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.
