+Volatility Framework - Volatile memory extraction utility framework.
+
+The Volatility Framework is a completely open collection of tools,
+implemented in Python under the GNU General Public License, for the
+extraction of digital artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples.
+The extraction techniques are performed completely independent of the
+system being investigated but offer visibilty 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.
