sqlmap:tldr:a6f20

sqlmap: Provide user credentials for HTTP protocol authentication.
$ python sqlmap.py -u "${http:--www-target-com-vuln-php}" --auth-type ${Basic} --auth-cred "${testuser:testpass}"
try on your machine

This command is using the Python script sqlmap.py to run SQLMap, a popular SQL injection testing tool, with specified parameters. Let's break down the command:

  • python sqlmap.py: This executes the sqlmap.py Python script, which contains the SQLMap tool.

  • -u "${http:--www-target-com-vuln-php}": This specifies the target URL to be scanned for SQL injection vulnerabilities. The URL is enclosed in double quotes and assigned to the -u option. It seems like the URL is specified using a placeholder format, where ${http:--www-target-com-vuln-php} would be replaced with the actual target URL.

  • --auth-type ${Basic}: This specifies the type of authentication to use during the scanning process. The value ${Basic} indicates that Basic authentication will be used. Similar to the URL, the authentication type might also be replaced with the actual authentication method.

  • --auth-cred "${testuser:testpass}": This parameter provides the credentials for the authentication type specified earlier. The value ${testuser:testpass} represents the username and password for authentication. Again, this might be replaced with real credentials during execution.

In summary, this command executes SQLMap, targeting a specific URL for SQL injection vulnerabilities, with Basic authentication using the provided credentials. The placeholders (${...}) suggest that these values will be replaced with actual details during execution.
