Description
The SMBLoris attack consumes large chunks of memory in the target by sending
SMB requests with the NetBios Session Service(NBSS) Length Header value set
to the maximum possible value. By keeping these connections open and initiating
large numbers of these sessions, the memory does not get freed, and the server
grinds to a halt. This vulnerability was originally disclosed by Sean Dillon
and Zach Harding.
DISCALIMER: This module opens a lot of simultaneous connections. Please check
your system's ULIMIT to make sure it can handle it. This module will also run
continuously until stopped.
