# !dump (save the physical memory into a file)

### Command

> !dump

### Syntax

> !dump \[FromAddress (hex)] \[ToAddress (hex)] \[path Path (string)]

### Description

Saves a range of the **physical** memory into a file.

### Parameters

**\[FromAddress (hex)]**

The start **physical** address of where it needs to be dumped.

**\[ToAddress (hex)]**

The end of the **physical** address of where it needs to be dumped.

**\[path Path (string)]**

The path of where the dump file needs to be saved.

### Examples

The following command saves the physical memory from the address `bd000` to `bf000` in the file `c:\rev\dump1.dmp`.

```
HyperDbg> .dump bd000 bf000 path c:\rev\dump1.dmp
the dump file is saved at: c:\rev\dump1.dmp
```

The following command saves the physical memory from the address `bd000` to `bd000+6000` in the file `c:\rev\dump2.dmp`.

```diff
HyperDbg> .dump bd000 bd000+6000 path c:\rev\dump2.dmp
the dump file is saved at: c:\rev\dump2.dmp
```

### IOCTL

The '[.dump](https://docs.hyperdbg.org/commands/meta-commands/.dump)' command is used for dumping the **virtual** memory.

This command reads the memory in the 4KB chunks and is the same as [this](https://docs.hyperdbg.org/commands/extension-commands/d#ioctl) command, just you have to set the memory reading `Style` to `DEBUGGER_SHOW_COMMAND_DUMP`.

### Remarks

Starting from **v0.6**, this command was added to the HyperDbg debugger.

This command is guaranteed to keep debuggee in a halt state (in Debugger Mode); thus, nothing will change during its execution.

### Requirements

None

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hyperdbg.org/commands/extension-commands/dump.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
