Abstract: A method for creating a memory map of a memory present in a target machine is disclosed for electronically protecting computer systems. In one step, extracting operating system details and kernel details from the target machine. A memory image is generated from the operating system and the kernel details extracted from the target machine. The memory image comprises similar configuration as that of the target machine. A memory map is created from the memory image. The memory map includes a list of applications running in the memory of the target machine at a particular instance of time. The memory map is analyzed for security issues to identify the applications running at the particular instance of time.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for performing forensic analysis of computer systems in a cloud network. The techniques can include using a scalable, cloud-based, specialized computer architecture for performing the forensic analysis of computer systems.
