Top SQL Injection Tools
SQL Injection is widely known and used method to
penetrate into websites. since the rise of the CMS like
wordpress & joomla etc,
mass hacking attacks
are becoming more frequent as one single vulnerability in the scripting
puts millions of blogs/websites on risk. The aim of the attacks are to
gather data of interest, defacing the websites and sometimes trolling
(kid hackers!).
Here is the list of
top SQL Injection tools that might come in handy when you are checking your own website for vulnerabilities.
Havij SQL Injection Tool:
By far THE
best SQL Injection tool
that I have come across. It is fast, robust & design to analyze the
database deeply in order to find the vulnerability. Also, it is very
newbie friendly since it has a GUI and works on windows.
SQL Ninja:
My second favorite when it comes to SQL injection. I personally like
this tool because it also works with MS SQL. This tool is good because
it focuses more on getting interactive shell on the remote database
server instead of extracting the data.
Safe3SI:
Another tool with a GUI (works with windows) which is powerful and
user-friendly pen test tool. This tool automates al the processes. Right
from the fingerprinting, till extraction of info from the database.
This would be the second choice for windows users after Havij.
BlindSQL Hacker:
Blind SQL Hacker aka BSQL Hacker automates vulnerability
identification and exploitation for all the environments e.g. mySQL
& MSSQL.
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.
I believe manual SQL Injection can out run any of these tools, however,
it is pain in the ass and consumes a lot of time. Working with any of
these tools along with manual penetration can produce some great
results. I have used all of the mentioned tools and seemed to work
pretty fine.
