   • Key Points:

     • Run the malware in your environment.

     • Use Dumpit to capture the memory.

     • For large RAM systems, use compression options to speed up the process.

2. Memory Analysis:

   • What it is: Analyzing the captured memory to extract malware artifacts.

   • Steps:

     • After capturing the memory, analyze it to identify and extract malware-related data.

     • This helps in understanding the behavior and impact of the malware.
