ATC-NY Announces New Computer Forensic Tool - Windows Memory ReaderITHACA, N.Y., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ATC-NY's new computer forensic tool, Windows Memory Reader, is a simple command-line utility to capture the contents of physical RAM on a suspect computer, letting an investigator gather volatile state information prior to shutting the machine down. Results are stored in a Windows crash dump or raw binary file for later off-line analysis by the investigator. Researchers can also use Windows Memory Reader to capture memory-mapped device data, such as shared video memory. Windows Memory Reader supports Windows XP through Windows 8, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Windows Memory Reader was developed as part of the Mem Marshal project, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice.

Without automated tools, a forensic investigator's job to find evidence of illegal distribution of contraband and other crimes is manually intensive and time-consuming. These forensic tools greatly help investigators reduce the time required for the analysis process. These tools are also useful to private corporations for compliance checking. For example, a company that prohibits peer-to-peer software on its corporate systems could use P2P Marshal to confirm such compliance.
