what is 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 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.

>> Features:

Full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, IBM DB2, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase and SAP MaxDB database management systems.

Full support for six SQL injection techniques: boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query, stacked queries and out-of-band.

Support to directly connect to the database without passing via a SQL injection, by providing DBMS credentials, IP address, port and database name.

Support to enumerate users, password hashes, privileges, roles, databases, tables and columns.

Automatic recognition of password hash formats and support for cracking them using a dictionary-based attack.

Support to dump database tables entirely, a range of entries or specific columns as per user’s choice. The user can also choose to dump only a range of characters from each column’s entry.

Support to search for specific database names, specific tables across all databases or specific columns across all databases’ tables. This is useful, for instance, to identify tables containing custom application credentials where relevant columns’ names contain string like name and pass.

Support to download and upload any file from the database server underlying file system when the database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

Support to execute arbitrary commands and retrieve their standard output on the database server underlying operating system when the database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

Support to establish an out-of-band stateful TCP connection between the attacker machine and the database server 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.

Support for database process’ user privilege escalation via Metasploit’s Meterpreter getsystem command.

Black-box testing

Black-box testing is a method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings. This method of test can be applied virtually to every level of software testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance. It typically comprises most if not all higher level testing, but can also embody unit testing. Specific knowledge of the application's code/internal structure and programming knowledge in general is not required. The tester is aware of what the software is supposed to do but is not aware of how it does it. For instance, the tester is aware that a particular input returns a certain, invariable output but is not aware of how the software produces the output in the first place. In penetration testing, black-box testing refers to a methodology where an ethical hacker has no knowledge of the system being attacked. The goal of a black-box penetration test is to simulate an external hacking or cyber...

How to Use Your Phone as a Webcam?

A quick search on Google Play throws up several webcam applications. We tried 5 of the top 10 results, but most didn’t work properly. From the ones that didn’t crash repeatedly, SmartCam failed to show the video, and DroidCam needs you to install an app on Windows to work. IP Webcam is easily the best of the lot because it works through your browser, which gives it the cross-platform compatibility. To set up a security camera on Android, follow these steps. 1. Connect your computer and the phone to the same Wi-Fi network. 2. Install the IP Webcam app on your smartphone. 3. Close all other camera apps. Force close them from the app switcher before you proceed. 4. Launch the IP Webcam app. Scroll to the bottom and tap Start server. 5. The app will now fire up your phone’s camera and display a URL. Our URL was http://172.32.15.110:8080. 6. Enter this URL in any browser on your computer and hit Enter. 7. In the browser, you’ll see a drop down menu n...
