Explanation

Memory-specific forensic tools (such as Volatility) analyze RAM dumps to uncover running processes, injected shellcode, hidden threads, and anomalous memory regions - all classic indicators of code injection attacks like process hollowing, DLL injection, or reflective loading, making B correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Need for more RAM): Performance diagnostics are a system administration concern, not a forensic analysis output - memory forensics focuses on what was running, not how much space is available.
• C (Preferred memory brand of attackers): Hardware brand information is irrelevant to attack forensics and not exposed by memory analysis tools.
• D (Upcoming memory sales): Completely unrelated to security tooling.

Memory tip: Think of memory forensics as a crime scene snapshot - RAM captures everything actively running at a moment in time, including malicious code that never touches the disk (fileless malware), which is precisely why it's valuable for detecting injection attacks.
