Hollows Hunter is a command-line application based on PE-sieve passive memory scanner. Recognizes and dumps a variety of potentially malicious implants (replaced/implanted PEs, shellcodes, hooks, in-memory patches). While in case of PE-sieve you can select the process only by its PID, Hollows Hunter allows to select them by various criteria, such as:

list of PIDs
list of names
the time of creation (relatively to the Hollows Hunter execution time)

If no specific target is selected, it proceeds to scan all available processes.

Hollows Hunter allows also for continuous memory scanning, via /loop argument, or by being run as an ETW listener: in /etw mode (64-bit version only).

Important: The available arguments are documented on Wiki. They can also be listed using the argument /help.

📦 Uses: PE-sieve (the library version).
