SQLMap Tamper Options
Understanding Tamper Scripts
Tamper scripts in SQLMap are used to modify payloads before they are sent to the target. These scripts can help bypass various types of WAF (Web Application Firewall) protections, input validation, and other security measures. By using tamper scripts, you can increase the chances of successfully detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Important Note
While tamper scripts can be effective in bypassing certain protections, they may also affect the accuracy of SQLMap's detection and exploitation capabilities. Always use them responsibly and only on systems you have permission to test.
Tamper Script Information
Using Tamper Scripts
To use a tamper script with SQLMap, add the --tamper option followed by the name of the script. You can chain multiple tamper scripts by separating them with commas. For example:
sqlmap -u "http://example.com" --tamper=apostrophemask,between,charencode
When chaining multiple tamper scripts, the order matters. The scripts are applied in the order they are specified.
Best Practices
- Start with a single tamper script and gradually add more if needed.
- Test the effectiveness of each tamper script individually before chaining them.
- Be aware that some tamper scripts may conflict with each other or reduce the overall effectiveness.
- Always verify the results manually to ensure the accuracy of SQLMap's findings when using tamper scripts.
