Highlight from Mquire: Open-Source Linux Memory Forensics Tool

After loading a dump, mquire exposes an interactive SQL interface. The design draws directly from osquery, the system instrumentation tool that lets analysts query operating system state using SQL. Alessandro Gario, the tool’s primary author, wrote: “This is something I’ve wanted to build ever since my first Querycon, where I discussed forensics capabilities with other osquery maintainers. The idea of bringing osquery’s intuitive, SQL-based exploration model to memory forensics has been on my mind for years, and mquire is the realization of that vision.”
