Module Overview

---

Name: Out-Minidump
Module: powershell/collection/minidump
Source code [1]: empire/server/modules/powershell/collection/minidump.yaml

MITRE ATT&CK: T1033

The minidump module generates a full-memory dump of a process. Note: To dump another user's process, you must be running from an elevated prompt (e.g to dump lsass).

This module runs in a foreground and is OPSEC unsafe as it writes on the disk and therefore could be detected by AV/EDR running on the target system.

Note that the minidump module does not need administrative privileges to work properly which means that a normal user can run this module.
