basic usage:

connecting:

mysql -h 10.0.2.11 -u qdpmadmin --database=qdpm --ssl=0 -p'UcVQCMQk2STVeS6J'

check user and host:

SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user;

getting the version:

select version();

see databases:

show databases;

use a database:

use databaseName;

see tables:

show tables;

see table structure (columns. values arent included):

describe tableName;
  • or
show columns from tableName;

see columns + their content:

select * from tableName;

see specific columns:

select column1,column2 from tableName;

see all mysql users:

select user, host from mysql.user;

make a new db:

create database DBname;

make a new mysql user:

create user 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'password';

give a user privilages:

grant all privileges on DBname.* to 'username'@'localhost';
flush privileges;

yeet a db:

drop database dbName;

yeet a user:

drop user 'username'@'localhost';

simple query:

select * from tableName where columnName='value';

update data:

update tableName set columnName='newValue' where id=1;

yeet data:

delete from tableName where id=1;

get out of weird -> prompt:

  • type in ; and hit enter
  • or type in \c and hit enter to cancel without running garbage

exit is just exit :v

cred hunting:

LIKE (fuzzy/partial match):

select * from users where username like '%bob%';
  • % is the wildcard operator in mysql

NOT LIKE:

select * from users where username not like '%admin%';

OR:

select * from users where username='bob' or username='alice';

IN (same as OR just cleaner):

select * from users where username in ('bob', 'alice', 'charlie');

ORDER BY (sort results):

select * from users order by id desc;
  • desc = decending
  • asc = ascending

LIMIT:

select * from users limit 5;
  • good for huge tables
  • sets how many rows to return
  • doing LIMIT 1,1 would mean it would skip the first row and show 1 row out of the rest of the rows after the skipped one

BETWEEN:

select * from users where id between 1 and 5;

shenanigans:

nuke a table with sqli if the app allows multiple statements:

'; DROP table users; --
