* Full support for *MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase and SAP MaxDB* database management systems.

* Full support for six SQL injection techniques: *boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query, stacked queries and out-of-band*.

* Support to *directly connect to the database* without passing via a SQL injection, by providing DBMS credentials, IP address, port and database name.

* Support to enumerate *database users, users' password hashes, users' privileges, users' roles, databases, tables and columns*.

* Automatic recognition of password hashes format and support to *crack them with a dictionary-based attack*.

* Support to *dump database tables* entirely, a range of entries or specific columns as per user's choice. The user can also choose to dump only a range of characters from each column's entry.

* Support to *search for specific database names, specific tables across all databases or specific columns across all databases' tables*. This is useful, for instance, to identify tables containing custom application credentials where relevant columns' names contain string like name and pass.

* Support to *download and upload any file* from the database server underlying file system when the database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

* Support to *execute arbitrary commands and retrieve their standard output* on the database server underlying operating system when the database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

* Support to *establish an out-of-band stateful TCP connection between the attacker machine and the database server* underlying operating system. This channel can be an interactive command prompt, a Meterpreter session or a graphical user interface (VNC) session as per user's choice.

* Support for *database process' user privilege escalation* via Metasploit's Meterpreter `getsystem` command.
