Introduction
Sqlmap Introduction 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.
Features
Full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL,
Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, IBM DB2,
SQLite, Firebird, Sybase, SAP MaxDB and HSQLDB
database management systems.

Full support for six SQL injection techniques:
boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-
based, UNION query-based, stacked queries and
out-of-band.
Support to directly connect to the database
without passing via a SQL injection, by providing DBMS credentials, IP address, port and database
name.
Support to enumerate users, password hashes,
privileges, roles, databases, tables and columns.
Automatic recognition of password hash formats
and support for cracking them using a dictionary- based attack.
Support to dump database tables entirely, a range
of entries or specific columns as per user's choice.
The user can also choose to dump only a range of
characters from each column's entry.
Support to search for specific database names, specific tables across all databases or specific
columns across all databases' tables. This is useful,
for instance, to identify tables containing custom
application credentials where relevant columns'
names contain string like name and pass.
Support to download and upload any file from the database server underlying file system when the
database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or
Microsoft SQL Server.
Support to execute arbitrary commands and
retrieve their standard output on the database
server underlying operating system when the database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or
Microsoft SQL Server.
Support to establish an out-of-band stateful TCP
connection between the attacker machine and the
database server underlying operating system. This
channel can be an interactive command prompt, a Meterpreter session or a graphical user interface
(VNC) session as per user's choice.
Support for database process' user privilege
escalation via Metasploit's Meterpreter getsystem
command.
