long time to run depending on the number of JSON files available. This will list all the JSON (ISF) files that
volatility3 is aware of, and for linux/mac systems what banner string they search for. For volatility to use the JSON
file, the banners must match exactly (down to the compilation date).
.. note::
Steps for constructing a new kernel ISF JSON file:
* Run the `banners` plugin on the image to determine the necessary kernel
* Locate a copy of the debug kernel that matches the identified banner
* Clone or update the dwarf2json repo: :code:`git clone https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/dwarf2json`
* Run :code:`go build` in the directory if the source has changed
* Run :code:`dwarf2json linux --elf [path to debug kernel] > [kernel name].json`
* For Mac change `linux` to `mac`
* Copy the `.json` file to the symbols directory into `[symbols directory]/linux`
* For Mac change `linux` to `mac`
