sqlmap: Select a random `User-Agent` from `./txt/user-agents.txt` and use it.
$ python sqlmap.py -u "${http:--www-target-com-vuln-php}" --random-agent
try on your machine

This command is using the tool SQLmap in Python to scan a vulnerable PHP website for SQL injection vulnerabilities. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • python: This is the command to run the Python interpreter.
  • sqlmap.py: This is the name of the Python script, in this case, the SQLmap tool.
  • -u: This option specifies the target URL to assess its vulnerability.
  • "${http:--www-target-com-vuln-php}": This is the target URL which most likely represents a PHP page vulnerable to SQL injection. The URL has been defined using a placeholder (${}) which suggests it would be replaced with the actual URL.
  • --random-agent: This is an option instructing SQLmap to use a random user agent for each HTTP request it sends during the scanning process. It helps hide the identity of the scanning tool.

Overall, this command runs SQLmap with the specified options to scan the given URL for SQL injection vulnerabilities, making it more difficult to detect the scanning activity.
