## What it is
Process Dump is a Windows command-line reverse-engineering tool that dumps unpacked malware PE files and loose code chunks from process memory back to disk for static analysis. It reconstructs PE headers and import tables and supports a clean-hash database to skip known-good modules.

## Use cases
- dump unpacked malware from memory to disk
- extract hidden modules not properly loaded in a process
- reconstruct PE headers and import tables for loose code chunks
- dump all non-clean modules from all running processes
- capture malware just before a process terminates
- build a clean-hash database to exclude known-good files

## When to choose
- analyzing packed or obfuscated Windows malware that unpacks in memory
- extracting injected or hidden code for IDA static analysis
- triaging all running processes on an infected Windows machine

## When to avoid
- dumping memory on Linux or macOS
- dynamic analysis or debugging rather than memory extraction
- non-Windows PE analysis without a running target process
