As the PyFLAG dictionary is empty after installation, this effectively means that unless the examiner takes steps to set up a dictionary, keyword searching won't be possible. However, it only builds this index when a new source is loaded into a case. PyFLAG builds an index based on a dictionary file, which allows for very fast searching. Instead, PyFLAG offers indexed searching. This isn't necessarily a shortcoming, as performing a full file system scan for each keyword is incredibly time-consuming on large file systems. PyFLAG does not offer “on demand” keyword scanning. Microsoft should fix that in some SP.let's hope soon.Cory Altheide, Harlan Carvey, in Digital Forensics with Open Source Tools, 2011 Keyword Searching and Indexing Ndu driver was introduced with Win8 and is actually quite buggy in combination with RTL8168 NIC. The following kernel drivers were not loaded in safe mode:Īfter disabling Ndu.sys (Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver) with Autoruns and performing normal boot - voila memory leak has gone!!!! The next step was booting machine in “safe mode with networking” and I was surprised - no more memory leaks!! I made a list of loaded network drivers (using DriverView) and compared it with the list of drivers in normal boot. Therefore, the culprit is not NIC/WLAN driver at all. I even disabled LAN interface and tried WLAN only -> still memory leak. installed Win8 latest drivers from Realtek -> memory leak remains installed Win7 drivers (Win8 still not supported) from HP official site -> memory leak remains Ģ. Laptop has intergrated gigabit NIC from Realtek (RTL8168) so I tried to update it:ġ.
Therefore, one of network related driver is a problem, so let’s find which one. The driver tag found by poolmon.exe was “Wfpn” and findstr found “ netio.sys” that is the part of Win8 core networking subsystem. Poolmon.exe showed that non-paged memory grows constantly when copying big files (few 100MB). I used the tool “ poolmon.exe” (part of Windows Driver Kit) to find out which driver is causing the memory leak ( link1, link2, link3). I suspected some third-party network driver is reason for this. Just Chrome browser and MS Word were running most of the mory usage 3.5GB !?!?! The new task manager was showing that the non-paged memory pool raised very fast memory usage stopped at ~3.6GB and then machine started to crawl. When I started to copy big files around LAN (ISO files, AVI.), torrents. Memory usage at start-up was similar as with Win7 (~1GB of total 4GB) but now the story begins. New Modern UI.nice.polished desktop, speed.nice too.
I made a clean installation that took ~20min. Win7 served me perfectly for the last two years and I was quite curious how Win8 (Windows 8 Pro Build 9200 圆4) compares with it. Few days after Win8 RTM launch I decided to install it on my old good HP Pavilion DV7 laptop.
