Dump it Tool utility is used to generate a physical memory dump of Windows machines. It works with both x86 (32-bits) and x64 (64-bits) machines. The system generates the raw memory dump in the current directory, and it prompts a confirmation question before starting. Perfect to deploy the executable on USB keys, for quick incident responses needs. We are going to use its features to Social Media Forensic Analysis in Victim PC.
