What it does

Analyzing Memory Forensics With Lime And Volatility is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Performs Linux memory acquisition using LiME (Linux Memory Extractor) kernel module and analysis with Volatility 3 framework. Extracts process lists, network connections, bash history, loaded kernel modules, and injected code from Linux memory images. Use when performing incident response on compromised Linux systems.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).

It sits in Security, covering Digital forensics and Incident response. It works with Linux and Bash. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Performing incident response on compromised Linux systems
  • Tasks that involve Digital forensics
  • Tasks that involve Incident response

Example prompts

  • “Use the analyzing-memory-forensics-with-lime-and-volatility skill to perform Linux memory acquisition using LiME (Linux Memory Extractor) kernel…”
  • “/analyzing-memory-forensics-with-lime-and-volatility”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Acquire memory with LiME (format=lime or format=raw)
  2. List processes with linux.pslist, compare with linux.psscan
  3. Extract bash command history with linux.bash
  4. List network connections with linux.sockstat
  5. Check loaded kernel modules with linux.lsmod for rootkits

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Analyzing Memory Forensics With Lime And Volatility loads about 631 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~631
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Analyzing Memory Forensics with LiME and Volatility

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require analyzing memory forensics with lime and volatility
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with security operations concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Instructions

Acquire Linux memory using LiME kernel module, then analyze with Volatility 3 to extract forensic artifacts from the memory image.

bash
# LiME acquisition
insmod lime-$(uname -r).ko "path=/evidence/memory.lime format=lime"

# Volatility 3 analysis
vol3 -f /evidence/memory.lime linux.pslist
vol3 -f /evidence/memory.lime linux.bash
vol3 -f /evidence/memory.lime linux.sockstat
python
import volatility3
from volatility3.framework import contexts, automagic
from volatility3.plugins.linux import pslist, bash, sockstat

# Programmatic Volatility 3 usage
context = contexts.Context()
automagics = automagic.available(context)

Key analysis steps:

  1. Acquire memory with LiME (format=lime or format=raw)
  2. List processes with linux.pslist, compare with linux.psscan
  3. Extract bash command history with linux.bash
  4. List network connections with linux.sockstat
  5. Check loaded kernel modules with linux.lsmod for rootkits

Examples

bash
# Full forensic workflow
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.pslist | grep -v "\[kthread\]"
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.bash
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.malfind
vol3 -f memory.lime linux.lsmod
