# Volatility Plugin

## malprocfind

```
volatility malprocfind -f memory-image.vmem --profile=Win7SP0x86
```

The output will provide you a true or false for each check. If the check is false it means it failed the check.

The plugin will check for the following:

* PID = The right parent process ID
* Name = Process name is correct (not misspelled)
* Path = Process path is correct
* Priority = Right priority
* Cmdline = Command line parameters are correct
* User = Right user (SID)
* Session/Time = Correct Session and time started (Most system processes run in session 0)
* CMD = Was process spawned from the command line?
* Phollow = Does the process show signs of process hollowing?  (Will discuss more later)
* SPath = Looks for suspicious paths like temp directory

In addition, it will show a count of unusual processes as well as processes with no parent process.
