This module dumps memory contents using a crafted Range header and affects only Windows 8.1, Server 2012, and Server 2012R2. Note that if the target is running in VMware Workstation, this module has a high likelihood of resulting in BSOD; however, VMware ESX and non-virtualized hosts seem stable. Using a larger target file should result in more memory being dumped, and SSL seems to produce more data as well.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/ms15_034_http_sys_memory_dump
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_http_sys_memory_dump) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_http_sys_memory_dump) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_http_sys_memory_dump) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_http_sys_memory_dump) > 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.
