Hanko vs Volatility
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hanko and Volatility — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hanko vs Volatility: at a glance
What is Hanko?
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
What is Volatility?
Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.
Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.
Hanko vs Volatility: editorial side-by-side
Hanko
0.0INFRA · APIS
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
◆ Current state
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
◆ Where it's heading
Hanko is filling in what enterprise customers expect from an identity provider: SSO attribute mapping, session controls and migration paths from incumbents. Releases arrive monthly or less, each with a narrow feature.
◆ Prediction
More enterprise SSO features, such as directory sync or role mapping from claims, are the likely next additions; the entries do not confirm a timeline.
Volatility
0.0INFRA · APIS
Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.
◆ Current state
Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.
◆ Where it's heading
Development is narrowing toward Windows and Linux, with output formats that feed other tools. The macOS warning is the first sign of support being cut back.
◆ Prediction
Expect macOS analysis support to be reduced or removed in a later release; the entries don't say when.
