Anti-Forensics and Evasion Techniques

Attackers employ various techniques to evade memory forensics:

Common Anti-Forensics Methods:

Process Hiding: Unlinking from process lists
Direct Kernel Object Manipulation: Modifying kernel structures
Rootkit Techniques: Hooking and filtering APIs
Memory Wiping: Overwriting sensitive data
Encryption: Protecting malware components

Detection Strategies:

Cross-reference multiple data sources
Look for anomalies in kernel structures
Check for signs of manipulation
Analyze raw memory regions
Validate system integrity
