<H2><A NAME="s1">1.</A> <A HREF="#toc1">Introduction</A></H2>
<P>sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the
process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of
back-end database servers.
It comes with a broad range of features lasting from database
fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing the
underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via
out-of-band connections.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss1.1">1.1</A> <A HREF="#toc1.1">Requirements</A>
</H2>
<P>sqlmap is developed in
<A HREF="http://www.python.org">Python</A>,
a dynamic object-oriented interpreted programming language.
This makes the tool independent from the operating system. It only
requires the Python interpreter version equal or above to <B>2.5</B>.
The interpreter is freely downloadable from its
<A HREF="http://python.org/download/">official site</A>.
To make it even easier, many GNU/Linux distributions come out of the box
with Python interpreter installed and other Unices and Mac OSX 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.</P>
<P>sqlmap relies on the
<A HREF="http://metasploit.com/framework/">Metasploit Framework</A> for some of its post-exploitation takeover
features. You need to grab a copy of it from the
<A HREF="http://metasploit.com/framework/download/">download</A>
page. The required version is <B>3.3.3</B> or above. However, it is
recommended to use the Metasploit latest development version from the
<A HREF="https://www.metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/">Subversion repository</A>.</P>
<P>If you plan to attack a web application behind NTLM authentication or use
the sqlmap update functionality you need to install respectively
<A HREF="http://code.google.com/p/python-ntlm/">python-ntlm</A>
and
<A HREF="http://pysvn.tigris.org/">python-svn</A> libraries.</P>
<P>Optionally, if you are running sqlmap on Windows, you may wish to install
<A HREF="http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/PyReadline/Intro">PyReadline</A>
library 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 standard
<A HREF="http://docs.python.org/library/readline.html">readline</A>
library on other operating systems.</P>
<P>You can also choose to install
<A HREF="http://psyco.sourceforge.net/">Psyco</A> library to speed up the sqlmap algorithmic operations.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2</A> <A HREF="#toc1.2">Scenario</A>
</H2>
<P>Let's say that you are auditing a web application and found a web page
that accepts dynamic user-provided values on <CODE>GET</CODE> or <CODE>POST</CODE>
parameters or HTTP <CODE>Cookie</CODE> values or HTTP <CODE>User-Agent</CODE>
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.</P>
<P>Consider that the target url is:</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<CODE>http://172.16.213.131/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1</CODE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>Assume that:</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<CODE>http://172.16.213.131/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1+AND+1=1</CODE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>is the same page as the original one and:</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<CODE>http://172.16.213.131/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1+AND+1=2</CODE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>differs from the original one, it means that you are in front of a SQL
injection vulnerability in the <CODE>id</CODE> <CODE>GET</CODE> parameter of the
<CODE>index.php</CODE> web application page which means that no IDS/IPS, no
web application firewall, no parameters' value sanitization is performed
on the server-side.</P>
<P>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
<A HREF="http://www.owasp.org">Open Web Application Security Project</A>
rated on 2010 in their
<A HREF="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project">OWASP Top Ten</A> survey this vulnerability as the
<A HREF="http://www.owasp.org/images/0/0f/OWASP_T10_-_2010_rc1.pdf">most common</A> and important web application vulnerability along with other
injection flaws.</P>
<P>Back to the scenario, probably the SQL <CODE>SELECT</CODE> statement into
<CODE>get_int.php</CODE> has a syntax similar to the following SQL query, in
pseudo PHP code:</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<CODE>$query = "SELECT [column(s) name] FROM [table name] WHERE id=" . $_REQUEST['id'];</CODE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>As you can see, appending any other syntatically valid SQL condition after
a value for <CODE>id</CODE> 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 <CODE>id=1 AND 1=1</CODE> 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.</P>
<P>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 <CODE>[...]&amp;id=1;
ANOTHER SQL QUERY#</CODE> if the web application technology supports
<EM>stacked queries</EM>, also known as <EM>multiple statements</EM>.</P>
<P>Now that you found this SQL injection vulnerable parameter, you can
exploit it by manipulating the <CODE>id</CODE> parameter value in the HTTP
request.</P>
<P>There exist many
<A HREF="http://delicious.com/inquis/sqlinjection">resources</A>
on the Net explaining in depth how to prevent, how to detect and how to
exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities in web application and it is
recommended to read them if you are not familiar with the issue before
going ahead with sqlmap.</P>
<P>Passing the original address, <CODE>http://172.16.213.131/sqlmap/mysql/get_int.php?id=1</CODE>
to sqlmap, the tool will automatically:</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Identify the vulnerable parameter(s) (<CODE>id</CODE> in this scenario);</LI>
<LI>Depending on the user's options, fingerprint, enumerate, takeover
the database server.</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss1.3">1.3</A> <A HREF="#toc1.3">Techniques</A>
</H2>
<P>sqlmap implements three techniques to exploit a SQL injection
vulnerability:</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI><B>Inferential blind SQL injection</B>, also known as <B>boolean
based blind SQL injection</B>: sqlmap appends to the affected parameter in
the HTTP request, a syntatically valid SQL statement string containing a
<CODE>SELECT</CODE> 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.</LI>
<LI><B>UNION query (inband) SQL injection</B>, also known as <B>full
UNION query SQL injection</B>: sqlmap appends to the affected parameter
in the HTTP request, a syntatically valid SQL statement string starting
with a <CODE>UNION ALL SELECT</CODE>. This techique is useful if the web
application page passes the output of the <CODE>SELECT</CODE> statement to a
<CODE>for</CODE> cycle, or similar, so that each line of the query output is
printed on the page content.
sqlmap is also able to exploit <B>partial (single entry) UNION query SQL
injection</B> vulnerabilities which occur when the output of the statement
is not cycled in a for construct whereas only the first entry output is
displayed.
This technique is much faster if the target url is affected by because
in a single HTTP response it returns the whole query output or a entry
per each response within the page content.
This SQL injection technique is an alternative to the first one.</LI>
<LI><B>Batched (stacked) queries support</B>, also known as <B>multiple
statements support</B>: sqlmap tests if the web application supports
stacked queries then, in case it does support, it appends to the affected
parameter in the HTTP request, a semi-colon (<CODE>;</CODE>) followed by the
SQL statement to be executed. This technique is useful to run SQL
statements other than <CODE>SELECT</CODE> like, for instance, <EM>data
definition</EM> or <EM>data manipulation</EM> statements possibly leading
to file system read and write access and operating system command
execution depending on the underlying back-end database management system
and the session user privileges.</LI>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.1">2.1</A> <A HREF="#toc2.1">Generic features</A>
</H2>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Full support for <B>MySQL</B>, <B>Oracle</B>, <B>PostgreSQL</B>
and <B>Microsoft SQL Server</B> back-end database management systems.
Besides these four database management systems software, sqlmap can also
identify Microsoft Access, DB2, Informix, Sybase and Interbase.
</LI>
<LI>Full support for three SQL injection techniques: <B> inferential
blind SQL injection</B>, <B>UNION query (inband) SQL injection</B> and
<B>batched queries support</B>. sqlmap can also test for <B>time based
blind SQL injection</B>.
</LI>
<LI>It is possible to provide a single target URL, get the list of
targets from
<A HREF="http://portswigger.net/suite/">Burp proxy</A>
requests log file or
<A HREF="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebScarab_Project">WebScarab proxy</A> <CODE>conversations/</CODE> folder, get the whole HTTP
request from a text file or get the list of targets by providing sqlmap
with a Google dork which queries
<A HREF="http://www.google.com">Google</A> search engine and parses its results page. You can also
define a regular-expression based scope that is used to identify which of
the parsed addresses to test.
</LI>
<LI>Automatically tests all provided <B>GET</B> parameters,
<B>POST</B> parameters, HTTP <B>Cookie</B> header values and HTTP
<B>User-Agent</B> 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 data-types with zero to two parenthesis
to correctly detect which is the <CODE>SELECT</CODE> statement syntax to
perform further injections with. It is also possible to specify the only
parameter(s) that you want to perform tests and use for injection on.
</LI>
<LI>Option to specify the <B>maximum number of concurrent HTTP
requests</B> to speed up the inferential blind SQL injection algorithms
(multi-threading). It is also possible to specify the number of seconds to
wait between each HTTP request.
</LI>
<LI><B>HTTP <CODE>Cookie</CODE> header</B> 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. You can also specify to always URL-encode the Cookie
header.
</LI>
<LI>Automatically handle <B>HTTP <CODE>Set-Cookie</CODE> header</B> from
the application, re-establishing of the session if it expires. Test and
exploit on these values is supported too. You can also force to ignore any
<CODE>Set-Cookie</CODE> header.
</LI>
<LI><B>HTTP Basic, Digest, NTLM and Certificate authentications</B>
support.
</LI>
<LI><B>Anonymous HTTP proxy</B> support to pass by the requests to the
target application that works also with HTTPS requests.
</LI>
<LI>Options to fake the <B>HTTP <CODE>Referer</CODE> header</B> value and
the <B>HTTP <CODE>User-Agent</CODE> header</B> value specified by user or
randomly selected from a text file.
</LI>
<LI>Support to increase the <B>verbosity level of output messages</B>:
there exist <B>six levels</B>. The default level is <B>1</B> in which
information, warnings, errors and tracebacks (if any occur) will be shown.
</LI>
<LI>Granularity in the user's options.
</LI>
<LI><B>Estimated time of arrival</B> 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.
</LI>
<LI>Automatic 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 <B>resume the injection from this file in a second
time</B>.
</LI>
<LI>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.
</LI>
<LI>Option to update sqlmap as a whole to the latest development version
from the Subversion repository.

update feature is disabled.</P>
<P>There are some differences between the packages:</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>The source packages (gzip, bzip2 and zip) have all features. They
contains the working copy from the Subversion repository updated at the
time the sqlmap new version has been released.</LI>
<LI>The Debian and Red Hat installation packages (deb and rpm) are
compliant with the Linux distributions' packaging guidelines. This implies
that they do not support the update features and do not include UPX (used
to pack the Metasploit payload stager in some cases, see below).</LI>
<LI>The Windows binary package (exe) can't update itself and does not
support the takeover out-of-band features because they rely on
Metasploit's <CODE>msfcli</CODE> which is not available for Windows.</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<P>It is therefore recommended to download any of the source packages and run
it either from a shell like Bash on Unix and Mac OSX or from Cygwin on
Windows.</P>

$ python sqlmap.py -h
sqlmap/0.8 - automatic SQL injection and database takeover tool
http://sqlmap.sourceforge.net
Usage: sqlmap.py [options]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v VERBOSE Verbosity level: 0-5 (default 1)
Target:
At least one of these options has to be specified to set the source to
get target urls from.
-u URL, --url=URL Target url
-l LIST Parse targets from Burp or WebScarab proxy logs
-r REQUESTFILE Load HTTP request from a file
-g GOOGLEDORK Process Google dork results as target urls
-c CONFIGFILE Load options from a configuration INI file
Request:
These options can be used to specify how to connect to the target url.
--method=METHOD HTTP method, GET or POST (default GET)
--data=DATA Data string to be sent through POST
--cookie=COOKIE HTTP Cookie header
--cookie-urlencode URL Encode generated cookie injections
--drop-set-cookie Ignore Set-Cookie header from response
--user-agent=AGENT HTTP User-Agent header
-a USERAGENTSFILE Load a random HTTP User-Agent header from file
--referer=REFERER HTTP Referer header
--headers=HEADERS Extra HTTP headers newline separated
--auth-type=ATYPE HTTP authentication type (Basic, Digest or NTLM)
--auth-cred=ACRED HTTP authentication credentials (name:password)
--auth-cert=ACERT HTTP authentication certificate (key_file,cert_file)
--proxy=PROXY Use a HTTP proxy to connect to the target url
--ignore-proxy Ignore system default HTTP proxy
--threads=THREADS Maximum number of concurrent HTTP requests (default 1)
--delay=DELAY Delay in seconds between each HTTP request
--timeout=TIMEOUT Seconds to wait before timeout connection (default 30)
--retries=RETRIES Retries when the connection timeouts (default 3)
--scope=SCOPE Regexp to filter targets from provided proxy log
Injection:
These options can be used to specify which parameters to test for,
provide custom injection payloads and how to parse and compare HTTP
responses page content when using the blind SQL injection technique.
-p TESTPARAMETER Testable parameter(s)
--dbms=DBMS Force back-end DBMS to this value
--os=OS Force back-end DBMS operating system to this value
--prefix=PREFIX Injection payload prefix string
--postfix=POSTFIX Injection payload postfix string
--string=STRING String to match in page when the query is valid
--regexp=REGEXP Regexp to match in page when the query is valid
--excl-str=ESTRING String to be excluded before comparing page contents
--excl-reg=EREGEXP Matches to be excluded before comparing page contents
Techniques:
These options can be used to test for specific SQL injection technique
or to use one of them to exploit the affected parameter(s) rather than
using the default blind SQL injection technique.
--stacked-test Test for stacked queries (multiple statements) support
--time-test Test for time based blind SQL injection
--time-sec=TIMESEC Seconds to delay the DBMS response (default 5)
--union-test Test for UNION query (inband) SQL injection
--union-tech=UTECH Technique to test for UNION query SQL injection
--union-use Use the UNION query (inband) SQL injection to retrieve
the queries output. No need to go blind
Fingerprint:
-f, --fingerprint Perform an extensive DBMS version fingerprint
Enumeration:
These options can be used to enumerate the back-end database
management system information, structure and data contained in the
tables. Moreover you can run your own SQL statements.
-b, --banner Retrieve DBMS banner
--current-user Retrieve DBMS current user
--current-db Retrieve DBMS current database
--is-dba Detect if the DBMS current user is DBA
--users Enumerate DBMS users
--passwords Enumerate DBMS users password hashes
--privileges Enumerate DBMS users privileges
--dbs Enumerate DBMS databases
--tables Enumerate DBMS database tables
--columns Enumerate DBMS database table columns
--dump Dump DBMS database table entries
--dump-all Dump all DBMS databases tables entries
-D DB DBMS database to enumerate
-T TBL DBMS database table to enumerate
-C COL DBMS database table column to enumerate
-U USER DBMS user to enumerate
--exclude-sysdbs Exclude DBMS system databases when enumerating tables
--start=LIMITSTART First query output entry to retrieve
--stop=LIMITSTOP Last query output entry to retrieve
--first=FIRSTCHAR First query output word character to retrieve
--last=LASTCHAR Last query output word character to retrieve
--sql-query=QUERY SQL statement to be executed
--sql-shell Prompt for an interactive SQL shell
User-defined function injection:
These options can be used to create custom user-defined functions.
--udf-inject Inject custom user-defined functions
--shared-lib=SHLIB Local path of the shared library
File system access:
These options can be used to access the back-end database management
system underlying file system.

<H3>Page comparison</H3>
<P>Options: <CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-string</CODE> and <CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-regexp</CODE></P>
<P>By default the distinction of a True query by a False one (basic concept
for Inferential blind SQL injection attacks) is done comparing injected
requests page content MD5 hash with the original not injected page content
MD5 hash.
Not always this concept works because sometimes the page content changes at
each refresh even not injecting anything, 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 <B>always</B> present on the not injected page
<B>and</B> on all True injected query pages, but that it is <B>not</B>
on the False ones. This can also be achieved by providing a regular
expression.
Such information is easy for an user to retrieve, simply try to inject on
the affected URL parameter an invalid value and compare original (not
injected) page content with the injected wrong page content to identify
which string or regular expression match is on not injected and True page
only.
This way the distinction will be based upon string presence or regular
expression match and not page MD5 hash comparison.</P>

<P>As you can see, the string after <CODE>Dynamic content</CODE> changes its
value every second. In the example it is just a call to PHP
<CODE>time()</CODE> function, but on the real world it is usually much more
than that.</P>
<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 <CODE>luther</CODE> as an output that is
on the not injected page content and it is not on the False page content
(because the query condition returns no output so <CODE>luther</CODE> is not
displayed on the page content) and passing it to sqlmap, you are able to
inject anyway.</P>

<P>As you can see, the target URL parameter <CODE>id</CODE> might be also
exploitable by the inband SQL injection technique.
In case a case it is strongly recommended to use this technique which saves
a lot of time.</P>
<P>It is strongly recommended to run at least once sqlmap with the
<CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-union-test</CODE> option to test if the affected parameter is used
within a <CODE>for</CODE> cycle, or similar, and in case use
<CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-union-use</CODE> 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.</P>
<H3>Use the UNION query SQL injection</H3>
<P>Option: <CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-union-use</CODE></P>
<P>Providing the <CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-union-use</CODE> parameter, sqlmap will first test if
the target URL is affected by an <B>inband SQL injection</B>
(<CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-union-test</CODE>) vulnerability then, in case it seems to be
vulnerable, it will confirm that the parameter is affected by a <B>Full
UNION query SQL injection</B> and use this technique to go ahead with the
exploiting.
If the confirmation fails, it will check if the parameter is affected by
a <B>Partial UNION query SQL injection</B>, then use it to go ahead if it
is vulnerable.
In case the inband SQL injection vulnerability is not exploitable, sqlmap
will automatically fallback on the blind SQL injection technique to go
ahead.</P>

<P>As you can see, sqlmap identified that the parameter is affected by a
partial inband SQL injection. Consequently, it counted the number of query
output entries and retrieved them once per time. It forces the parameter
(<CODE>id</CODE>) value <CODE>1</CODE> to its negative value <CODE>-1</CODE> so that
it does not return, presumibly, any output. That leaves our own <CODE>UNION ALL
SELECT</CODE> statement to produce one entry at a time and display only it in
the page content.</P>

<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 these value with the returned
value it is possible to identify if the back-end database is effectively
the one that sqlmap expected. Depending on the DBMS being tested, a
SQL dialect syntax which is syntatically correct depending upon the
back-end DBMS is also tested.</P>
<P>After identifying an injectable vector, sqlmap fingerprints the back-end
database management system and go ahead with the injection with its

system version. Also, sometimes it returns the operating system version
where the daemon has been compiled on, the operating system architecture,
and its service pack. Usually the function is <CODE>version()</CODE> and the
environment variable <CODE>@@version</CODE>.</P>

<P>As you can see from the example, when the user provides a SQL statement
other than <CODE>SELECT</CODE>, sqlmap recognizes it, tests if the web
application supports stacked queries and in case it does, it executes
the provided SQL statement in a multiple statement mode.</P>
<P>Beware that some web application technologies do not support stacked
queries on specific database management systems. For instance, PHP does
not support stacked queries when the back-end DBMS is MySQL, but it does
support when the back-end DBMS is PostgreSQL.</P>

<P>You can inject your own user-defined functions (UDFs) by compiling a

create the user-defined function(s) from it and, depending on your
options, execute them. When you are finished using the injected UDFs,
sqlmap can also remove them from the database for you.</P>

sqlmap creates it from scratch.</P>

<P>As you can see from this second example, sqlmap firstly check if the two
user-defined functions are already created, if so, it asks the user if he
wants to recreate them or keep them and save time.</P>
<H3>Prompt for an out-of-band shell, Meterpreter or VNC</H3>

<P>It is possible to establish an <B>out-of-band stateful TCP connection
between the user machine and the database server</B> underlying operating
system. This channel can be an interactive command prompt, a Meterpreter
session or a graphical user interface (VNC) session as per user's choice.
sqlmap relies on Metasploit to create the shellcode and implements four
different techniques to execute it on the database server. These
techniques are:
<UL>
<LI>Database <B>in-memory execution of the Metasploit's shellcode</B>
via sqlmap own user-defined function <CODE>sys_bineval()</CODE>. Supported on
MySQL and PostgreSQL.</LI>
<LI>Upload and execution of a Metasploit's <B>stand-alone payload
stager</B> via sqlmap own user-defined function <CODE>sys_exec()</CODE> on
MySQL and PostgreSQL or via <CODE>xp_cmdshell()</CODE> on Microsoft SQL
Server.</LI>
<LI>Execution of Metasploit's shellcode by performing a <B>SMB
reflection attack</B> (
<A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-068.mspx">MS08-068</A>) with a UNC path request from the database server to
the user's machine where the Metasploit <CODE>smb_relay</CODE> server exploit
runs.</LI>
<LI>Database in-memory execution of the Metasploit's shellcode by
exploiting <B>Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005
<CODE>sp_replwritetovarbin</CODE> stored procedure heap-based buffer
overflow</B> (
<A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms09-004.mspx">MS09-004</A>) with automatic DEP bypass.</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<P>Note that this feature is not supported by sqlmap running on Windows
because it relies on Metasploit's <CODE>msfcli</CODE> which is not
available for Windows.</P>
<P>These techniques are detailed in the white paper
<A HREF="http://sqlmap.sourceforge.net/doc/BlackHat-Europe-09-Damele-A-G-Advanced-SQL-injection-whitepaper.pdf">Advanced SQL injection to operating system full control</A> and in the

Security Bulletin
<A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-068.mspx">MS08-068</A>, sqlmap can abuse the universal naming convention (UNC)
feature within any database management system to force the database server
to initiate a SMB connection with the attacker host, then perform a SMB
authentication relay attack in order to establish a high-privileged
<B>out-of-band TCP stateful channel</B> between the attacker host and
the target database server.
sqlmap relies on
<A HREF="http://metasploit.com/framework">Metasploit</A>'s SMB relay exploit to perform this attack.
You need to run sqlmap as a privileged user (e.g. <B>root</B>) if you
want to perform a SMB relay attack because it will need to listen on a
user-specified SMB TCP port for incoming connection attempts.</P>
<P>Note that this feature is not supported by sqlmap running on Windows
platform because it relies on Metasploit's <CODE>msfpayload</CODE> which is
not fully working on Windows.</P>
<P>This technique is detailed in the white paper

<H3>Flush session file for current target</H3>
<P>Option: <CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-flush-session</CODE></P>
<P>As you are already familiar with the concept of a session file from the
description of option <CODE>-s</CODE>, it is good to know that you can flush
the content of that same file using option <CODE>-</CODE><CODE>-flush-session</CODE>.
This way you can avoid caching mechanisms implemented by default in
sqlmap. Other possible way is the manual removing of session file(s),
<CODE>sqlmap.log</CODE> in the example above, or the default
<CODE>output/hostname/session</CODE> if <CODE>-s</CODE> is not provided.</P>
