Trail of Bits has open-sourced mquire, a tool that performs Linux memory forensics without requiring external debug symbols, enabling analysis of unknown or custom kernels. This breakthrough is crucial for forensic analysts and incident responders as it provides reliable memory analysis in scenarios where traditional tools are limited by the need for specific kernel versions' debug information. Mquire supports various system tables and offers a relational approach to data retrieval, enhancing its utility for security research and malware analysis. However, it currently lacks user space data structure support and may require updates if future kernels change their Kallsyms format. Prebuilt binaries are available on GitHub.
