Meterpreter's priv extension is loaded by default since Metasploit 3.5 or so.
There is no shellcodeexec 64-bit yet, anyway as the Metasploit payload is encoded with a 32-bit encoded (alphanumeric), it's all fine.
* It is stealthier as the shellcode itself does not touch the filesystem, it's an argument passed to shellcodeexec at runtime.
* shellcodeexec is not (yet) recognized as malicious by any (Avast excluded) AV product.
* shellcodeexec binary size is significantly smaller than a Metasploit payload stager (even when packed with UPX).
* UPX now is not needed anymore, so sqlmap package is also way smaller and less likely to be detected itself as malicious by your AV software.
shellcodeexec source code, compilation files and binaries are in extra/shellcodeexec/ folder now - copied over from https://github.com/inquisb/shellcodeexec.
Minor code refactoring.
Minor improvements at ICMPsh tunnel to cleanup properly the dbms at shutdown and avoid checking/writing sys_bineval() UDF as it's a PE and needs to be called by sys_exec() only.
Got rid of useless doubleslash param in delRemoteFile() method.
Major code refactoring to xp_cmdshell.py methods and parent calls.
1. there's kitrap0d (MS10-015) which is far more reliable, just recently fixed
2. works only to priv esc basically on MSSQL when it runs as NETWORK SERVICE and the machine is not patched against MS09-012 which is "rare" (hopefully) nowadays.
Now sqlmap relies on kitrap0d and incognito to privilege escalate the database process' user privileges to SYSTEM, both via Meterpreter.
Minor layout adjustments.
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.
