If you have ever lost or forgotten your Mysql database password then MysqlPasswordAuditor can help in recovering it easily. It can also help you to audit Mysql database server setup in an corporate environment by discovering the weak password configurations. This makes it one of the must have tool for IT administrators & Penetration Testers.

MysqlPasswordAuditor is very easy to use with the simple dictionary based password recovery method. By default it includes small password list file, however you can find more password dictionary files at OpenWall collection. You can also use tools like Crunch, Cupp to generate custom password list files on your own and then use it with MysqlPasswordAuditor.

MysqlPasswordAuditor works on wide range of platforms starting from Windows XP to latest operating system Windows 7.

Features

• Free and Simple software to Recover/Audit Mysql Password.
• Very useful for IT administrators & Penetration Testers
• Dictionary based Password Recovery method
• Detailed statistics such as tested passwords, elapsed time, progress bar is displayed during Audit operation.
• Simple, easy to use GUI interface
• Integrated Installer for local Installation & Uninstallation.

sqlsus focuses on speed and efficiency, optimising the available injection space, making the best use (I can think of) of MySQL functions. It uses stacked subqueries and an powerful blind injection algorithm to maximise the data gathered per web server hit. Using multithreading on top of that, sqlsus is an extremely fast database dumper, be it for inband or blind injection.If the privileges are high enough, sqlsus will be a great help for uploading a backdoor through the injection point, and takeover the web server.

It uses SQLite as a backend, for an easier use of what has been dumped, and integrates a lot of usual features (see below) such as cookie support, socks/http proxying, https..

What’s New

Starting with version 0.7, sqlsus now supports time-based blind injection and automatically detects web server / suhosin / etc.. length restrictions.

• Added time-based blind injection support (added option “blind_sleep”, and renamed “string_to_match” to “blind_string”).
• It is now possible to force sqlsus to exit when it’s hanging (i.e.: retrieving data), by hitting Ctrl-C more than twice.
• Rewrite of “autoconf max_sendable”, so that sqlsus will properly detect which length restriction applies (WEB server / layer above). (removed option “max_sendable”, added options “max_url_length” and “max_inj_length”)
• Uploading a file now sends it into chunks under the length restriction.
• sqlsus now saves variables after each command, so that forcing it to quit (or killing it) will not discard the changes that were made.
• Added a progress bar to inband mode, sqlsus now determines the number of rows to be returned prior to fetching them.
• get db (tables/columns) in inband mode now uses multithreading (like everything else).
• clone now uses count(*) if available (set by “get count” / “get db”), instead of using fetch-ahead.
• In blind mode, “start” will now test if things work the way they should, by injecting 2 queries : one true and one false.
• sqlsus now prints what configuration options are overridden (when a saved value differs from the configuration file).

GreenSQL is an Open Source database firewall used to protect databases from SQL injection attacks. GreenSQL works as a proxy for SQL commands and has built in support for MySQL & PostgreSQL . The logic is based on evaluation of SQL commands using a risk scoring matrix as well as blocking known db administrative commands (DROP, CREATE, etc). GreenSQL is distributed under the GPL license.

GreenSQL Architecture

GreenSQL works as a reverse proxy for MySQL connections. This means, that instead of connecting TO THE MySQL server, your applications will connect to THE GreenSQL server. GreenSQL will analyze SQL queries and then, if they’re safe, will forward them to the back-end MySQL server.

New Changes

In this version, GreenSQL provides native support for PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org) databases for the very first time. In fact, GreenSQL is the only database firewall (Open or Closed Source) available for the protection of the many PostgreSQL databases currently in use.

GreenSQL 1.2 merges the GreenSQL-Console package into the GreenSQL-FW. The GreenSQL-Console will no longer be released as a separated package. During the installation process, you will be able to choose whether or not to install the console.

You can download GreenSQL v1.2 here:

CORE GRASP for PHP is a web-application protection software aimed at detecting and blocking injection vulnerabilities and privacy violations.

As mentioned during its presentation at Black Hat USA 2007, GRASP is being released as open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

The present implementation protects PHP 5.2.3 against SQL-injection attacks for the MySQL engine, it can be installed with almost the same effort as the PHP engine, both in Unix and Windows systems, and protection is immediate with any PHP web application running in the protected server.

CORE GRASP works by enhancing the PHP execution engine (VM) to permit byte-level taint tracking and analysis for all the user-controlled or otherwise untrustable variables of the web application. Tainted bytes are then tracked and their taint marks propagated throughout the web application’s runtime.

Whenever the web application tries to interact with an DB backend using SQL statements that contain tainted bytes, GRASP analyzes the statment and detects and prevents attacks or abnormal
actions.

CORE GRASP was developed by CoreLabs, the research unit of Core Security Technologies. At CoreLabs, we plan to improve the tool and include new protections shortly. However, the invitation to collaborate with the project is open. If you would like to collaborate, please go to the GRASP website and subscribe to the mailing list.

The documentation for CORE GRASP is available here and you can download it here:
