MemTracer is a tool that offers live memory analysis capabilities, allowing digital forensic practitioners to discover and investigate stealthy attack traces hidden in memory. The MemTracer is implemented in Python language, aiming to detect reflectively loaded native .NET framework Dynamic-Link Library (DLL). This is achieved by looking for the following abnormal memory regionβs characteristics:
The tool starts by scanning the running processes, and by analyzing the allocated memory regions characteristics to detect reflective DLL loading symptoms. Suspicious memory regions which are identified as DLL modules are dumped for further analysis and investigation.
Furthermore, the tool features the following options:
python.exe memScanner.py [-h] [-r] [-m MODULE]
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r, --reflectiveScan Looking for reflective DLL loading
-m MODULE, --module MODULE Looking for spcefic loaded DLL
The script needs administrator privileges in order incepect all processes.
