volatility-profiles for Debian
------------------------------

Volatility[1] is a program to analyse RAM dumps and needs profiles to
understand each kernel version.

Information about the use and how to make your own profiles are available
at http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxMemoryForensics.

volatility-profiles provides several profiles generated by Volatility.

In Volatility, the /usr/share/volatility/tools/ directory has a .c and a
Makefile reponsible to generate each profile in each Linux distribution
(and MAC OS too). The make command must run in a machine that is using
the target kernel.

The main idea of this package is make available profiles to several Linux
kernels in some distributions. So, the source code used by the upstream to
generate the profiles were the kernel headers and /usr/share/volatility/tools/
directory.
