MemProcFS Rust API

The MemProcFS crate contains a wrapper API around the MemProcFS physical memory analysis framework. The native libray in the form of vmm.dll or vmm.so must be downloaded or compiled in order to make use of the memprocfs rust crate.

The aim of the MemProcFS rust crate and rust API is to make MemProcFS usage as easy and smooth as possible on Rust! Please let me know what you think or if you have any improvement suggestions!

Physical memory analysis may take place on memory dump files for forensic purposes. Analysis may also take place on live memory - either captured by using PCILeech PCIe DMA devices or by using a driver - such as WinPMEM, LiveCloudKd, VMware or similar.

The base of the MemProcFS API is the Vmm struct. Once the native vmm has been initialized it's possible to retrieve processes in the form of the VmmProcess struct. Using the Vmm and VmmProcess it's possible to undertake a wide range of actions - such as reading/writing memory or retrieve various information.

Access the VFS (Virtual File System) via the Rust API to get access to the full range of built-in and external plugins.

Read and write memory by using the methods mem_read(), mem_read_ex(), mem_write() of the Vmm and VmmProcess structs.

Efficiently read and write memory using the VmmScatterMemory struct.

The MemProcFS rust API supports creation of native MemProcFS plugins in the form of a library .dll or .so for the more advanced user.

Example

Rust let mut args = Vec::new(); args.push("-printf"); args.push("-device"); args.push("-FPGA"); let vmm = Vmm::new("/home/user/memprocfs/vmm.so", &args)? if let Ok(process_all) = vmm.process_list() { for process in &*process_all { println!("{} : {}", process.pid, process.info()?.name); } }

License

MemProcFS and its rust API is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license.

Support PCILeech/MemProcFS development:

PCILeech and MemProcFS is free and open source!

I put a lot of time and energy into PCILeech and MemProcFS and related research to make this happen. Some aspects of the projects relate to hardware and I put quite some money into my projects and related research. If you think PCILeech and/or MemProcFS are awesome tools and/or if you had a use for them it's now possible to contribute by becoming a sponsor!

If you like what I've created with PCIleech and MemProcFS with regards to DMA, Memory Analysis and Memory Forensics and would like to give something back to support future development please consider becoming a sponsor at: https://github.com/sponsors/ufrisk

To all my sponsors, Thank You 💖
