I intend to orphan the volatility package.
The package description is:
The Volatility Framework is a completely open collection of tools for
the extraction of digital artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples.
It is useful in forensics analysis. The extraction techniques are
performed completely independent of the system being investigated but
offer unprecedented visibility into the runtime state of the system.
.
Volatility supports memory dumps from all major 32- and 64-bit Windows
versions and service packs. Whether your memory dump is in raw format,
a Microsoft crash dump, hibernation file, or virtual machine snapshot,
Volatility is able to work with it.
.
Linux memory dumps in raw or LiME format are supported too. There are
several plugins for analyzing memory dumps from 32- and 64-bit Linux
kernels and relevant distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE,
RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva, etc.
.
Volatility also support several versions of Mac OSX memory dumps, both
32- and 64-bit. Android phones with ARM processors are also supported.
.
These are some of the data that can be extracted from a memory image:
- Image information (date, time, CPU count);
- Running processes;
- Open network sockets and connections;
- OS kernel modules loaded;
- Memory maps for each process;
- Executables samples;
- Command history;
- Suspicious process mappings (i.e. injected code);
- Passwords, as LM/NTLM hashes and LSA secrets;
- Cached Truecrypt passphrases;
- Others.
.
Current version (2.6) supports investigations of the memory images from
the following operational systems:
- 32-bit Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3
- 32-bit Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 0, 1, 2
- 32-bit Windows Vista Service Pack 0, 1, 2
- 32-bit Windows 2008 Server Service Pack 1, 2 (there is no SP0)

- 32-bit Windows 10 (initial support)

- 64-bit Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1 and 2 (there is no SP0)
- 64-bit Windows Vista Service Pack 0, 1, 2
- 64-bit Windows 2008 Server Service Pack 1 and 2 (there is no SP0)
- 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 Server Service Pack 0 and 1

- 32-bit Linux kernels 2.6.11 to 4.2.3
- 64-bit Linux kernels 2.6.11 to 4.2.3
- 32-bit 10.5.x Leopard (the only 64-bit 10.5 is Server, which isn't
supported)
- 32-bit 10.6.x Snow Leopard
- 64-bit 10.6.x Snow Leopard
