🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Verify Volatility 3
python volatility3/vol.py --help

# Install optional YARA support
pip install yara-python

2. Basic Usage

# Analyze a memory dump
python src/memory_analyzer.py -f memdump.mem

# Use GUI
python src/memory_analyzer_gui.py

# Generate CSV report
python src/memory_analyzer.py -f memdump.mem --report-type csv

3. Run Tests

# Unit tests
pytest tests/

# Validation test (no memory dump needed)
python tests/test_analyzer.py
