 :WinPmem is a free, actively developed, opensource forensic memory acquisition tool for Windows. It supports Windows XP to Windows 8, both 32 and 64 bit architectures. It can produce raw dumps as well as dumps in crashdump format (for analysis with Volatility or windbg). It supports output to STDOUT for piping the dump through tools like netcat or ssh. WinPmem can be used together with the Volatility Technology Preview to analyse a live windows system for live response and triaging.

 ; Virtual Machine Imaging
 : There are numerous popular virtual machines that are in wide use such as xen, qemu or vmware. If the memory image is for a machine running in this kind of virtual environment, there are usually two methods for obtaining a memory image. The common method is to pause/suspend/stop the system and then collect the resulting memory image file, this has the disadvantage of taking the machine offline during the suspend time. Alternatively most of these systems support live dumping of a memory image. [http://www.qemu.org Qemu ] supports the pmemsave function, [http://www.xen.org Xen] has the xm dump-core command.
