Unable to validate the plugin requirements #977

Closed Eyjafja closed 1 year ago

Eyjafja commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug I get an error, although I did everything according to the quickstart instructions

Context Volatility Version: 2.4.2 Operating System: Arch Linux Python Version: 3.11.3

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use command vol -f path/to/memory_dump.DMP windows.info
  2. See error

Expected behavior Get info about windows memory sample

Output with -vvv

Hi there, the output you've provided indicates volatility couldn't identify a file format or intel layer in the file you gave it (Stacked layers: ['FileLayer']) could you please let us know which tool you used to create the memory image, that will help us figure out whether a raw image was taken or not. You also haven't included the complete output, so it isn't possible to see if any of the file format loaders failed (for example the vmware loader). If you provide the full output, we may be able to help more...

Eyjafja commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure how the file was received (I got it on CTF), however I was able to view this dump with other tools like windbg and radare2.

About the full output, I set the -vvv option, isn't that the full output?

Anyway thanks a lot for your reply.

ikelos commented 1 year ago

It is, but it looks like the start of the output was cut off. A normal run would start with:

Volatility 3 Framework 2.4.2
INFO     volatility3.cli: Volatility plugins path: ['/home/personal/workspace/volatility3/volatility3/plugins', '/home/personal/workspace/volatility3/volatility3/framework/plugins']

INFO     volatility3.framework.automagic: Detected a windows category plugin

But it probably won't provide much more information (I was hoping it might have more info around the LayerStacker running, but it doesn't look like it for only 3 vs, might need 7 for full debug output).

Windbg can read partial memory dumps which volatility 3 cannot. I didn't know that radare2 had a memory specific system in there, but it's possible? Could you run file <path/to/memory.dmp> and let me know whether it thinks it's data or some specific file version? I'm just trying to find out if the data's actually in some unusual format, but if windmp can read it then it shouldn't be too exotic...

Eyjafja commented 1 year ago

file doesn't think. that it's just data. here is the output Mini DuMP crash report, 15 streams, Fri May 26 13:04:15 2023, 0x421826 type

I ran volatility again, here is the full output with the lines I skipped earlier

Hi!

Thanks for that. It shows that it's a mini dump file rather than a full - memory dump. I don't believe that is supposed by volatility3 at the moment (and if it was I dont think you'd be able to run all the plugins S bits of memory would be missing).

Eyjafja commented 1 year ago

oh, that's strange, I remembered that volatility can view mini lamps, apparently I was wrong, thanks a lot

eve-mem commented 1 year ago

Maybe I'm wrong! @ikelos ?

ikelos commented 1 year ago

No, I'm afraid we've never supported partial memory dumps. It would be difficult to manage the waypoints and structures we use from the kernel to explore specific areas of memory without the main kernel. Theoretically, since we're predominantly able to use the symbols to find our way now that it might be possible, but it would require a significant development project and I'm not sure there's the people or effort to bring it about, certainly not anytime soon. Sorry about that. I'm guessing the CTF intentionally doesn't provide a full memory image, but windbg or similar, that are supposed to work with partial dumps, might provide you the answers you're looking for?
