Expand description

Zombie and orphan process detection for Linux memory forensics.

Detects zombie processes (exited but not reaped by their parent) and orphan processes (parent died, reparented to init/pid 1). These are forensically significant: malware that crashes leaves zombies; processes that survive their parent may indicate persistence or injection.

MITRE ATT&CK T1036 (masquerading via orphan reparenting).
