+Volatility Framework - Volatile memory extraction utility framework.
+
+Volatility is the world's most widely used framework for extracting
+digit artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples. The extraction
+techniques are performed completely independent of the system being
+investigated but offer visibility into the runtime state of the system.
+The framework is intended to introduce people to the techniques and
+complexities associated with extracting digital artifacts from volatile
+memory samples and provide a platform for further work into this
+exciting area of research.
+
+In 2019, the Volatility Foundation released a complete rewrite of the
+framework, Volatility3.
+
+The following are optional dependancies:
