Hollows Hunter is a command-line malware analysis tool based on the PE-sieve passive memory scanner. It scans running processes, or even the full system, to identify potentially malicious implants. The tool can recognize and dump suspicious artifacts such as replaced PEs, injected PEs, shellcode, hooks, and in-memory patches. Unlike PE-sieve’s more process-specific workflow, Hollows Hunter can select targets using broader criteria such as process IDs, process names, or creation time. This makes it useful for incident response, memory triage, and forensic investigation of suspicious Windows systems. Its purpose is defensive analysis, helping researchers extract suspicious memory artifacts for deeper review.
