MAGNET DumpIt
A Linux memory acquisition tool that creates ELF core dumps compatible with gdb, crash, and drgn for incident response.
What is MAGNET DumpIt?
DumpItForLinux is a memory acquisition tool for Linux systems that captures physical memory and saves it as an ELF core dump file. It solves the problem of obtaining memory images for forensic analysis and debugging in a format that works directly with standard Linux tools like gdb and crash. The tool prioritizes interoperability and uses efficient compression to make memory analysis scalable.
Digital forensics investigators, incident responders, and security engineers who need to capture and analyze Linux system memory during security incidents or debugging sessions.
Developers choose DumpItForLinux because it produces standard ELF core dumps that work immediately with existing debugging tools, eliminating format conversion steps. Its Rust implementation ensures memory safety, and its user-space operation avoids kernel module complexities while maintaining full system memory access.
