It’s been 2 years, but a new version of sqlninja is out at Sourceforge, we wrote about the previous release back in 2008 and we’ve actually been following this tool since 2006!

Sqlninja is a tool to exploit SQL Injection vulnerabilities on a web application that uses Microsoft SQL Server as its back-end. Its main goal is to provide an interactive access on the vulnerable DB server, even in a very hostile environment. It should be used by penetration testers to help and automate the process of taking over a DB Server when a SQL Injection vulnerability has been discovered.

Features

• Fingerprint of the remote SQL Server (version, user performing the queries, user privileges, xp_cmdshell availability, DB authentication mode)
• Bruteforce of ‘sa’ password (in 2 flavors: dictionary-based and incremental)
• Privilege escalation to sysadmin group if ‘sa’ password has been found
• Creation of a custom xp_cmdshell if the original one has been removed
• Upload of netcat (or any other executable) using only normal HTTP requests (no FTP/TFTP needed)
• TCP/UDP portscan from the target SQL Server to the attacking machine, in order to find a port that is allowed by the firewall of the target network and use it for a reverse shell
• Direct and reverse bindshell, both TCP and UDP
• DNS-tunneled pseudo-shell, when no TCP/UDP ports are available for a direct/reverse shell, but the DB server can resolve external hostnames
• Evasion techniques to confuse a few IDS/IPS/WAF
• Integration with Metasploit3, to obtain a graphical access to the remote DB server through a VNC server injection

What’s New?

• Proxy support (it was about time!)
• No more 64k bytes limit in upload mode
• Upload mode is also massively faster
• Privilege escalation through token kidnapping (kudos to Cesar Cerrudo)
• Other minor improvements

Compatibility

It is written in Perl, it is released under the GPLv2 and so far has been successfully tested on:

• Linux
• FreeBSD
• Mac OS X

You can download sqlninja v0.2.5 here:

Or read more here.

mssql-hax0r v0.9 is a Multi-purpose MS-SQL injection attack tool for advanced Microsoft SQL Server exploitation. Three modes of operation are currently available: info (Information Gathering), dump (Record Dump), and brute (Brute Force).

You may need to tweak the code a bit to make it fit your needs (i.e. modifying the injection string and/or the language used by the RDBMS).

TODO (v1.0):

• fix italian language support (test platform needed)
• info mode: add logins target (master..sysxlogins) [name,dbname,password]
• brute mode: automatic login grabbing feature?
• info mode: add sys target (xtype=’S')?
• info mode: implement better types/keys dumping
• add a command execution mode via master..xp_cmdshell?
• add a privileged testing mode for post-auth vulnerabilities

It’s a fairly early version, I’ve been watching it since v0.1 – it’s a little more polished now but it’s still definitely a tool for more advanced users.

I’m sure some of you will find it useful.
