This post demonstrates using Volatility 3 to analyze a memory dump from an infected Windows host, finding a malicious Word document (Detalii-123393.doc) that executed an obfuscated PowerShell macro which downloaded/attempted to run an executable (I3d47K.exe) and a suspicious process (fphc.exe) identified as Emotet; network artifacts include Azure addresses and two IPs (62.108.35.36 and 185.99.2.123) linked to TrickBot infrastructure. The author highlights Volatility 3 plugin limitations versus Volatility 2, details process and netscan outputs, and provides indicators and recommended next steps for deeper file extraction and analysis.
