What it does

sqlmap is an open-source penetration testing tool that automates detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over the databases behind them. Dual-licensed under GPLv2 and a commercial license.

Open-source automation for detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws — and taking over the databases behind them. A powerful detection engine paired with a deep arsenal for the serious penetration tester — from fingerprinting the backend to measuring real risk by exploiting what it finds. Two decades of real pentests and thousands of community bug reports across a vast range of technology stacks and edge cases have iteratively refined the detection engine to a high degree of accuracy. Boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query and stacked queries. Detection confirms the exact payload that exploits the flaw.

    Hey HN, I built ProductMap AI, a tool that automatically identifies features implemented in source code and organizes them in a visual hierarchy. The goal is to help developers quickly understand poorly documented codebases. Link: https://product-map.ai/ I’d love feedback from the HN community! Let me know what you think. Would this be useful for you?

    I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.
