The Volatility Foundation
In 2007, the first version of The Volatility Framework was released publicly at Black Hat DC. The software was based on years of published academic research into advanced memory analysis and forensics. Up until that point, digital investigations had focused primarily on finding contraband within hard drive images. Volatility introduced people to the power of analyzing the runtime state of a system using the data found in volatile storage (RAM). It also provided a cross-platform, modular, and extensible platform to encourage further work into this exciting area of research. Another major goal of the project was to encourage the collaboration, innovation, and accessibility to knowledge that had been common within the offensive software communities.
