DumpIt is one of the most widely used lightweight CLI tools for capturing physical volatile memory (RAM) on Windows systems during incident response and digital forensic investigations.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
Download DumpIt.exe and place it onto a clean, forensically formatted external USB drive (e.g., drive letter G:).
Navigate to Tool Directory
2.Open Elevated Command Prompt
Interactive Mode: Simply run DumpIt.exe and type y when prompted to confirm memory capture.
3.Verify Hash and Log File
CertUtil -hashfile E:\Evidence\HOSTNAME_RAM.raw SHA256
4.Output Comparison & Next Steps
Output File > Auto-generates file named [HOSTNAME]-[TIMESTAMP].raw in tool folder
Once the memory dump file is acquired, you can proceed to offline memory forensics analysis using tools like Volatility 3 or MemProcFS to extract process trees, network connections, injected DLLs, and encryption keys.
