Fixed direct connection to always use the same query as of UNION query SQL injection (= one query with multiple columns/entries output).
Minor fixes to Firebird/Access/SQLite connectors to use connector's execute()/fetchall() as wrapper for third-party libraries' methods.
Forced conf.timeout to 10 seconds when directly connecting to database.
Slightly improved regular expression to parse -d parameter.
Added import check for all connectors' third-party libraries.
Code refactoring:
* Moved conf.direct request to direct() function in lib/request/direct.py (code reused where needed).
* Back-delegated to generic connector close() and other methods.
Changes:
* Major enhancement to the Microsoft SQL Server stored procedure
heap-based buffer overflow exploit (--os-bof) to automatically bypass
DEP memory protection.
* Added support for MySQL and PostgreSQL to execute Metasploit shellcode
via UDF 'sys_bineval' (in-memory, anti-forensics technique) as an
option instead of uploading the standalone payload stager executable.
* Added options for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server to
read/add/delete Windows registry keys.
* Added options for MySQL and PostgreSQL to inject custom user-defined
functions.
* Added support for --first and --last so the user now has even more
granularity in what to enumerate in the query output.
* Minor enhancement to save the session by default in
'output/hostname/session' file if -s option is not specified.
* Minor improvement to automatically remove sqlmap created temporary
files from the DBMS underlying file system.
* Minor bugs fixed.
* Major code refactoring.
implemented Time based blind SQL injection now is a single test file
within the lib/techniques/ folder.
Renamed lib/techniques/inference to lib/techniques/blind, it is more
approriate and adapted the rest of the libraries.
Updated ChangeLog file.
Added method to test for Time based blind SQL injection query stacking
on the affected parameter a SLEEP() or similar DBMS specific function.
Adapted libraries, plugins and XML with the above changes.
Minor layout adjustments.
