Volatility 3: The volatile memory extraction framework
============================================================================
Volatility is the worlds most widely used framework for extracting digital
artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples. The extraction techniques are
performed completely independent of the system being investigated but offer
visibility into the runtime state of the system. The framework is intended
to introduce people to the techniques and complexities associated with
extracting digital artifacts from volatile memory samples and provide a
platform for further work into this exciting area of research.

1. Clone the latest version of Volatility from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility3.git
2. To see available options, run "python vol.py -h"
3. To get more information on a Windows memory sample and to make sure
Volatility supports that sample type, run
'python -f file://<imagepath> windows.info
