Overview
sqlmap fingerprints the backend DBMS, extracts data column by column, and in aggressive modes attempts file read, write and operating-system shell execution.\nAny parameter you suspect of injection is better tested with sqlmap than by hand, because it enumerates the injection type and adapts.\nOnly ever point it at systems you are authorised to test.
Indicators of Compromise
Signals that suggest this is present on a system.
- Boolean or time-based conditional responses
- Bench or SLEEP payloads in query strings
- Systematic union-select probing in access logs
