What is in the ebook
Getting Started
With general concepts out of the way, we get practical. In this section, we start by creating a home lab environment. Then, we download and install the latest version of sqlmap, followed by using sqlmap for the very first time.
Finding and exploiting SQL injections
After creating our lab environment and covering basics, we move on to finding and exploiting our first SQL injections using sqlmap and its powerful features. We enumerate vulnerable databases to find information about table names, schema, and more. Then, we extract user password hashes and, with the help of a built-in feature, crack those passwords.
