Scrawlr – Scanner for SQL Injection

Scrawlr is short for SQL Injector and Crawler, a tool developed by the HP Web Security Research Group in coordination with the Microsoft Security Response Center in response to the widespread SQL injection attacks on the web.

“Scrawlr will crawl a website while simultaneously analyzing the parameters of each individual web page for SQL Injection vulnerabilities. Scrawlr is lightning fast and uses our intelligent engine technology to dynamically craft SQL Injection attacks on the fly. It can even provide proof positive results by displaying the type of backend database in use and a list of available table names. There is no denying you have SQL Injection when I can show you table names!”

Key Features of Scrawlr include:

  • Identify Verbose SQL Injection vulnerabilities in URL parameters
  • Can be configured to use a Proxy to access the web site
  • Will identify the type of SQL server in use
  • Will extract table names (verbose only) to guarantee no false positives

Scrawlr which is a free tool has a few limitations which are it’s crawl only upto 1500 pages, doesn’t support Blind SQL injection and will not test for Post parameters for SQL injection. Overall even with these limitations, it’s still a useful tool to check your sites to see if you’re safe from SQL injections.

    We tested this tool against our servers with dotDefender, no attack could go through.
    The dotdefender is a great sql injection blocker tool. Sql Injection attacks are not the only attacks that it blocks, there are many more.
    You can check and download their product for 30 days evaluation. we tested it and very happy with the significantly decreased number of attacks on our production servers.
