One of the most powerful characteristics of Metasploit is the ability to execute programs from Memory, without writing files to disc.
The guys from Pauldotcom had this nice technical segment in their podcast. The video shows how to duplicate (or create multiple instances) of a Meterpreter session by injecting itself onto another process.

They also show now to dump the memory of a process without touching the disk.
