Installation

This requires volatility to be a library, not just an EXE file sitting somewhere. Run these commands at python shell:

Download Volatility source zip from https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility
Inside the extracted folder run:
setup.py install

Then install these dependencies:
pip install bottle
pip install yara
pip install distorm3
pip install maxminddb

• Note: you may need to prefix sudo on the above commands depending on your OS.
• Note: You may also need to prefix python if it is not in your run path.
• Note: Windows may require distorm3 download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distorm3/3.3.0.
• Note: Windows pip seems to install Yara based on OS bitness, not python. Download installer: http://plusvic.github.io/yara/
• Note: Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 will help pip install distorm3 and pycrypto: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

Usage

-f File containing the RAM dump to analyze
-p Volatility profile to use during analysis (--profile may not work even though it shows as an option)
-d Optional path for output file. Default is beside memory image
-l Restrict web server from serving content outside of the local machine
-r comma separated list of plugins to run at the start

!!! WARNING: Avoid writing sqlite to NFS shares. They can lock or get corrupt. If you must, try mounting share with 'nolock' option.

Features

• Works with any Volatility module that provides a SQLite render method (some don't)
• Automatically detects plugins - If volatility sees the plugin, so will eVOLve
• All results stored in a single SQLite db stored beside the RAM dump
• Web interface is fully AJAX using jQuery & JSON to pass requests and responses
• Uses Bottle module in Python to provide a standalone web server
• Option to edit SQL query to provide enhanced data views with data from multiple tables
• Run plugins and view data from any browser - even a tablet!
• Allow multiple people to review results of single RAM dump
• Multiprocessing for full CPU usage
• Pre-Scan runs a list of plugins at the start

Coming Features

• Save custom queries for future use
• Import/Export queries to share with others
• Threading for more responsive interface while modules are running
• Export/save of table data to JSON, CSV, etc
• Review mode which requires only the generated SQLite file for better portability

Please send your ideas for features!
