Memory Dump Log Generator - Hex Dump & Forensics Simulator | Fakeact

Create realistic memory dump and hexdump output for debugging and forensics training. Simulate memory analysis with address ranges, hex bytes, and ASCII columns.

Terminal preview

Press Ctrl + C to exit. Output is simulated for demo purposes only.

Overview

This module simulates memory addresses, hex bytes, and region patterns log events with realistic pacing.

It is designed for demos, log pipeline testing, and documentation where the real stack is unavailable.

All output is generated locally in the browser and is safe to run.

Use cases

  • Demo memdump workflows without running the real stack.
  • Test log ingestion rules around memory addresses and region patterns events.
  • Create screenshots, recordings, or training material on demand.

Notes

  • All output is simulated text; no system changes are made.
  • Refresh the page to restart the log stream.
  • Use the CLI for longer sessions or offline demos.

FAQ

Is memdump output real?

No. It is a simulator that prints log text only.

Can I control the speed of memdump?

Yes. The CLI supports speed and repeat options, and the web page can be refreshed.

Does memdump change my system?

No. It does not install, update, or modify anything.

What's more about memdump?

Memory dump and hex dump tools output address ranges, hex bytes, and ASCII columns. They are used in forensics and low-level debugging.

The simulator above produces that style for safe demos and log pipeline testing.

Stack Overflow Questions

Popular questions and answers from Stack Overflow related to memdump.

How to read a memory dump file?
Accepted Answer

Use hexdump -C file for hex+ASCII view, xxd file for hex dump, or objdump -s for object files. For crash dumps, use tools like WinDbg (Windows) or crash (Linux).

What do memory dump patterns like 0xCD mean?
Accepted Answer

0xCD = uninitialized heap memory (MSVC). 0xDD = freed heap memory. 0xFD = guard bytes. 0xCC = uninitialized stack. These patterns help identify memory issues during debugging.

How to create a memory dump of a running process?
Accepted Answer

Linux: gcore PID creates core.PID file. Or /proc/PID/mem with root. Windows: Task Manager > Create dump file, or procdump -ma PID. Dumps can be large.

How to analyze a Linux core dump?
Accepted Answer

Use gdb: gdb ./program corefile. Commands: bt (backtrace), info registers, x/100x $rsp (examine memory). Load symbols with symbol-file. Requires debug symbols (-g).

How to convert memory dump to readable format?
Accepted Answer

hexdump -C for hex+ASCII. strings command extracts printable strings. od (octal dump) with various formats. xxd -r reverses hex to binary. Use objdump for structured binary.

What is the difference between core dump and heap dump?
Accepted Answer

Core dump: full process memory including stack, heap, code, registers. Heap dump: only dynamically allocated memory (Java heap, malloc). Heap dumps are smaller, focused on application data.

How to enable core dumps on Linux?
Accepted Answer

Set ulimit -c unlimited for unlimited size. Configure /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern for location/naming. Example: echo "/tmp/core.%e.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern.

How to search for strings in memory dump?
Accepted Answer

Use strings command: strings dumpfile | grep pattern. For binary patterns: grep -obUaP "\x00\x01\x02" file. xxd + grep for hex patterns. Consider volatility for forensics.

How to dump memory of specific address range?
Accepted Answer

In gdb: dump memory filename start_addr end_addr. Linux: dd if=/proc/PID/mem bs=1 skip=$ADDR count=$SIZE. Use readelf to find section addresses.

What tools are used for memory forensics?
Accepted Answer

Volatility Framework: most popular, plugins for various OS. Rekall: similar to Volatility. LiME: Linux memory acquisition. WinDbg: Windows analysis. Autopsy: general forensics with memory plugins.
