Rose & Marinaldo: VolExp - Volatility Explorer

This program allows the user to access a Memory Dump. It can also function as a plugin to the Volatility Framework (https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility). This program functions similarly to Process Explorer/Hacker, but additionally it allows the user access to a Memory Dump (or access the real-time memory on the computer using Memtriage). This program can run from Windows, Linux and MacOS machines, but can only use Windows memory images.
