SQL Injection Testing Tool Project

SQL injection is a critical security vulnerability that allows attackers to manipulate SQL queries to access or modify databases. SQL injection testing is essential for protecting sensitive data and preventing unauthorized access, and tools like sqlmap automate the detection of these vulnerabilities. A Bash script can be used to test a target website for SQL injection by prompting for a URL and payload, executing SQLMap, and reporting the results of the test.

WHAT IS SQL INJECTION?

A vulnerability that allows attackers to manipulate SQL queries to access or modify a


database

Importance of SQL Injection Testing


SQL injection is one of the most critical security threats in web applications.
Testing helps protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.

Purpose of SQL Injection Testing Tools


Automates the detection of SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Simplifies the process of identifying and exploiting weak points in web applications.
Enhances security by providing detailed insights into vulnerabilities
Tools:
sqlmap, one of the leading SQL injection testing tools.
Provides extensive capabilities for testing, exploiting, and patching SQL vulnerab
SQL Injection testing tool Script:-
Output:-
EXPLANATION OF THE SCRIPT:-
This is the shebang line. It tells the system to use the Bash shell interpreter to execute

This prompts the user to enter the target URL (the URL to be tested for SQL injection
This prompts the user to enter an SQL injection payload and stores the user’s input in

This prints the SQLMap command that will be executed, using the provided URL an
.

 This runs the actual SQLMap command:


• -u "$target_url": Specifies the target URL provided by the user
• technique=U: Tells SQLMap to use UNION-based SQL injection.
• --level=2: Increases the level of testing, meaning more
detailed testing will be performed.
• --risk=3: Specifies a high-risk level to use more intensive
and potentially dangerous tests.
• --data="$payload": Sends the SQL payload (input by the
user) as part of the HTTP request.
This conditional checks the exit status ($?) of the sqlmap command.
 If the exit status is 0, which indicates success, it prints "SQL
injection vulnerability detected!".
 Otherwise, it prints "No SQL injection vulnerability detected."
CONCLUSION:- This Bash script automates the process of testing
a target website for SQL injection vulnerabilities using the SQLMap tool.
It prompts the user to provide a target URL and an SQL payload, then
runs SQLMap with specific parameters to check for potential
vulnerabilities.
After the test, the script evaluates whether SQL injection was
successfully detected and informs the user of the result
