SequelEyes – Your SQL Server Security Testing Toolkit

🚀 Excited to release SequelEyes – Your SQL Server Security Testing Toolkit! 🛡️

A defender’s Swiss Army knife for SQL Server security testing and validation. The original projects were in my /notes repo, but now have grown complex enough for their own project!

✅ Zero-touch SQL Server + IIS deployment

🔍 Built-in security test queries for common misconfigurations

💉 SQL injection and xp_cmdshell testing capabilities

🎯 Perfect for Defenders, Detection Engineers, and Security Researchers

📦 Get it here: SequelEyes Toolkit

Practice-Verified Codes and Commands

1. Zero-Touch SQL Server Deployment

<h1>PowerShell script for automated SQL Server deployment</h1>

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server, Web-Asp-Net45, NET-Framework-45-Features
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://example.com/sqlserver-installer.exe" -OutFile "C:\sqlserver-installer.exe"
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\sqlserver-installer.exe" -ArgumentList "/quiet /install" -Wait

2. SQL Injection Testing

-- Example SQL query to test for SQL injection vulnerabilities
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = 'admin' AND Password = 'password' OR '1'='1';

3. xp_cmdshell Testing

-- Enable xp_cmdshell for testing
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1;
RECONFIGURE;

-- Execute a command using xp_cmdshell
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'whoami';

4. Security Misconfiguration Checks

-- Check for weak SQL Server configurations
SELECT name, value_in_use
FROM sys.configurations
WHERE name IN ('cross db ownership chaining', 'clr enabled', 'xp_cmdshell');

What Undercode Say

SequelEyes is a groundbreaking toolkit for SQL Server security testing, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for defenders, detection engineers, and security researchers. The ability to deploy SQL Server and IIS with zero-touch automation streamlines the setup process, while built-in security test queries help identify common misconfigurations. The inclusion of SQL injection and xp_cmdshell testing capabilities ensures that vulnerabilities are detected and mitigated proactively.

For those working in cybersecurity, mastering SQL Server security is essential. Commands like `xp_cmdshell` and SQL injection testing queries are critical for understanding attack vectors and hardening systems. Additionally, PowerShell scripts for automated deployments can save time and reduce human error.

To further enhance your skills, explore tools like Atomic Red Team for adversary emulation and LOLDrivers for understanding malicious drivers. Combining these resources with SequelEyes will provide a robust foundation for securing SQL Server environments.

Remember, cybersecurity is an ongoing process. Regularly update your knowledge and tools to stay ahead of emerging threats. Practice commands like `EXEC sp_configure` and `SELECT` queries to ensure your systems are secure. Always validate your configurations and test for vulnerabilities before deploying to production.
