How To Use Sqlmap

sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.

sqlmap is the result of numerous hours of passionated work from a small team of computer security enthusiasts. If you appreciated our work and you want to see sqlmap kept being developed, please consider making a donation or sponsor our efforts via Sponsor page or via PayPal.

Greetings all, I am stuck on the attack tuning portion of sqlmap essentials. Flag and Case # 7 to be exact. I have tried many different flags based on what I read so far in the course. Can someone help me out please? Thank you. The hint is " Try to count the number of columns in the page output, and specify them for sqlmap." How do I go about counting the columns?

so should I be targeting the columns that are displayed on the website then? I am pretty sure I found that it has 76 columns running sqlmap but adding --union-cols=76 so far has not provided anything new, and is super slow to complete or times out. Thank you for the help!

Me too had similar problem in windows, i was having python 3.5(and its path set in environment variables), so i installed python 2.7 from their site.then i did the following to start sqlmap

I'm a student learning php & mysql development. i have setup a private lab ( VM ) inside my computer to test & learn how sql injection works. When things get harder i use sqlmap to exploit and later on study the requests it made to my test app using verbose mode & by capturing packets via wireshark. I came across a small problem and that's to specify the parameter in a URL to sqlmap to test.

To get started with sqlmap, it is a matter of downloading the tool, unpacking it, and running the command with the necessary options. As there may be Windows users amongst you, I'll first start with how to get an Ubuntu install up and running. It is easy to get started on an Ubuntu Linux system, even if the thought of Linux sends shivering spasms of fear. Who knows, you may even like it.

If you run Microsoft Windows as your main operating system, it is convenient and simple to run an install of Ubuntu Linux (or Kali Linux) in a virtual machine. You can then play with sqlmap, nmap, nikto and openvas along with a hundred other powerful open source security tools.

At first I focused my attention on the driver, thinking that my Surface laptop was not configured properly. I had just rebuilt the machine a few weeks ago, so it was reasonable to think something was amiss. However, it soon dawned on me that my attention should focus on SQLAlchemy, as that was being used by sqlmap to create the connection. So I decided that I would start running some tests using SQLAlchemy.

I needed to add the @dbserver to the end of the login, and I needed to assign a default driver. Here I chose to use pymssql. This syntax allows me to connect SQLAlchemy to an Azure SQL Database. Now that I was able to make a connection from my laptop, I went back to sqlmap.

Again, I consider this to be a sign of progress. It is a different error message, here sqlmap is clearly telling me there is a syntax error. Since I made two changes to the string, I decided to remove one and see if that works. My next test was the following:

Connecting to Azure SQL Database with sqlmap is easy, just remember the login@dbserver format. From there you can enumerate objects, open a shell, or run custom SQL injection scripts. This flexibility makes sqlmap a great tool to use for penetration testing. I also use sqlmap to test alerts configured with Advanced Threat Protection.

I've just recently been reviewing documentation for SQLMap and was a little alarmed to see references to Metasploit and uploading of binaries. Until now I thought sqlmap was a passive scanner that would expose data that was previously considered secure, but now I am worried that the act of running SQLMap may have left new vulnerabilities behind.

In some instances, like a SQL injection in an UPDATE statement, injecting an OR-based payload can lead to an update of all the entries of the table, which is certainly not what the attacker wants. For this reason and others this option has been introduced: the user has control over which payloads get tested, the user can arbitrarily choose to use also potentially dangerous ones. As per the previous option, the payloads used by sqlmap are specified in the textual file xml/payloads.xml and you are free to edit and add your owns.

By default, sqlmap performs HTTP requests with the user-agent like: sqlmap/1.2.4#stable ( ), which can get you blocked by some firewalls even before you start. So the next step is to change it to something more real. There are three options on how to do that, you can either specify custom user-agent header with --user-agent, use random one --random-agent or even imitate smartphone with --mobile.

If you are hunting for bugs only with Burp Suite Community Edition, you can also leverage some advantages to be able to effectively find SQLi vulnerabilities. Most of you probably already know about the Burp SQLiPy extension, or open-source tools leveraging sqlmap API like SQLiScanner or SQLi-Hunter.

I would like to show you another useful feature. Let's say that you are browsing the target web application with Burp Suite and have a bunch of requests in Burp's HTTP history. You can select everything with CRTL+A, then continue with a right-click and "Save items" option. Just like this, it is possible to export the whole HTTP history as an XML file, for example: "burp_history.xml". With sqlmaps' -l option, just specify the log file:

The thing that was bothering me the most, if I'm running a lot of different scans, how the bash script can differentiate between them. For example, each scan can have unique identification ID, but it would be cool if the bash script could notify me with the whole sqlmap command with all the parameters used. After a lot of trial/error bash fu, I came up with the following solution:

The --batch option will tell the sqlmap to never ask for user input and always use the default behavior. There is a ton of other useful features, it is always recommended to experiment and find what will suit you the best.

While testing for SQLi, don't forget that every user input might be vulnerable. There might be a vulnerability in cookies, headers like referer, host etc. Quite recently on /r/bugbounty, I released a CTF challenge to celebrate 5k subscribers. The solution was blind SQLi in insert (sqlite database), and the vulnerable parameter was user-agent. It took a bunch of researchers a lot of hours and tens/hundreds of thousands of requests to find it. It could be found quite easily just with running sqlmap and increasing--level and --risk options and speed up fingerprinting and specifying the right database. Always try harder and look beyond the low hanging fruits!

I am using sqlmap to test my website for vulnerabilities. However rather than testing for vulnerable variables in URL, I would like to test if cookie values are subject to sql injection. Is there a way to do it via sqlmap? And if not is there a tool for that?

By default sqlmap tests all GET parameters and POST parameters. When the value of --level is >= 2 it tests also HTTP Cookie header values. When this value is >= 3 it tests also HTTP User-Agent and HTTP Referer header value for SQL injections. It is however possible to manually specify a comma-separated list of parameter(s) that you want sqlmap to test. This will bypass the dependence on value of --level too.

sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates theprocess of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking overof database servers. It comes with a powerful detection engine, manyniche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range ofswitches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching fromthe database, to accessing the underlying file system and executingcommands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.

Once the WAF is identified, we can use the tamper script to attack the WAF-protected applications. The tamper script can modify the request to escape WAF detection. The scripts can be found under /usr/share/sqlmap/tamper/ directory.

sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of back-end database servers. It comes with a broad range of features, from database fingerprinting to fetching data from the DB and accessing the underlying file system and executing OS commands via out-of-band connections.

For a POST requests, the parameters are located in the body section of an HTTP request and therefore, additional steps are required before sqlmap is able to detect and test the parameters for vulnerability.

In in-band attacks, the attacker can launch the attack and view results through the same channel (band), such as via a console shell or web application. The four most popular in-band injection techniques are error-based, union-based, stacked queries, and inline queries. (sqlmap option: --technique) ff782bc1db
