Explanation

Regshot is a free, open-source Windows registry comparison utility. It takes a 'snapshot' of the registry before a program runs and another after, then compares the two to produce a detailed report of all additions, deletions, and modifications. This is ideal for malware analysis or forensic investigations. TRIPWIRE is a file integrity monitoring tool that detects changes to files, not the registry specifically. RAM Capturer acquires volatile memory (RAM). What's Running is a process monitoring tool that shows active processes and services.
