volatility - creating custom profile linux


 strings jackobsPC.raw | grep -i 'Linux version' | uniq    (equivalent to uname -r command)

Using the above command you identified that your linux version is 5.10.0-kali8-amd64 on the given memory dump. But when you check on your live kali machine the version was 5.10.0-kali9-amd64 

https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/

in order to downgrade from kali 9 to kali 8 you need to download and install following .deb packages from the above link. 

https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-5.10.0-kali8-amd64_5.10.40-1kali1_amd64.deb

https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-5.10.0-kali8-common_5.10.40-1kali1_all.deb

https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-5.10.0-kali8-amd64_5.10.40-1kali1_amd64.deb

https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-5.10.0-kali8-arm64-dbg_5.10.40-1kali1_arm64.deb

Now you need to install all the above 4 debian packages. 

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

After installing the above 4 packages, it still not change to version 8. We still need to reload and swap the kernel version. So to do that, reboot the kali system. Now during boot stage, select Advanced options for kali GNU/Linux. From there you can select kali8 version or if everything shows same version then try with each one to see which one is kali version 8. Once you are assure this one is version 8 then boot the system using that version 8. Once the kali is up type uname -r command to sure version 8 is up. 

uname -r

5.10.0-kali8-amd64

now we are ready to generate profile.

https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility/wiki/Linux#creating-a-new-profile

Now install the following tools:

apt-get install dwarfdump 

apt-get install build-essential

apt-get install linux-headers-generic  


Now navigate to cd volatility/tools/linux

make  (it will create module.dwarf)

head module.dwarf 


cat /boot/System.map-5.10.0-kali8-amd64   

If system.map is not found then type:

nm /usr/lib/debug/modules/5.10.0-kali8-amd64/vmlinux   (hit enter, it will generate the correct system map)


Now type:

zip profile.zip /home/kali/Desktop/volatility/tools/linux/module.dwarf /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)

or 

zip profile.zip /home/kali/Desktop/volatility/tools/linux/module.dwarf /boot/System.map-5.10.0-kali8-amd64

 

Now go to that system where you want to use this profile. lets say we want to use this profile on parrot system. so copy profile.zip from kali machine to parrot machine. 

https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility

git clone https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility.git

cd volatility/

python setup.py install    (we are using python 2 here) 

cp /home/avi/Desktop/profile.zip /home/avi/Desktop/volatility/plugins/overlays/linux/ 

python vol.py --info   (issuing this command you should see linux profile at the very beginning)

It will show you pid of that process. Use this command to kill that process " kill -9 pid " and run dockerd command again) If " docker ps -a " giving error like " Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///run/podman/podman.sock. Is the docker daemon running? " This is because you may installed podman-docker package. If you remove the package still you will get this error but you should remove the package.

Installtion of SQLMutant tool

This tool is perfectly works on ubuntu 24 system. And I found it is not working properly in kali linux 24 version.   https://github.com/blackhatethicalhacking/SQLMutant/tree/main This tool need to use along with sqlmap tool. Showing this cheat sheet for kali or debian based system.  This tool actually analyze everything and give you the vulnerable url where sql injection is possible. You just need to use then sqlmap to exploit that.   Prerequisite: apt install pipx -y (for ubuntu) pip3 install uro or pipx install uro pipx ensurepath pipx completions  (not needed)  source ~/.bashrc   or restart system If go tool is not installed then run the below two commands first ( golang-go ) or follow this link to install go (https://mahimfiroj.blogspot.com/2024/12/installing-nuclei-in-kali.html) otherwise skip this step.   dpkg -l | grep packagename (Using this command you can check package is installed or not) apt install gccgo-go -y or apt install gol...

Installing nuclei and go tool in kali

 First you need to install go: https://go.dev/doc/install You need to download this go tool go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz by clicking the Download button.  Say you are root and download the tool in your Downloads directory. Now run the below command: tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz (if this cmd fails then you need to move this tool to /usr/local folder then run this cmd tar -xzf  go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz) Now add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation): export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin Now use the following command for immediate effect. Preventing you from log off then log back in: source $HOME/.profile go version (to check it is installed successfully) Install nuclei: go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/cmd/nuclei@latest or apt install nuclei nuclei -update-templates nuclei -u https://www.domain....
