OpenSSL Heartbeat (Heartbleed) Information Leak
Description
This module implements the OpenSSL Heartbleed attack. The problem exists in the handling of heartbeat requests, where a fake length can be used to leak memory data in the response. Services that support STARTTLS may also be vulnerable. The module supports several actions, allowing for scanning, dumping of memory contents to loot, and private key recovery. The LEAK_COUNT option can be used to specify leaks per SCAN or DUMP. The repeat command can be used to make running the SCAN or DUMP many times more powerful. As in: repeat -t 60 run; sleep 2 To run every two seconds for one minute.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
