sqlmap

sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester, and a broad range of switches including database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, accessing the underlying file system, and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.

Usage

SQLMap CLI - Beautiful Automated Testing 🎨

NEW: We now have a beautiful CLI wrapper that automates comprehensive SQL injection testing in a single command!

Quick Start

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Examples

Quick scan (default settings):

python sqlmapcli.py -u "https://demo.owasp-juice.shop/rest/products/search?q=test"

Comprehensive scan (tests all risk and level combinations):

python sqlmapcli.py -u "https://demo.owasp-juice.shop/rest/products/search?q=test" --comprehensive

Custom level and risk:

python sqlmapcli.py -u "https://demo.owasp-juice.shop/rest/products/search?q=test" --level 3 --risk 2

Interactive mode:

python sqlmapcli.py --interactive

Interactive mode now prompts for POST data/body, supporting both JSON and form data.

Features

✨ Beautiful output with Rich library - panels, tables, progress bars
⚡ One-line comprehensive testing - test all risk/level combinations automatically
📊 Clear result summaries - vulnerability tables with color-coded findings
🎯 Interactive mode - guided prompts for easy testing, including POST data support
⏱️ Progress tracking - see exactly what's being tested in real-time
🔄 Batch processing - test multiple endpoints with configurable concurrency
📝 Automatic logging - saves all scan results to logs/ folder

CLI Options

-u, --url              Target URL
-b, --batch-file       JSON file with multiple endpoints
-c, --concurrency      Concurrent scans for batch mode (default: 5)
--comprehensive        Run all risk/level combinations (1-3 risk, 1-5 levels)
--level {1-5}         Test level (default: 1)
--risk {1-3}          Test risk (default: 1)
--max-level {1-5}     Maximum level for comprehensive scan
--max-risk {1-3}      Maximum risk for comprehensive scan
--technique           SQL injection techniques (default: BEUSTQ)
--data                POST data string (JSON or form data)
--raw                 Show raw sqlmap output (bypasses formatting)
--verbose {0-6}       Sqlmap verbosity level (default: 1)
--no-logs             Disable automatic log saving
-i, --interactive     Interactive mode

Note: Use --raw flag to see the exact same output as running sqlmap directly. This ensures you get all details that sqlmap provides without any formatting or parsing.
