Re: Blind SQL Injection Techniques

Hello,
 
Usually, when it's a blind SQL injection, as described, no information can easily be retrieved, if at all.
A few days ago, I had the same problem, so I used the sp_rename stored procedure to rename random table names 
(dictionnary names like user, content, produt, etc...) ... and it worked for a few...
When it worked, the website  generated a lot of errors since part of the content was broken.  
By using the same sp, I could rename the table back to its original name.
 
What I got from it where a few table names, some FS paths...

Subject: Blind SQL Injection Techniques 


Hi All, 

I am testing a client at the moment who has a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability and am running out of techniques, so 
need some tips. 

I injected the following string to validate that the system has an MSSQL server at the back-end. 

or 1=1;select * from sysobjects;-- 

This returned a valid page. 

Also injected the following and got a valid page, but again no data since it is completely blind. 

or 1=1;select @@version;-- 

Replacing sysobjects, in the first example, with an invalid table returns a custom error page that doesn't disclose 
anything. 

It seems that when injecting any invalid sql statement I get the same custom error page coming back that doesn't reveal 
any information. 

My next step was to determine whether the DB was running as system. I tried using the following command; 

or 1=1;if (select user) = 'sa' waitfor delay '0:0:5';-- 

... but got the error page, indicating that it didn't work - especially since it didn't take 5 seconds. I then tried 
simplifying it to just; 

waitfor delay '0:0:5';-- 

... but again, the error page, indicating this command was not working. I thought it was the quotes but the following 
were successful; 

or 1=1;select * from 'sysobjects';-- 
or 1=1;select * from "sysobjects";-- 

I then tried the following to see if I could actually run system commands; 

or 1=1;exec master..xp_cmdshell dir;-- 

... but this got the error page again indicating unsuccessful. 

Any suggestions on gaining further information or access on this system would be appreciated. 

Thanks, 
One2
