2010 (0x7DA) - The Year of Dump Analysis
2011 (0x7DB) - 2020 (0x7E4) The Debugging Decade

Last week I had an opportunity to present a pattern-driven memory dump analysis methodology at a global engineering conference. Now in a series of articles I’m going to clarify certain points and extend it to wider domain of memory analysis including computer memory forensics and intelligence.

Today I post the reworked picture of a waterfall-like analysis process:

 

Various phases and their relationship will be discussed in subsequent parts together with examples.
