Capture A Single Machine

A single machine can be captured using only the command line arguments for margaritashotgun. First specify the server and user with the --server and --username flags. Next provide a path to an ssh key with --key (or use a password with the --password flag). Finally provide a lime kernel module with --module and specify an output file with --filename

margaritashotgun --server 172.16.20.10 --username root --key root_access.pem --module lime-3.13.0-74-generic.ko --filename 172.16.20.10-mem.lime

Save Memory In S3

To save a file to s3 replace the filename flag with --bucket. Ensure that you have aws credentials configured prior to executing the following command.

margaritashotgun --server 172.16.20.10 --username root --key root_access.pem --module lime-3.13.0-74-generic.ko --bucket memory_capture_bucket``

Capture Multiple Machines

Run margaritashotgun with a configuration file like parallel_config.yml.example

aws:
    bucket: memory_dump_example
hosts:
    - addr:     52.36.191.XXX
      port:     22
      username: ec2-user
      key:      access.pem
