Problem with sqlmap after burp update to 2021.4.2

Shomi | Last updated: May 05, 2021 12:59PM UTC

Sqlmap can be run by giving --proxy https://127.0.0.1:8080 which will take alll its data through burp. However, after the recent update in burpsuite, while running sqlmap with burp proxy, getting error: [18:24:03] [INFO] testing connection to the target URL [18:24:05] [CRITICAL] unable to connect to the target URL or proxy. sqlmap is going to retry the request(s) [18:24:05] [WARNING] if the problem persists please check that the provided target URL is reachable. In case that it is, you can try to rerun with switch '--random-agent' [18:24:10] [CRITICAL] unable to connect to the target URL or proxy [*] ending @ 18:24:10 /2021-05-05/ This is happening even if getting proper response in burp. This issue however started due to burp update as I didn't do any update to sqlmap.

Thanks for your message. Do you see any messages in the Burp event log when the connection is attempted? Is there any difference in behavior if you go to Project Options -> HTTP -> HTTP/2 and uncheck the option for 'Enable HTTP/2'?

Thanks Michelle. This helps with the issue. SQLMap is able to pass traffic through burp without throwing an error after disabling HTTP/2.

I'm glad that helped. This is a known issue that we are currently working on. We've linked this thread so we can let you know when there is an update.

I just wanted to let you know that a fix for this issue was included in our 2021.6 Early Adopter release so you should not need to alter the default settings to connect to these sites. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hi Could you tell me the version of Burp that you are using? Could you also describe the issue you are facing, and if there are any error messages displaying, could you tell us what they are? If you'd like to drop us an email instead, our support contact is support@portswigger.net.

Hi The original issue reported in this thread has been resolved, so it would be good to find out more about what you are currently seeing. - Are any messages displayed in the Event Log on Burp's Dashboard when you try to connect? - Do you have this issue connecting to all sites or just a specific one? - Where did you change the HTTP/2 settings? Have you disabled it under Project Options -> HTTP -> HTTP/2 -> 'Default to HTTP/2 if the server supports it', Proxy -> Options -> Proxy Listener -> Edit -> HTTP -> 'Support HTTP/2' or both locations?

Hi Can you connect to your host using Burp's Repeater tool? You can copy the URL you want to access, then in Repeater, right-click and select "Paste URL as request" to quickly generate a request. Do you receive the correct response back, or do you still receive an error?

I am facing the same issue while using sqlmap, I have unchecked the option Setting -> Network -> HTTP -> HTTP/2 -> 'Default to HTTP/2 $ sqlmap -r sql.txt --batch --level 5 --risk 3 --dbs --proxy https://127.0.0.1:8181 --random-agent ___ __H__ ___ ___[)]_____ ___ ___ {1.8.3#pip} |_ -| .

Hi Does the same message occur when you run SQLMap directly from the command line? Do you receive any errors in your "Extensions > Installed > Errors" tab for this extension?
