Margarita Shotgun is a Python-based tool designed for remote memory acquisition from target systems. The tool enables forensic investigators and security professionals to capture volatile memory from remote machines using command line interface. The tool supports common Linux distributions and extends compatibility to other operating systems through Python Docker container deployment. Memory acquisition can be performed on single machines through straightforward command line arguments. The remote acquisition capability allows investigators to collect memory dumps without requiring physical access to target systems. This functionality is particularly useful in incident response scenarios where time-sensitive volatile data needs to be preserved. The tool operates through Python runtime environment and can be deployed in containerized environments for cross-platform compatibility. Memory captures are performed remotely, enabling distributed forensic operations across network infrastructure.
