Not sure if you are kidding.

1) WinDBG is a debugger, not really memory dump.
2) Not sure to understand*
3) It is your opinion.
4) Don't understand. Sounds like a joke, but even with that angle I don't get it.*

* If only you stopped with this weird english.

Yes, maybe WinDbg… Not that I am confortable with WinDBG, but certainly a
good chance to learn and get more familiar.

However:

- Volatility: anything has to sit somehow in the memory, so there is no way
for it to escape from the analysis. It has all advantages of offline
analysis. I don't think Volatility is script kiddy stuff. I think it is a
great tool and should be enough for my concern.

- WinDBG: here we are doing live analysis, with all the difficulties it
implies. It is long and painful. You have to read damn a lot of assembly,
thousands of calls, decide to step into or step over, when and based on what
assumptions, etc.
Of course, perfect knowledge of the system internals is required. Difficulty
will be raised if ever there are some anti-debugging protections. Respect to
the people who can do it, they are artists, but is it really the most
reasonable way to go?

0x00: MusntLive is give you now priceless advice for you must to listen:

1) WinDBG is to dump your memory
2) Is HB Gary FD Pro is used not volatility. This is because since
Greg is backdoored all his tools, is we don't find problems, then when
is HB Gary snooping in our session maybe they can find is problem for
us.
3) Volatility is script kid tool (don't is tell anyone who is use this)
4) Step over is step into. MusntLive give you good analogy right now.
Is you have choice, step into POOP or is step over POOP is what is
your choice? Step over is what is hoped. Forget this is step over,
into, above, sideways. Foolproof is method is to diff memory. Before
and is after yes. This is key to anomalies: Before and is after
