Volatility Error - The requested file doesn't exist

Question

I am running the program Volatility on a Kali Linux machine. However, whenever I try the command

vol -f <memdump name> <plugin name>

I get the error

ERROR: volatility.plugins.fileparam: The requested file doesn't exist

I tried downloading the source code and running Volatility as a python script, and I've tried changing and for the command above, but the error persists.

Any idea how to fix it?

Answer 1

Replacing the memdump name with the absolute path of the memdump name seems to do the trick. This is clearly a bug with the program.

Answer 2

This is Bug. O.K. No solution at all, that's also O.K. Replacing file name with full path, doesn't appear to work.
