[sqlmap-users] Is xp_cmdshell actived? Why it isn't working?

[Rodrigo Z. S. <rod...@gm...>]

Hi. I am doing a pen test in the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and I can see
that the xp_cmdshell is active.

IN the table *master.sys.configurations*, the column *value_in_use *show it
is 1, so it is active!! But, every command that I tried to use didn't
result any value. I just tried the most obvious:

DECLARE @result int; EXEC @result = xp_cmdshell 'echo a'; IF (@result = 0)
WAITFOR DELAY '00:01:00' ELSE WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05'

But it just waint 5 second. Any idea why this happens?
