Belkasoft Live RAM Capturer¶
What Belkasoft Live RAM Capturer does¶
Volatile-memory acquisition
Belkasoft Live RAM Capturer is a Windows memory-acquisition utility that writes
physical memory to a .mem file for later forensic analysis. Its focused
graphical workflow lets an investigator choose a controlled output folder,
load the acquisition driver, capture memory and preserve the result.
Use it when an investigation question depends on state that may disappear after process termination, containment or shutdown. Acquisition preserves a time-bounded view; it does not prove malicious intent or create a perfectly atomic snapshot.
How the workflow fits together¶
Before capture
Establish the boundary¶
Record authority, source identity, installed RAM, system time, tool provenance and a controlled destination with sufficient capacity.
During capture
Monitor the source¶
Confirm the displayed memory size, preserve driver and progress messages, and minimise unrelated interaction with the live endpoint.
After capture
Verify the output¶
Record the .mem path and byte size, calculate SHA-256 independently, protect
the acquisition copy and analyse only a verified working copy.
Live acquisition changes the source
The utility, driver, processor and destination writes alter live memory while it is read. Record timing, errors and inaccessible data, and corroborate important findings with independent evidence.
