Checked October 2026.

## What is AMExtractor?

AMExtractor is a digital forensics tool designed for Android memory acquisition that operates without requiring kernel source code access. The tool utilizes the /dev/kmem interface to execute code within kernel space, enabling the extraction of physical memory content from Android devices.

The tool provides an alternative approach to Linux Kernel Module (LKM) based memory acquisition tools like LiME by leveraging direct kernel memory access. AMExtractor has been validated on multiple Android devices including Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Samsung Galaxy S4.

The memory dumping capability allows forensic investigators to capture volatile data from Android devices for analysis purposes. By accessing physical memory content, the tool enables the preservation of runtime information that may be critical for digital investigations.
