The root directory

The root directory of the Memory Process File System contains multiple directories and file pmem which contains the physical memory of the target.

The /name/ and /pid/ directories list processes by name and by pid.

Other directories are related to plugins with primary examples being the .status and py directories.

The pmem file is writable if a write-capable memory acquisition device is used.

Example

The example below shows hex editing of the pmem file which reflects the physical memory of the target being analyzed. In this example the low stub is being analyzed and the kernel page table base (PML4) is marked at address 0x10a0.

For Developers

It is possible to add sub-directories if registering general/root functionality in native plugins.
