sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over 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 to data fetching from the database to accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.
Features
1) Full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, IBM DB2, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase, SAP MaxDB, Informix, MariaDB, MemSQL, TiDB, CockroachDB, HSQLDB, H2, MonetDB, Apache Derby, Amazon Redshift, Vertica, Mckoi, Presto, Altibase, MimerSQL, CrateDB, Greenplum, Drizzle, Apache Ignite, Cubrid, InterSystems Cache, IRIS, eXtremeDB, FrontBase, Raima Database Manager, YugabyteDB and Virtuoso database management systems.
2) Full support for six SQL injection techniques: boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query-based, stacked queries, and out-of-band.
3) Support to directly connect to the database without passing via a SQL injection, by providing DBMS credentials, IP address, port, and database name.
4) Support to enumerate users, password hashes, privileges, roles, databases, tables, and columns.
5) Automatic recognition of password hash formats and support for cracking them using a dictionary-based attack.
6) 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.
7) 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 strings like name and pass.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) Support establishing 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 the user's choice.
11) Support for database process' user privilege escalation via Metasploit's Meterpreter getsystem command.
