NAME
sqlmap automatic SQL injection tool
SYNOPSIS
sqlmap [options] { u| g | c }
DESCRIPTION
sqlmap is an automatic SQL injection tool entirely developed in Python.
Its goal is to detect and take advantage of SQL injection vulnerabili
ties on web applications. Once it detects one or more SQL injections on
the target host, the user can choose among a variety of options to per
form an extensive back end database management system fingerprint,
retrieve DBMS session user and database, enumerate users, password
hashes, privileges, databases, dump entire or user's specific DBMS
tables/columns, run his own SQL SELECT statement, read specific files
on the file system and much more.
OPTIONS
This program can be configured with the options listed below. The
options may be given in any order.
Standard:
version
show program's version number and exit
h, help
show this help message and exit
Target:
At least one of these options has to be specified to set the
source to get target urls from.
u URL, url=URL
Target url
l LIST
Parse targets from Burp or WebScarab logs
g GOOGLEDORK
Process Google dork results as target urls
c CONFIGFILE
Load options from a configuration INI file
Request:
These options can be used to specify how to connect to the tar
get url.
method=METHOD
HTTP method, GET or POST (default: GET)
data=DATA
Data string to be sent through POST
cookie=COOKIE
HTTP Cookie header
referer=REFERER
HTTP Referer header
user agent=AGENT
HTTP User Agent header
a USERAGENTSFILE
Load a random HTTP User Agent header from file
headers=HEADERS
Extra HTTP headers '0 separated
auth type=ATYPE
HTTP Authentication type, value: Basic or Digest
auth cred=ACRED
HTTP Authentication credentials, value: name:password
proxy=PROXY
Use a HTTP proxy to connect to the target url
threads=THREADS
Maximum number of concurrent HTTP requests (default 1)
delay=DELAY
Delay in seconds between each HTTP request
timeout=TIMEOUT
Seconds to wait before timeout connection (default 10)
Injection:
These options can be used to specify which parameters to test
for, provide custom injection payloads and how to parse and com
pare HTTP responses page content when using the blind SQL injec
tion technique.
p TESTPARAMETER
Testable parameter(s)
dbms=DBMS
Force back end DBMS to this value
prefix=PREFIX
Injection payload prefix string
postfix=POSTFIX
Injection payload postfix string
string=STRING
String to match in page when the query is valid
regexp=REGEXP
Regexp to match in page when the query is valid
excl str=ESTRING
String to be excluded before calculating page hash
excl reg=EREGEXP
Regexp matches to be excluded before calculating page hash
Techniques:
These options can be used to test for specific SQL injection
technique or to use one of them to exploit the affected parame
ter(s) rather than using the default blind SQL injection tech
nique.
stacked test
Test for stacked queries (multiple statements) support
time test
Test for Time based blind SQL injection
union test
Test for UNION query (inband) SQL injection
union use
Use the UNION query (inband) SQL injection to retrieve the
queries output. No need to go blind
Fingerprint:
f, fingerprint
Perform an extensive DBMS version fingerprint
Enumeration:
These options can be used to enumerate the back end database
management system information, structure and data contained in
the tables. Moreover you can run your own SQL SELECT queries.
b, banner
Retrieve DBMS banner
current user
Retrieve DBMS current user
current db
Retrieve DBMS current database
users
Enumerate DBMS users
passwords
Enumerate DBMS users password hashes (opt: U)
privileges
Enumerate DBMS users privileges (opt: U)
dbs Enumerate DBMS databases
tables
Enumerate DBMS database tables (opt: D)
columns
Enumerate DBMS database table columns (req: T, opt: D)
dump Dump DBMS database table entries (req: T, opt: D, C, start,
stop)
dump all
Dump all DBMS databases tables entries
D DB DBMS database to enumerate
T TBL DBMS database table to enumerate
C COL DBMS database table column to enumerate
U USER
DBMS user to enumerate
exclude sysdbs
Exclude DBMS system databases when enumerating tables
start
First table entry to dump
stop Last table entry to dump
sql query=QUERY
SQL SELECT query to be executed
sql shell
Prompt for an interactive SQL shell
File system access:
These options can be used to access the back end database man
agement system file system taking advantage of native DBMS func
tions or specific DBMS design weaknesses.
read file=RFILE
Read a specific OS file content (only on MySQL)
write file=WFILE
Write to a specific OS file (not yet available)
Operating system access:
This option can be used to access the back end database manage
ment system operating system taking advantage of specific DBMS
design weaknesses.
os shell
Prompt for an interactive OS shell (only on PHP/MySQL environ
ment with a writable directory within the web server document
root for the moment)
Miscellaneous:
eta Retrieve each query output length and calculate the estimated
time of arrival in real time
v VERBOSE
Verbosity level: 0 5 (default 1)
update
Update sqlmap to the latest stable version
s SESSIONFILE
Save and resume all data retrieved on a session file
save Save options on a configuration INI file
batch
Never ask for user input, use the default behaviour
SEE ALSO
The program provides inline documentation, refer also to the official
README file.
