<sect>Introduction
<p>
sqlmap is an automatic <htmlurl url="http://www.google.com/search?q=SQL+injection"
name="SQL injection"> tool. Its goal is to detect and take advantage of
SQL injection vulnerabilities on web applications. Once it detects one or
more SQL injections on the target host, the user can choose among a
variety of options to perform an extensive back-end database management
system fingerprint, retrieve DBMS session user and database, enumerate
users, password hashes, privileges, databases, dump entire or user's
specific DBMS tables/columns, run his own SQL <tt>SELECT</tt> statement,
read specific files on the file system and much more.
<sect1>Requirements
<p>
sqlmap is developed in <htmlurl url="http://www.python.org" name="Python">,
a dynamic object-oriented interpreted programming language.
This makes the tool independent from the operating system since it only
requires the Python interpreter.
The interpreter is freely downloadable from its
<htmlurl url="http://python.org/download/" name="official site">.
To make it even easier, many GNU/Linux distributions come out of the box
with Python interpreter package installed and other Unices and MacOS X
too provide it packaged in their formats and ready to be installed.
Windows users can download and install the Python setup-ready installer
for x86, AMD64 and Itanium too.
Optionally, if you are running sqlmap on Windows, you may wish to install
<htmlurl url="http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/PyReadline/Intro" name="PyReadline">
to be able to take advantage of the sqlmap TAB completion and history
support functionalities in the SQL shell and OS shell.
Note that these functionalities are available natively by Python official
readline library on other operating systems.
<sect1>Scenario
<p>
Let's say that you are auditing a web application and found a web page
that accepts dynamic user-provided values on <tt>GET</tt> or <tt>POST</tt>
parameters or HTTP <tt>Cookie</tt> values or HTTP <tt>User-Agent</tt>
header value.
You now want to test if these are affected by a SQL injection
vulnerability, and if so, exploit them to retrieve as much information as
possible out of the web application's back-end database management system
or even be able to access the underlying operating system.
Consider that the target url is:
<tscreen><tt>http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2</tt></tscreen>
Assume that:
<tscreen><tt>http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1+AND+1=1&amp;cat=2</tt></tscreen>
is the same page as the original one and:
<tscreen><tt>http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1+AND+1=2&amp;cat=2</tt></tscreen>
differs from the original one, it means that you are in front of a SQL
injection vulnerability in the <tt>id</tt> <tt>GET</tt> parameter of the
<tt>index.php</tt> web application page which means that no IDS/IPS, no
web application firewall, no parameters' value sanitization is performed
on the server-side.
This is a quite common flaw in dynamic content web applications and it
does not depend upon the back-end database management system nor on the web
application programming language: it is a programmer code's security flaw.
The <htmlurl url="http://www.owasp.org" name="Open Web Application Security Project">
recently rated in their <htmlurl url="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2007"
name="OWASP Top Ten"> survey this vulnerability as the <htmlurl
url="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2007-A2" name="most
common"> and important web application vulnerability, second only to
<htmlurl url="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2007-A1"
name="Cross-Site Scripting">.
Back to the scenario, probably the SQL <tt>SELECT</tt> statemenet into
<tt>index.php</tt> has a syntax similar to the following SQL query, in
pseudo PHP code:
<tscreen><tt>
$query = "SELECT &#91;column(s) name&#93; FROM &#91;table name&#93; WHERE id=" . $_REQUEST['id'];
</tt></tscreen>
As you can see, appending any other syntatically valid SQL condition after
a value for <tt>id</tt> such condition will take place when the web
application passes the query to the back-end database management system
that executes it, that is why the condition <tt>id=1 AND 1=1</tt> is valid
(<em>True</em>) and returns the same page as the original one, with the
same content and without showing any SQL error message.
Moreover, in this simple and easy to inject scenario it would be also
possible to append, not just one or more valid SQL condition(s), but also
stacked SQL queries, for instance something like <tt>[...]&amp;id=1;
ANOTHER SQL QUERY--</tt>
Now that you found this SQL injection vulnerable parameter, you can
exploit it by manipulating the <tt>id</tt> parameter value in the HTTP
request.
There exist many <htmlurl url="http://del.icio.us/inquis/sqlinjection" name="resources">
on the Net explaining in depth how to prevent and how to exploit SQL
injection vulnerabilities and it is recommended to read them if you are
not familiar with the issue before going ahead with sqlmap.
Passing the original address, <tt>http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2</tt>
to sqlmap, the tool will automatically:
<itemize>
<item>Identify the vulnerable parameter(s) (<tt>id</tt> in this scenario);
<item>Depending on the user's options, sqlmap uses the <bf>blind SQL
injection</bf> or the <bf>inband SQL injection</bf> technique as described
in the following section to go ahead with the exploiting.
</itemize>
<sect1>Techniques
<p>
sqlmap implements two techniques to exploit a SQL injection vulnerability:
<itemize>
<item><bf>Blind SQL injection</bf>, also known as <bf>inference SQL
injection</bf>: sqlmap appends to the affected parameter in the HTTP
request, a syntatically valid SQL statement string containing a
<tt>SELECT</tt> sub-statement, or any other SQL statement whose the user
want to retrieve the output.
For each HTTP response, by making a comparison based upon HTML page
content hashes, or string matches, with the original request, the tool
determines the output value of the statement character by character.
The bisection algorithm implemented in sqlmap to perform this technique
is able to fetch each output character with at maximum seven HTTP
requests.
This is sqlmap default SQL injection technique.
<item><bf>Inband SQL injection</bf>, also known as <bf>UNION query SQL
injection</bf>: sqlmap appends to the affected parameter in the HTTP
request, a syntatically valid SQL statement string starting with a
<tt>UNION ALL SELECT</tt>. This techique is useful if the web application
page passes the output of the <tt>SELECT</tt> statement to a <tt>for</tt>
cycle, or similar, so that each line of the query output is printed on the
page content.
This technique is much faster if the target url is affected by because
in a single HTTP response it returns the whole query output within the
page content.
This SQL injection technique is an alternative to the first one.
</itemize>
It is strongly recommended to run at least once sqlmap with the
<tt>--union-test</tt> option to test if the affected parameter is used
within a <tt>for</tt> cycle, or similar, and in case use
<tt>--union-use</tt> option to exploit this vulnerability because it
saves a lot of time and it does not weight down the web server log file
with hundreds of HTTP requests.
<sect>Features
<p>
Major features implemented in sqlmap include:
<itemize>
<item>Full support for <bf>MySQL</bf>, <bf>Oracle</bf>, <bf>PostgreSQL</bf>
and <bf>Microsoft SQL Server</bf> back-end database management systems.
Besides these four database management systems, sqlmap can also identify
Microsoft Access, DB2, Informix, Sybase and Interbase.
<item><bf>Extensive back-end database management system fingerprint</bf>
based upon
<htmlurl url="http://bernardodamele.blogspot.com/2007/06/database-management-system-fingerprint.html" name="inband error messages">,
<htmlurl url="http://bernardodamele.blogspot.com/2007/06/database-management-system-fingerprint.html" name="banner parsing">,
<htmlurl url="http://bernardodamele.blogspot.com/2007/07/more-on-database-management-system.html" name="functions output comparison"> and
<htmlurl url="http://bernardodamele.blogspot.com/2007/07/more-on-database-management-system.html" name="specific features">
such as MySQL comment injection. It is also possible to force the back-end
database management system name if you already know it.
<item>Full support for two SQL injection techniques: <bf>blind SQL
injection</bf> and <bf>inband SQL injection</bf>.
<item>Options to retrieve on all four back-end database management system
<bf>banner</bf>, <bf>current user</bf>, <bf>current database</bf>,
enumerate <bf>users</bf>, <bf>users password hashes</bf>, <bf>users
privileges</bf>, <bf>databases</bf>, <bf>tables</bf>, <bf>columns</bf>,
dump <bf>tables entries</bf>, dump <bf>whole database management
system</bf> and run your <bf>own SQL <tt>SELECT</tt> statement</bf>.
<item>If the back-end database management system is MySQL it is also
possible to <bf>read a specific file content</bf> and in some
circumstances <bf>prompt for an interactive operating system shell</bf>
with TAB completion and history support.
<item>Automatically tests all provided <bf>GET</bf> parameters,
<bf>POST</bf> parameters, HTTP <bf>Cookie</bf> header values and HTTP
<bf>User-Agent</bf> header value to find the dynamic ones, which means
those that vary the HTTP response page content.
On the dynamic ones sqlmap automatically tests and detects the ones
affected by SQL injection. Each dynamic parameter is tested for
<em>numeric</em>, <em>single quoted string</em>, <em>double quoted
string</em> and all of these three datatypes with zero, one and two
parenthesis to correctly detect which is the <tt>SELECT</tt> statement syntax to
perform further injections with. It is also possible to specify the
parameter(s) that you want to perform tests and use for injection on.
<item>Option to specify the <bf>maximum number of concurrent HTTP
requests</bf> to speed up the blind SQL injection algorithms
(multithreading).
<item><bf>HTTP <tt>Cookie</tt> header</bf> string support, useful when the
web application requires authentication based upon cookies and you have
such data or in case you just want to test for and exploit SQL injection
on such header.
<item>Automatically handle <bf>HTTP <tt>Set-Cookie</tt> header</bf> from
target url, re-establishing of the session if it expires. Test and exploit
on these values is supported too.
<item><bf>HTTP Basic and Digest authentications</bf> support.
<item><bf>Anonymous HTTP proxy</bf> support to pass by the HTTP requests
to the target URL.
<item>Options to fake the <bf>HTTP <tt>Referer</tt> header</bf> value and
the <bf>HTTP <tt>User-Agent</tt> header</bf> value specified by user or
randomly selected from a text file.
<item>Support to increase the <bf>verbosity level of output messages</bf>:
there exist <bf>six levels</bf>. The default level is 0 (silent) in which
only warnings, errors and tracebacks, if they occur, will be shown.
<item><bf>Estimated time of arrival</bf> support for each query, updated
in real time while fetching the information to give to the user an
overview on how long it will take to retrieve the output.
<item>Support to save the session (queries and their output, even if
partially retrieved) in real time while fetching the data on a text file
and <bf>resume the injection from this file in a second time</bf>.
<item>Support to read options from a configuration INI file rather than
specify each time all of the options on the command line. Support also to
save command line options on a configuration INI file.
<item><bf>PHP setting <tt>magic_quotes_gpc</tt> bypass</bf> by encoding
every query string, between single quotes, with <tt>CHAR</tt>, or similar,
database management system function.
</itemize>

<p>
Rather than providing a target URL it is also possible to test and inject

This option makes sqlmap negotiate with the search engine its session
cookie to be able to perform a search, then sqlmap will retrieve Google
first 100 results for the Google dork expression with <tt>GET</tt> parameters
asking you if you want to test and inject on each possible affected URL.
<p>
Example of Google dorking with expression <tt>site:yourdomain.com
inurl:example.php</tt>:

By default sqlmap tests all <tt>GET</tt> parameters, <tt>POST</tt>
parameters, HTTP <tt>Cookie</tt> header values and HTTP <tt>User-Agent</tt>
header value for dynamicity and SQL injection vulnerability, but it is
possible to manually specificy the parameter(s) you want sqlmap to perform
tests on comma separeted in order to skip dynamicity tests and perform SQL
injection test and inject directly only against the provided parameter(s).
Example on a <bf>PostgreSQL 8.2.7</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>

<sect2>HTTP <tt>Cookie</tt> header
<p>
Option: <tt>--cookie</tt>
<p>
This feature can be useful in two scenarios:
<itemize>
<item>The web application requires authentication based upon cookies and
you have such data.
<item>You want to test for and exploit SQL injection on such header
values.
</itemize>
<p>
The steps to go through in the second scenario are the following:
<itemize>
<item>On Firefox web browser login on the web authentication form while
dumping URL requests with <htmlurl url="http://tamperdata.mozdev.org/"
name="TamperData"> browser's extension.
<item>In the horizontal box of the extension select your authentication
transaction then in the left box on the bottom click with the right button
on the <tt>Cookie</tt> value, then click on <tt>Copy</tt> to save its
value to the clipboard.
<item>Go back to your shell and run sqlmap.
</itemize>
<p>
Example on a <bf>Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 0</bf> target:

Note that the HTTP <tt>Cookie</tt> header values are separated by a
<tt>;</tt> character, <bf>not</bf> by an <tt>&amp;</tt>.
<p>
If the web application at first HTTP response has within the HTTP headers
a <tt>Set-Cookie</tt> header, sqlmap will automatically use it in all HTTP
requests as the HTTP <tt>Cookie</tt> header and also test for SQL
injection on these values.

It is possible to provide an anonymous HTTP proxy address to pass by the

<tt>http://url:port</tt>.
<p>
Example on a <bf>PostgreSQL 8.2.7</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/pgsql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" \

<p>
Instead of using a single anonymous HTTP proxy server to pass by, you can
configure a <htmlurl url="http://tor.eff.org" name="Tor client"> together
with <htmlurl url="http://www.privoxy.org" name="Privoxy"> on your machine
as explained on the <htmlurl url="http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en"
name="Tor client guide"> then run sqlmap as follows:
<tscreen><verb>

<p>
Note that <tt>8118</tt> is the default Privoxy port, adapt it to your
settings.
<sect2>Concurrent HTTP requests
<p>
Option: <tt>--threads</tt>
<p>
It is possible to specify the number of maximum concurrent HTTP requests
that sqlmap can start when it uses the blind SQL injection technique to
retrieve the query output.
This feature relies on the <htmlurl url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading"
name="multithreading"> concept and inherits both its pro and its cons.
<p>
Examples on a <bf>MySQL 5.0.51</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" -v 1 \
-b --threads 3
[...]
back-end DBMS: MySQL >= 5.0.0

[hh:mm:09] [INFO] performed 132 queries in 0 seconds
banner: '5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.2'
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
As you can see, sqlmap first calculates the length of the query output,
then starts three threads. Each thread is assigned to retrieve one
character of the query output. The thread then ends after approximately
seven HTTP requests, the maximum to retrieve a query output character.
<sect1>Injection
<sect2>String match
<p>
Option: <tt>--string</tt>
<p>
By default the distinction of a True query by a False one (basic concept
for standard blind SQL injection attacks) is done comparing injected pages
content MD5 hash with the original not-injected page content MD5. Not
always this concept works because sometimes the page content changes at
each refresh, for instance when the page has a counter, a dynamic
advertisment banner or any other part of the HTML which is render
dynamically and might change in time not only consequently to user's
input.
To bypass this limit, sqlmap makes it possible to manually provide a
string which is <bf>always</bf> present on the not-injected page
<bf>and</bf> on all True injected query pages, but that it is <bf>not</bf>
on the False ones.
Such information is easy for an user to retrieve, simply try to inject on
the affected URL parameter an invalid value and compare original output
with the wrong output to identify which string is on True page only.
This way the distinction will be based upon string match and not page MD5
hash comparison.

<p>
As you can see, the string after <tt>Dynamic content</tt> changes its
value every second. In the example it is just a call to PHP
<tt>time()</tt> function, but on the real world it is usually much more
than that.
<p>
Looking at the HTTP responses page content you can see that the first five
lines of code do not change at all.
So choosing for instance the word <tt>luther</tt> as an output that is
on the True page content and it is not on the False page content and
passing it to sqlmap, you should be able to inject anyway.
Example on a <bf>MySQL 5.0.51</bf> target:

As you can see, when this option is specified, sqlmap skips the URL
stability test.
<p>
<em>Consider this option a must when you are dealing with a page which
content that changes itself at each refresh without modifying the user's
input</em>.
<sect2>Force the database management system name
<p>
Option: <tt>--dbms</tt>
<p>
By default sqlmap automatically detects the web application's back-end
database manangement system.
At the moment the fully supported database management system are four:
<itemize>
<item>MySQL
<item>Oracle
<item>PostgreSQL
<item>Microsoft SQL Server
</itemize>
<p>
It is possible to force the name if you already know it so that sqlmap
will skip the fingerprint with an exception for MySQL to only identify if
it is MySQL &lt; 5.0 or MySQL &gt;= 5.0.
To avoid also this check you can provide instead <tt>MySQL 4</tt> or
<tt>MySQL 5</tt>.
Example on a <bf>PostgreSQL 8.2.7</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/pgsql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" -v 2 \
--dbms "PostgreSQL"
[...]
[hh:mm:31] [DEBUG] skipping to test for MySQL
[hh:mm:31] [DEBUG] skipping to test for Oracle
back-end DBMS: PostgreSQL
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
In case you provide <tt>--fingerprint</tt> together with <tt>--dbms</tt>,
sqlmap will only perform the extensive fingerprint for the specified
database management system, read the following section for further
details.
<p>
Note that this option is <bf>not</bf> mandatory and it is strongly
recommended to use it <bf>only if you are absolutely sure</bf> about the
back-end database management system. If you do not know it, let sqlmap
automatically identify it for you.
<sect1>Fingerprint
<sect2>Extensive database management system fingerprint
<p>
Options: <tt>-f</tt> or <tt>--fingerprint</tt>
<p>
By default the web application's back-end database management system
fingerprint is performed requesting a database specific function which
returns a known static value. By comparing this value with the returned
value it is possible to identify if the back-end database is effectively
the one that sqlmap expected.
After identifying an injectable vector, sqlmap fingerprints the back-end
database management system and performs the following queries with their
specific syntax within the limits of the database architecture.
If you want to perform a more accurate database management system
fingerprint based on various techniques like specific SQL dialects and
inband error messages, you can provide the <tt>--fingerprint</tt> option.
The order of database management systems that sqlmap tests for is:
<itemize>
<item>MySQL
<item>Oracle
<item>PostgreSQL
<item>Microsoft SQL Server
</itemize>

As you can see, from the Microsoft SQL Server banner, sqlmap was able to
correctly identify the database management system service pack.
The Microsoft SQL Server XML versions file is the result of a sqlmap
parsing library that fetches data from Chip Andrews'
<htmlurl url="http://www.sqlsecurity.com/FAQs/SQLServerVersionDatabase/tabid/63/Default.aspx"
name="SQLSecurity.com site"> and outputs it to the XML versions file.

Most of the modern database management systems have a function or an
environment variable which returns details on the database managemet
system version. Sometimes also the operating system where the daemon has
been compiled on, the operating system architecture, its service pack.
Usually this function is <tt>version()</tt> or the <tt>@@version</tt>
environment variable.

</verb></tscreen>
<p>
You can also provide the <tt>-U</tt> option to specify the user who you
want to enumerate the privileges.
<p>
Example on a <bf>PostgreSQL 8.2.7</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/pgsql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --privileges \
-U postgres
database management system users privileges:
[*] postgres (administrator) [3]:
privilege: catupd
privilege: createdb
privilege: super
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
As you can see, depending on the user privileges, sqlmap identifies if the
user is a database management system administrator and show after the
username this information.
<p>
Note that this feature is not available if the back-end database
management system is Microsoft SQL Server.
<sect2>Available databases
<p>
Option: <tt>--dbs</tt>
<p>
It is possible to enumerate the list of databases.
<p>
Example on a <bf>Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 0</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mssql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --dbs
available databases [6]:

<p>
Note that this feature is not available if the back-end database
management system is Oracle.
<sect2>Databases tables
<p>
Options: <tt>--tables</tt> and <tt>-D</tt>
<p>
It is possible to enumerate the list of tables for all database
manangement system's databases.
<p>
Example on a <bf>MySQL 5.0.51</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>

<p>
Example on a <bf>MySQL 5.0.51</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --tables \

<p>
Note that on Oracle you have to provide the <tt>TABLESPACE_NAME</tt>
instead of the database name, in my example that is <tt>users</tt> to
retrieve all tables owned by an Oracle database management system
user.
<sect2>Database table columns
<p>
Options: <tt>--columns</tt>, <tt>-T</tt> and <tt>-D</tt>
<p>
It is possible to enumerate the list of columns for a specific database
table.
This functionality depends on both <tt>-T</tt> to specify the table name
and on <tt>-D</tt> to specify the database name.
<p>
Example on a <bf>Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 0</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mssql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --columns \
-T users -D master

<p>
Note that on PostgreSQL you have to provide <tt>public</tt> or the
name of a system database because it is not possible to enumerate other
databases tables, only the users' schema that the web application's user
is connected to, which is always <tt>public</tt>.
<sect2>Dump database tables entries
<p>
Options: <tt>--dump</tt>, <tt>-C</tt>, <tt>-T</tt> and <tt>-D</tt>
<p>
It is possible to dump the entries for a specific database table.
This functionality depends on both <tt>-T</tt> to specify the table name
and on <tt>-D</tt> to specify the database name.
<p>
Example on a <bf>MySQL 5.0.51</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --dump \

+----+--------------------------------------------+-------------------+
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
You can also provide the <tt>-C</tt> option to specify the table column
that you want to enumerate the entries.
<p>
Example on a <bf>Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 0</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mssql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --dump \

<p>
sqlmap also stores for each table the dumped entries in a CSV format file.
You can see the absolute path where it stored the dumped tables entries
by providing a verbosity level greater than or equal to 1.

Note that on Microsoft SQL Server the <tt>master</tt> database is not
considered a system database because some database administrators use it
as a users' database.
<sect2>Run your own SQL SELECT statement
<p>
Options: <tt>--sql-query</tt> and <tt>--sql-shell</tt>
<p>
The SQL query and the SQL shell features makes the user able to run
whatever <tt>SELECT</tt> statement on the web application's back-end
database management system and retrieve its output.
<p>
Examples on a <bf>Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 0</bf> target:

<p>
As you can see from this last example, sqlmap splits the query in two
different <tt>SELECT</tt> statement to be able to retrieve the output even
in blind SQL injection technique.
Otherwise in inband SQL injection technique it only perform a single HTTP
request to get the user's query output:
<tscreen><verb>

[hh:mm:04] [INPUT] does the SQL query that you provide might return multiple entries? [Y/n] n
SELECT 'foo' FROM dual: 'foo'
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
As you can see, if your <tt>SELECT</tt> statement contains a <tt>FROM</tt>
clause, sqlmap asks the user if such statement can return multiple entries
and in such case the tool knows how to unpack the query correctly to
retrieve its whole output line per line.
Example on a <bf>PostgreSQL 8.2.7</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/pgsql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" --sql-query \

<p>
As you can see, in the last example sqlmap counts the number of entries
for your query and asks how many entries from the top you want to dump.
Otherwise if you specify also the <tt>LIMIT</tt>, or similar, clause
sqlmap will not ask anything, just unpack the query and return its
output.

As you can see in this last example, if the <tt>SELECT</tt> statement has
an asterisk instead of the column(s) name, sqlmap first retrieves the
column names of the table then asks if the query can return multiple
entries and goes on.
<sect1>File system access

<p>
If the back-end database management system is MySQL and the current user
has access to the <tt>LOAD_FILE()</tt> function, it is possible to read
the content of a specific file from the file system.

<sect2>Prompt for an interactive operating system shell
<p>
Option: <tt>--os-shell</tt>
<p>
If the back-end database management system is MySQL, the web application's
programming language is PHP and you, or sqlmap itself, found a writable
directory within the web server document root path, sqlmap can prompt for
an interactive operating system shell on the back-end database management
system.
<p>
Example on a <bf>MySQL 5.0.51</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" \

<sect2>Test for UNION SELECT query SQL injection
<p>
Option: <tt>--union-test</tt>
<p>
It is possible to test if the target URL is affected by an <bf>inband
SQL injection</bf> vulnerability.
Refer to the <em>Techniques</em> section for details on this SQL injection
technique.
<p>
Example on an <bf>Oracle XE 10.2.0.1</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/oracle/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" \

NULL, NULL, NULL FROM DUAL-- AND 5601=5601&amp;cat=2'
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
Example on a <bf>PostgreSQL 8.2.7</bf> target:
<tscreen><verb>

</verb></tscreen>
<p>
As you can see, the target URL parameter <tt>id</tt> might be also
affected by an inband SQL injection.
In case this vulnerability is exploitable it is strongly recommended to
use it.
<sect2>Use the UNION SELECT query SQL injection
<p>
Option: <tt>--union-use</tt>
<p>
Providing the <tt>--union-use</tt> parameter, sqlmap will first test if
the target URL is affected by an <bf>inband SQL injection</bf>
(<tt>--union-test</tt>) vulnerability then, in case it is vulnerable and
exploitable, it will trigger this vulnerability to retrieve the output of
the <tt>SELECT</tt> queries.
<p>

<p>
As you can see, all queries performed and their output have been logged to
the session file in real time while performing the injection.
<p>
The session file has a structure as follows:
<tscreen><verb>
[hh:mm:ss MM/DD/YY]
[Target URL][Injection point][Parameters][Query or information name][Query output or value]
</verb></tscreen>
<p>
Performing the same request now, sqlmap calculates the query length,
in the example <tt>VERSION()</tt>, and resumes the injection from the last
character retrieved to the end of the query output.
<tscreen><verb>
$ python sqlmap.py -u "http://192.168.1.121/sqlmap/pgsql/get_int.php?id=1&amp;cat=2" -b \
