An automated memory analysis tool for malware samples and memory dumps that extracts executables, processes, injections, and artifacts.
VolatilityBot is an automated memory analyzer designed for security researchers and investigators working with malware samples and memory dumps. It automates the extraction of executables, processes, code injections, and other artifacts from memory, reducing manual effort in the initial phases of memory analysis. The tool uses heuristics and YARA scanning to detect anomalies and perform static analysis on extracted outputs.
Security researchers, malware analysts, and digital forensics investigators who need to automate memory analysis tasks for malware samples or memory dumps.
Developers choose VolatilityBot for its ability to automate tedious manual memory forensics tasks, providing scalable analysis through heuristics and integrated scanning tools like YARA, which accelerates initial investigation steps.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Compares clean and infected memory images to automatically extract injected code and new processes, eliminating manual diffing work as highlighted in the motivation section.
Uses heuristics to detect anomalies in memory dumps and dump relevant code for scanning, enabling scalable analysis as described in the current features.
Fetches executables, new processes, code injections, strings, and IP addresses from memory, providing a wide range of artifacts for initial investigation steps per the synopsis.
Performs YARA scans on all extracted outputs for rule-based detection, integrating directly into the automated workflow as mentioned in the key features.
Requires manual configuration of Windows VMs with specific settings like static IP and disabled defenses, which is time-consuming and prone to errors, as detailed in the installation steps.
Currently only supports VMware, excluding users of other hypervisors like VirtualBox or Hyper-V, as noted in the VM preparation instructions.
Key integrations like Clam AV scanning are listed as 'coming soon', meaning the tool lacks out-of-the-box antivirus capabilities for extracted code.
