Detects the execution of 'createdump.exe' or a renamed version of it, specifically when used to dump process memory. The rule looks for the original internal filename 'FX_VER_INTERNALNAME_STR' and command-line arguments indicative of memory dumping, such as '-u' or '--full' combined with '-f' or '--name' and a '.dmp' extension. This technique is often used by adversaries to extract credentials from processes like LSASS.
