Havij: Automated SQL Injection

Because I’m running low on time today, I thought I’d just directly quote what’s already been written about this application, Havij. Thanks to Darknet for the following:

Havij is an automated SQL Injection tool that helps penetration testers to find and exploit SQL Injection vulnerabilities on a web page.

It can take advantage of a vulnerable web application. By using this software user can perform back-end database fingerprint, retrieve DBMS users and password hashes, dump tables and columns, fetching data from the database, running SQL statements and even accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system.

The power of Havij that makes it different from similar tools is its injection methods. The success rate is more than 95% at injection vulnerable targets using Havij.

The user friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) of Havij and automated settings and detections makes it easy to use for everyone even amateur users.

Check your system for vulnerabilities using CVEChecker

The goal of cvechecker is to report about possible vulnerabilities on your system, by scanning the installed software and matching the results with the CVE database. Indeed, this is not a bullet-proof method and you will most likely have many false positives (vulnerability is fixed with a revision-release, but the tool isn’t able to detect the revision itself), yet it is still better than nothing, especially if you are running a distribution with little security coverage.

Still, the tool remains useful. With the proper reporting in place, you are immediately warned when a new CVE has been released that might match your system. You can then take the appropriate steps (acknowledge report, verify incident, fix package or mark as false positive).

The tool however needs your help as well. The most work is to tell cvechecker how to detect which software is installed and what version. For more information, see the cvechecker man-page.

Install required packages:

Code:

root@coresec:~# apt-get install libconfig8-dev libsqlite3-dev libxslt1-dev

Compilation Process:

root@coresec:~# tar -zxvf cvechecker-3.1.tar.gz
root@coresec:~# cd cvechecker-3.1/
root@coresec:~/cvechecker-3.1# ./configure --enable-sqlite3
root@coresec:~/cvechecker-3.1# make
root@coresec:~/cvechecker-3.1# make install

Initialize SQLite3 Database:

Code:

root@coresec:~/cvechecker-3.1# cvechecker -i

To pull the necessary data from the Internet:

Code:

I am missing the index cveidx2. This is to be expected if this is the first run of cvechecker since an upgrade.
I will now create cveidx2 for you, no further actions are needed.
Some updates have occurred which might affect the database initialization.
Please restart the command.
