Social Forensication: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Successful Social Engineering
summary
Two-pronged attack: collect a full RAM image with FTK Imager Lite and analyze with Volatility to extract hashes, creds (Mimikatz), net connections and certs, then deploy a rogue AP (Wi‑Fi Pineapple or alpha card + Aircrack‑ng) to capture traffic or crack WPA2. DDR4 grabs take ~2–2.25 minutes per GB (12 GB ≈ 26 minutes; 64 GB ≈ hours), a demo WPA2 crack runs ~29m12s for a 9‑char password. Detections and mitigations include Windows plug/unplug and process events, EDR, asset management and routine scanning. memory imaging rogue Wi‑Fi privilege escalation
