The server I am pentesting has blind boolean SQL injection, so I was able to guess the DB name to be apps_community
.
But it detects words like "information_schema" and drops the connection request.
It also detected the method database()
but when introducing a space between ()
, like ( )
, the WAF no longer blocked me.
It also detects --
. Because of that I had to use #
for commenting the rest of the query.
I need to bypass this countermeasure to enumerate the tables.

Have you tried to see what kind of input the WAF is blocking?– FlorianJul 11, 2017 at 14:14

SQLMAP has a variety of tampering scripts ( /sqlmap/tamper/ ), see @Soufiane Tahiri's comment.– t.m.adamJul 11, 2017 at 16:38

It is impossible to answer your question, as you did not provide any additional details. There are known WAF bypass techniques, which work with certain firewalls. It also depends on the place in the query, where SQL injection occurs. Try to fingerprint your WAF.
Btw, the behavior you have described, looks like WAF reacts to the information_schema and other standard keywords in your request and drops the connection. What makes you think there is an actual SQL injection?
