limitations of using memory forensics?
Memory forensics, while valuable, has several limitations:
1. **Volatility**: RAM is volatile and its contents are lost when the system is powered down or rebooted, making it critical to capture memory quickly.
2. **Snapshot in Time**: A memory dump captures a snapshot of the system's state at a specific moment, missing any changes before or after the capture.
3. **Complexity**: Analyzing memory dumps requires specialized skills and tools, and interpreting the results can be complex and time-consuming.
4. **Encryption**: Encrypted data in memory can be challenging to analyze without the decryption keys.
5. **Incomplete Data**: Memory dumps may not capture all relevant data, particularly if the system has large amounts of RAM or if the dump process is interrupted.
