Abstract
The method of the present inventive concept is configured to utilize Operating System data structures related to memory-mapped binaries to reconstruct processes. These structures provide a system configured to facilitate the acquisition of data that traditional memory analysis tools fail to identify, including by providing a system configured to traverse a virtual address descriptor, determine a pointer to a control area, traverse a PPTE array, copy binary data identified in the PPTE array, generate markers to determine whether the binary data is compromised, and utilize the binary data to reconstruct a process.
