+      Fox-ITs Python-Framework abstrahiert Windows- und Linux-Speicherabbilder
+      in virtuelle Objekte (Prozesse, Dateien, Registry, Kernel-Strukturen),
+      ohne zuvor ein Profil definieren zu müssen. Modularer
+      Hypervisor-Layer erlaubt das Mounten und gleichzeitige Analysieren
+      mehrerer Memory-Dumps – perfekt für großflächige Incident-Response.
+      Plugins dekodieren PTEs, handle tables, APC-Queues und liefern
+      YARA-kompatible Scans. Die Zero-Copy-Architektur beschleunigt Queries auf
+      Multi-GB-Images signifikant. Unterstützt Windows 11 24H2-Kernel sowie
+      Linux 6.x-schichten ab Juli 2025.
