Mozilla has released an open source memory forensics tool that some college students designed and built during the company’s recent Winter of Security event.

    Posted on 16 March 2015.Mozilla has unveiled the result of a successful project executed by a group of Computer Science students from Argentina: it's called Masche, and it's an open source, cross-platform tool for inspecting the content of the memory of a system and detecting threats.

    The Masche project, started in mid-2014 as part of Mozilla's Winter of Security (MWOS) program whose goal is to involve students in building security tools, has been executed by students Agustin Martinez Suñé, Marco Vanotti, Nahuel Lascano, Patricio Palladino, aided by Professor Alejandro Furfaro, and advised by Julien Vehent, one of the members of Mozilla's Operations Security team.

    "Mozilla operates thousands of servers to build products and run services for our users. Keeping these servers secure is the primary concern of the Operations Security team, and the reason why we have built Mozilla InvestiGator (MIG), a cross-platform endpoint security system," Vehent noted in a recent blog post. full article
