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.
