Traditional memory imaging tools like Magnet RAM Capture or FTK Imager often output raw binary files (.RAW, .DMP). The format aims to standardize the encapsulation of these captures into the 7z open architecture, which supports AES-256 encryption and solid compression to minimize data redundancy. 2. Technical Framework The proposed FMCBL.7z workflow involves three core stages:
Memory dumps often contain significant "zero-fill" or repetitive patterns. 7z's solid compression allows these patterns to be compressed as a single stream, often reducing file size by over 80%. FMCBL.7z
Dividing the memory dump into manageable segments to allow for parallel processing and selective extraction. Traditional memory imaging tools like Magnet RAM Capture
By using a plugin like Forensic7z , investigators can browse the contents of the image directly within the archiver without full decompression. 4. Comparative Analysis Raw (.BIN/.RAW) Storage Cost Low Encryption Requires 3rd party Native (AES-256) Integrity Checks Manual (MD5/SHA) Built-in CRC/Hash Access Speed Requires mounting/extraction 5. Conclusion Technical Framework The proposed FMCBL
Utilizing the 7-Zip SDK to apply the LZMA2 algorithm , which is optimized for the high-redundancy data frequently found in system memory. 3. Advantages of the Format
The format supports header compression and hashing, ensuring that the original state of the capture can be verified against the compressed archive.
