Package rekall :: Module scan :: Class PointerScanner

Class PointerScanner

Scan for a bunch of pointers at the same time.

This scanner takes advantage of the fact that usually the most significant bytes of a group of pointers is the same. This common part is scanned for first, thereby taking advantage of the scanner skippers.

Nested Classes
	__metaclass__ Automatic Plugin Registration through metaclasses. (Inherited from rekall.scan.BaseScanner)
	top_level_class Base class for all scanners. (Inherited from rekall.scan.BaseScanner)

Method Details

init(self, pointers=None, **kwargs)
(Constructor)

source code

Args:
  pointers: A list of Pointer objects, or simply memory addresses. This
    scanner finds direct references to these addresses in memory.
