Description

First of all I would like to say thank you to all the contributors of volatility. This has by far been a fun experience diving into forensics for me!

I have a more of a question then an explicit issue and I am hoping someone can answer it.

Does volatility3 currently have the capability of dumping a process memory in the minidump file format?

There is other projects I have noted that take physical memory and create physical process memory to minidump formats by they are no longer maintained. (I.E. Rekall framework)

Thank you again!
