[sqlmap-users] --keep-alive

[Miroslav S. <mir...@gm...>]

Hi.

Currently as a part of development process we've added support for
Keep-alive sessions (using "slightly adjusted version" of Keepalive
module from Michael D. Stenner's urlgrabber project -
http://linux.duke.edu/urlgrabber/), which by first results gave great
results (in some cases up to 2.5x times faster scanning, particularly
in multi threading mode).

Right now that option is hidden behind --keep-alive switch (not
visible in help menu) and we would like you to test it thoroughly
before we turn it on as a default part of sqlmap. We just want to be
sure that everything works as expected (only a bit faster :).

Also, in case that you are doing a session behind a proxy (explicitly
by --proxy or implicitly by a system set one) keep alive is
automatically turned off because, as result of Bernardo's research:
"Use Keep-Alive (persistent HTTP connection) only if a proxy is not
set - http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html".

So, please checkout sqlmap's latest version from it's repository and
please report any "inconveniences" you find.

Kind regards.
