Popis: Memory acquisition is essential to defeat anti-forensic operating system features and investigate clever cyberattacks that leave little or no evidence on physical storage media. The forensic community has developed tools to acquire physical memory from Apple’s Macintosh computers, but they have not much been tested. This work in progress tested three major OS X memory-acquisition tools. Although all tools tested could capture system memory in most cases, the open-source tool OSXPmem bettered its proprietary counterparts in reliability and support for memory configurations and versions of the OS X operating system.
