Soccer Machine HackTheBox SQL Injection

HackTheBox Soccer Machine - Dumping Databases with SQLMap.

The methodology involves first using wscat to test a WebSocket endpoint by sending payloads to observe how the server processes input, specifically testing for signs of SQL injection vulnerability (e.g., responses to queries like {"id": 1 OR 1=1-- -}). If the endpoint responds in a way that suggests it executes SQL queries, the next step is to automate enumeration and exploitation with sqlmap. By providing the WebSocket URL and crafting the injection point in the payload (e.g., {"id": "*"}), sqlmap can identify vulnerabilities, enumerate databases, and extract data efficiently. This approach combines manual probing for initial validation with automated tools for deeper exploitation.
