The 8th Annual Volatility Plugin Contest!

We are excited to announce that the 8th annual 2020 Volatility Plugin Contest is now accepting submissions until October 1, 2020!

Winners will receive over 3750 USD in cash prizes!

Volatility 3

The 2020 Volatility Plugin Contest encourages research and development in the field of memory analysis. With the announcement of the Volatility 3 Public Beta (blog post and recent presentation), and the current development focus on the Volatility 3 Official Release later this summer, we decided this is an exciting time to shift the Contest to Volatility 3 plugins. As in previous years, the main goal is to encourage innovation in the field of memory analysis.

Submissions provide an opportunity to get industry-wide visibility for your work, put groundbreaking capabilities immediately into the hands of investigators, and contribute back to the open source forensics community. By building on top of Volatility 3, your contributions will help lay the foundation for the next generation of memory forensics! If you are looking for inspiration for the Volatility Plugin Contest, check out the previous results.
