Specify parameters with SQLMAP

Question

I'm a student learning php & mysql development. i have setup a private lab ( VM ) inside my computer to test & learn how sql injection works. When things get harder i use sqlmap to exploit and later on study the requests it made to my test app using verbose mode & by capturing packets via wireshark. I came across a small problem and that's to specify the parameter in a URL to sqlmap to test.

http://localhost/vuln/test.php?feature=music&song=1

i want sqlmap to scan the parameter song so i tried these solutions

-u http://localhost/vuln/test.php?feature=music&song=1 --skip feature
-u http://localhost/vuln/test.php? --data="feature=music&song=1" -p song

Tried different variations by adding and removing quotes and equal signs , non worked. I even tried setting the --risk to --level to its maximum but it still fails to pick up the last parameter.

I will be very thankful if an expert can help me out with this. Thank you.

Answer 1

I noticed also that you can scan multiple parameters using this :

-u "http://localhost/vuln/test.php?feature=music&song=1" -p 'song,feature'

This will scan the song parameter, then the feature parameter. If sqlmap find a vulnerable parameter, it will ask you if you want to continue with the others.

Answer 2

the p option can be used in the following way

-u "http://localhost/vuln/test.php?feature=music&song=1" -p song

Answer 3

You can simply add * to your value of parameter which you want to scan. Did you try that one?

Answer 4

I have this problem too. I think sqlmap inject the first parameter. If you type :

-u http://localhost/vuln/test.php?feature=music&song=1

sqlmap will inject 'feature' parameter. To make it inject 'song' parameter you need to reorder the parameter as follows :

-u http://localhost/vuln/test.php?song=1&feature=music

Dont forget to add '&' between each parameter. It worked for me.

Answer 5

I have already triggered this type of problem. You can simply skip the 'feature' parameter. E.g -u http:// localhost/vuln/test.php?feature=music&song=1 --skip=feature and then certainly it will start testing the 'song' parameter.
