Claymore’s Dual GPU Miner 10.5 and below is vulnerable to a format strings vulnerability. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to read memory addresses, or immediately terminate the mining process causing a denial of service.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/dos/tcp/claymore_dos
msf auxiliary(claymore_dos) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(claymore_dos) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(claymore_dos) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(claymore_dos) > run
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
