Sqlmap v.0.9 - automatic SQL injection and database takeover tool !

Apr 11, 2011
Sqlmap v.0.9 - automatic SQL injection and database takeover tool ! sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a kick-ass detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections. Change Log : * Rewritten SQL injection detection engine (Bernardo and Miroslav). * Support to directly connect to the database without passing via a SQL injection, -d switch (Bernardo and Miroslav). * Added full support for both time-based blind SQL injection and error-based SQL injection techniques (Bernardo and Miroslav). * Implemented support for SQLite 2 and 3 (Bernardo and Miroslav). * Implemented support for Firebird (Bernardo...

Anonymous is staging a 24-hour, in-store boycott at Sony stores around world on Saturday, April 16. So far over 1,000 people have RSVP'd through Facebook. On Monday, Anonymous launched a DDoS attack on Sony that rendered the PlayStation Network (PSN) inaccessible for most of the day (while an Anonymous offshoot calling itself "SonyRecon" targeted individual Sony employees). But after consumers complained that the takedown was doing more harm than good to gamers, Anonymous reversed the hack and took down the Sony Careers page instead. Sony has remained...
