V8 is the open source interpreter developed by Google to enable JavaScript (JS) functionality in Chrome and power other software. Malicious threat actors abuse the usage of JS because most modern-day browsers implicitly trust script code to execute. To aid in incident response and memory forensics in such scenarios, our work introduces the first generalizable account of the memory forensics of the V8 JS engine and provides practitioners with a list of objects and their descriptors extracted from a memory image. These objects can be used to reveal key information about a user and their activity. We analyzed the V8 engine and its garbage collection process. We then developed and validated a Volatility plugin – V8MapScan – to reconstruct V8 objects from a memory image. The runtime of the V8 engine is housed within the V8 isolate which contains its own heap manager and garbage collector. Within the heap of the isolate exists a root object map known as the MetaMap. By using the MetaMap and a object-fitting technique, we were able to extract objects, object-maps, and object properties. The V8MapScan plugin scans process memory for the MetaMap data structure contained within the V8 isolate using its data structure, references to objects can be found and extracted. Our findings were verified with Chrome DevTool’s Heap Profiler. Our approach recovered the majority of objects indicated by the heap profiler with common types such as the ONE BYTE INTERNALIZED STR type returning more than 98.9%. Lastly, we provide a case study using our tools on the Monero Cryptocurrency Miner.
