BareMetal-RAM-Dumper: An x86 utility for Cold Boot Attack RAM dumping experiments
By
liffik
Summary
A bare-metal x86 utility that boots from disk/USB and dumps physical RAM directly to the booting medium. It uses BIOS interrupts for booting and disk operations, and enters unreal mode to access memory above 1MB. The tool was developed and tested for Cold Boot Attack experiments, where frozen RAM (down to -60°C) is dumped before data decays.
