Improving Kernel Artifact Extraction In Linux Memory Samples Using The Slub Allocator, Daniel A. Donze

LSU Master's Theses

Memory forensics allows an investigator to analyze the volatile memory (RAM) of a computer, providing a view into the system state of the machine as it was running. Examples of items found in memory samples that are of interest to investigators are kernel data structures which can represent processes, files, and sockets. The SLUB allocator is the default small-request memory allocator for modern Linux systems. SLUB allocates “slabs”, which are contiguous sections of pre-allocated memory that are used to efficiently service allocation requests. The predecessor to SLUB, the SLAB allocator, tracked every slab it allocated, allowing extraction of allocated slabs …
