## Vulnerable Application

This module allows for searching the memory space of running processes using Meterpreter's
`stdapi_sys_process_memory_search` command for potentially sensitive data such as passwords.

## Verification Steps

1. Start `msfconsole`
1. Get a Meterpreter session
1. Do: `use post/multi/gather/memory_search`
1. Do: `set SESSION <Session ID>`
1. Do: `set PROCESS_NAMES_GLOB <process_names_regex>`
1. Do: `set PROCESS_IDS <Process ID>`
1. Do: `set REGEX <regex>`
1. Do: `run`

## Options

### PROCESS_NAMES_GLOB

Regular expression used to target processes. (default: `ssh.*`)

### PROCESS_IDS

Comma delimited process ID/IDs to search through. (default: `nil`)

### REGEX

Regular expression to search for within memory. (default: `publickey,password.*`)

### MIN_MATCH_LEN

The minimum number of bytes to match. (default: `5`)

### MAX_MATCH_LEN

The maximum number of bytes to match. (default: `127`)

### REPLACE_NON_PRINTABLE_BYTES

Replace non-printable bytes with ".". (default: `true`)

### SAVE_LOOT

Save the memory matches to loot. (default: `true`)


## Scenarios

### Windows 10 - OpenSSH_9.4p1, OpenSSL 3.1.2 1 Aug 2023

In this scenario, the Windows target is connected to a different host using `ssh.exe` using the password `myverysecretpassword`:
```
msf6 post(multi/gather/memory_search) > sessions

```

### Windows 10 - Python3 HTTP Server

In this scenario, the Windows target is running the `http.server` module in Python:
```
msf6 post(multi/gather/memory_search) > sessions
