Re: [sqlmap-users] --os-pwn was down last couple of days

[Bernardo D. A. G. <ber...@gm...>]

Hi,

As of r3768 UPX is not part of sqlmap anymore and the --os-pwn switch
has been slightly revamped. As per commit message:

"""
[...] Now the Metasploit shellcode can not be run as a Metasploit
generated payload stager anymore. Instead it can be run on the target
system either via sys_bineval() (as it was before, anti-forensics
mode, all the same) or via shellcodeexec executable. Advantages are
that:
* It is stealthier as the shellcode itself does not touch the
filesystem, it's an argument passed to shellcodeexec at runtime.
* shellcodeexec is not (yet) recognized as malicious by any (Avast
excluded) AV product.
* shellcodeexec binary size is significantly smaller than a Metasploit
payload stager (even when packed with UPX).
* UPX now is not needed anymore, so sqlmap package is also way smaller
and less likely to be detected itself as malicious by your AV
software.
[...]
"""

Cheers,
Bernardo
