This PR adds a new Windows plugin, windows.processaccess.ProcessAccess, for analyzing process-to-process handles in Windows memory images.
The plugin builds on the existing windows.handles functionality and provides a process-centric view by resolving the handle owner, target process, and the access rights granted by each process handle.
The existing windows.handles plugin exposes GrantedAccess as a raw hexadecimal value. For memory forensic analysis, it can be useful to determine which specific process access rights are granted between two processes.
This plugin translates these masks into human-readable rights such as:
PROCESS_VM_READ
PROCESS_VM_WRITE
PROCESS_VM_OPERATION
PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD
PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE
PROCESS_SUSPEND_RESUME
This can help analysts investigate cross-process memory access and process manipulation while leaving interpretation of the findings to the analyst.
Unit tests are included for:
Access-mask decoding
Preservation of unknown access-mask bits
Empty access masks
Memory-related access filtering
