Lsass Shtinkering

New method of dumping LSASS by abusing the Windows Error Reporting service. It sends a message to the service with the ALPC protocol to report an exception on LSASS. This report will cause the service to dump the memory of LSASS.

Prerequisites

The registry value "DumpType" under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" should be set to 2.
