SQLRecon helps address the post-exploitation tooling gap by modernizing the approach red team operators can take when attacking SQL Servers. The tool was designed to be modular, allowing for ease of extensibility and contributions from the hacker community. SQLRecon is written in C# and is compatible stand-alone or within a diverse set of command and control (C2) frameworks (Cobalt Strike, Nighthawk, Mythic, PoshC2, Sliver, etc). When using the latter, SQLRecon can be executed either in-process, or through traditional fork and run. SQLRecon has over 50 modules which can help facilitate with enumeration, collection, code execution, privilege escalation and lateral movement. It has been designed with operational security and defense evasion in mind.
