SQLMap: Summery

SQLMap contains a large list of switches, and it is not easy to explain each of them, but I tried my best to explain the most used switches. 

In this section, we will take an overview of what we have covered.

  • The first topic covers, a brief Introduction to SQLMap, and we have also noted down installation Steps for major Operating systems like Windows and Linux.

SQLMap: A Brief Introductory Guide

This guide offers a brief introductory overview of SQLMap, a powerful open-source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. It covers the basic features and usage of SQLMap, providing readers with essential knowledge to get started with this tool.


  • In our second topic, we have demonstrated the first test bed to exploit SQL injection flaws. This section also covered Injection Techniques.

Detect and Exploit SQL Injection Using SQLMap

This guide provides detailed instructions on detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities using SQLMap, a popular open-source penetration testing tool. It covers various techniques and commands to effectively identify and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications, helping security professionals assess and secure their systems.

  • The 3rd topic contains, the way of dumping the data from the database. This section also contains, Interacting with the wizard.

Dumping Data in Error-Based SQL Injection Scenario

This guide provides insights into dumping data in error-based SQL injection scenarios, an essential technique for extracting sensitive information from vulnerable databases. It offers step-by-step instructions and practical examples to help security professionals understand and exploit error-based SQL injection vulnerabilities effectively.


  • In the 4th section, we have covered four types of optimization techniques and also tested them in a Blind and Time-based scenario.

Speeding Up the Process in Blind and Time-Based SQL Injection

This guide explores techniques to speed up the process of exploiting blind and time-based SQL injection vulnerabilities. It covers various methods and tools that can be used to automate and optimize the exploitation process, enabling security professionals to efficiently identify and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications.

  • The 5th topic covered, the way of reading and writing files from the file system. This is an important topic, but I explain it most thoroughly.

Reading and Writing Files from File System via SQL Injection

This guide demonstrates how to read and write files from the file system via SQL injection vulnerabilities. It covers the techniques and commands used to manipulate the file system through SQL injection attacks, allowing attackers to access and modify sensitive files on the target system.

  • The 6th topic is handling injections in POST requests, where we have overlooked the steps to exploit a POST request scenario.

Handling Injections in POST Requests Using SQLMap

This guide provides instructions on handling injections in POST requests using SQLMap, a popular open-source penetration testing tool. It covers the process of capturing and analyzing POST requests, identifying injection points, and executing SQL injection attacks against web applications that use POST parameters for data submission.

  • The 7th topic covered the three switches used to take over the operating system. Each of them is mentioned separately.

Operating System Takeover with SQLMap

This guide explores the advanced capabilities of SQLMap for achieving operating system takeover during SQL injection attacks. It covers techniques and commands to escalate privileges, execute system commands, and gain full control over the target system through SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications.

  • The 8th topic, “Bypassing Web Application Firewall using Tamper Script”, is where we have listed the way to bypass a firewall using a Tamper script. This topic is only for example, but, in reality, it is not that simple.

Bypassing Web Application Firewall via SQL Injection

This guide demonstrates techniques for bypassing web application firewalls (WAFs) using SQL injection attacks. It covers various evasion techniques and payloads that can be used to bypass WAF filters and successfully exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications protected by WAFs.

I hope you all have finished the complete SQLMap series. In the coming days, we will be going to upload some other videos to explain SQL Injection.
