are essential—Volatility must know the system and architecture that the memory dump was acquired from before extracting information. There are Volatility commands to find this information; however, this method is time-consuming. To speed things up, build a custom Linux profile using the following commands.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Move to the `tools/linux` directory within the Volatility repo, and run the `make` command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ cd tools/linux/
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ pwd
|
|||
|
|
/root/volatility/tools/linux
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls
|
|||
|
|
kcore Makefile Makefile.enterprise module.c
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ make
|
|||
|
|
make -C //lib/modules/4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64/build CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y M="/root/volatility/tools/linux" modules
|
|||
|
|
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64'
|
|||
|
|
<< snip >>
|
|||
|
|
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64'
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You should see a new `module.dwarf` file. You also need the `System.map` file from the `/boot` directory, as it contains all of the symbols related to the currently running kernel:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ls
|
|||
|
|
kcore Makefile Makefile.enterprise module.c module.dwarf
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls -l module.dwarf
|
|||
|
|
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3987904 Apr 17 15:17 module.dwarf
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls -l /boot/System.map-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64
|
|||
|
|
-rw-------. 1 root root 4032815 Sep 23 2020 /boot/System.map-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To create a custom profile, move back to the Volatility directory and run the command below. The first argument provides a custom .zip with a file name of your choice. I used the operating system and kernel versions in the name. The next argument is the `module.dwarf` file created above, and the final argument is the `System.map` file from the `/boot` directory:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ cd volatility/
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ zip volatility/plugins/overlays/linux/Redhat8.3_4.18.0-240.zip tools/linux/module.dwarf /boot/System.map-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64
|
|||
|
|
adding: tools/linux/module.dwarf (deflated 91%)
|
|||
|
|
adding: boot/System.map-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64 (deflated 79%)
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your custom profile is now ready, so verify the .zip file was created at the location given above. If you want to know if Volatility detects this custom profile, run the `--info` command again. This time, you should see the new profile listed below:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$ ls -l volatility/plugins/overlays/linux/Redhat8.3_4.18.0-240.zip

#### Start using Volatility
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now you are all set to do some actual memory forensics. Remember, Volatility is made up of custom plugins that you can run against a memory dump to get information. The command's general format is:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
`python2 vol.py -f <memory-dump-file-taken-by-Lime> <plugin-name> --profile=<name-of-our-custom-profile>`
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Armed with this information, run the **linux_banner** plugin to see if you can identify the correct distro information from the memory dump:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ python2 vol.py -f ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem linux_banner --profile=LinuxRedhat8_3_4_18_0-240x64

#### Find Linux plugins
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That worked well, so now you're probably curious about how to find all the names of all the Linux plugins. There is an easy trick: run the `--info` command and `grep` for the `linux_` string. There are a variety of plugins available for different uses. Here is a partial list:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

Check which processes were running on the system when you took the memory dump using the **linux_psaux** plugin. Notice the last command in the list: it's the `insmod` command you ran before the dump:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|

$ python2 vol.py -f ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem linux_psaux --profile=LinuxRedhat8_3_4_18_0-240x64

#### Access the Linux plugins scripts location

You can get a lot more information by reading the memory dump and processing the information. If you know Python and are curious how this information was processed, go to the directory where all the plugins are stored, pick one that interests you, and see how Volatility gets this information:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ls volatility/plugins/linux/
|
|||
|
|
apihooks.py common.py kernel_opened_files.py malfind.py psaux.py
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
$
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One reason I like Volatility is that it provides a lot of security plugins. This information would be difficult to acquire manually:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
linux_hidden_modules - Carves memory to find hidden kernel modules
|
|||
|
|
linux_malfind - Looks for suspicious process mappings
|
|||
|
|
linux_truecrypt_passphrase - Recovers cached Truecrypt passphrases
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Volatility also allows you to open a shell within the memory dump, so instead of running all the commands above, you can run shell commands instead and get the same information:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ python2 vol.py -f ~/LiME/RHEL8.3_64bit.mem linux_volshell --profile=LinuxRedhat8_3_4_18_0-240x64 -v

### Next steps
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Memory forensics is a good way to learn more about Linux internals. Try all of Volatility's plugins and study their output in detail. Then think about ways this information can help you identify an intrusion or a security issue. Dive into how the plugins work, and maybe even try to improve them. And if you didn't find a plugin for what you want to do, write one and submit it to Volatility so others can use it, too.
