Memory Process Analysis

In order to understand a memory process, we need to understand the following terms:
1) DLL's: Dynamic Linked Libraries, this will define the capabilities of the process. Modern day malware uses it's own DLL's to take control of the process.
2) Handles: A pointer to resource . There are many pointers like file pointer, directory handles, Registry handles, Mutex, Event handles.
3) Threads: This of process as a box that will have all the items to do the work. Many threads will run to get things done within a process.
4) Sockets: Network connections endpoints. Helps us in tracking back the network activity of a process.

# Analyzing DLL's
By analyzing the loaded dlls in a process we can answer questions like - what process was doing? You can use another plugin called dlldump to carve out dll's for more analysis. use ldrmodules for more detailed analysis of the dll's

DLLLIST

getSIDS - Security Identifiers

This will give the information about the about the processing spawning and permissions. Every processes in spawned by an account and every account has some permissions. Most system processes are spawned by system account itself. This will help in identifying malicious process.

Handles

Each process can have multiple types of handles. use -t flag to find specific type of handles.

-t Mutant

Modern Malware uses Mutant to tag a processes as captured. Excellent IOC. Look for keywork "Mtx"

Svcscan

Mainly used by malware to maintain 'Persistance' (ability to survive reboot)
