This is a tool that performs version fingerprinting on Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008, using well known techniques based on several public tools that identifies the SQL Version. The strength of this tool is that it uses probabilistic algorithm to identify the version of the Microsoft SQL Server.

The “Microsoft SQL Server Fingerprint Tool” can also be used to identify vulnerable versions of Microsoft SQL Server – it is based on some techniques used by Exploit Next GenerationTM to perform automated penetration test.

This is a very new tool and is in the BETA stage, so please do download it, try it out and give some feedback to the author.

sqlmap is an automatic SQL injection tool entirely developed in Python. It is capable to perform an extensive database management system back-end fingerprint, retrieve remote DBMS databases, usernames, tables, columns, enumerate entire DBMS, read system files and much more taking advantage of web application programming security flaws that lead to SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Features

• Full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server database management system back-end.
• Can also identify Microsoft Access, DB2, Informix and Sybase;
• Extensive database management system back-end fingerprint based upon:
• - Inband DBMS error messages
• – DBMS banner parsing
• – DBMS functions output comparison
• – DBMS specific features such as MySQL comment injection
• – Passive SQL injection fuzzing
• It fully supports two SQL injection techniques:
• – Blind SQL injection, also known as Inference SQL injection
• – Inband SQL injection, also known as UNION query SQL injection
