sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of
detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers.
It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate
penetration tester, and a broad range of switches including database
fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, accessing the underlying file
system, and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.

**The sqlmap project is currently searching for sponsor(s).**
