-sqlmap is an open source command-line automatic SQL injection tool developed
-in Python. Its goal is to detect and take advantage of SQL injection
-vulnerabilities on web applications. Once it detects one or more SQL
-injections on the target host, the user can choose among a variety of options
-to perform an extensive back-end database management system fingerprint,
-retrieve DBMS session user and database, enumerate users, password hashes,
-privileges, databases, dump entire or user's specific DBMS tables/columns, run
-his own SQL statement, read specific files on the file system and more.
+sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the
+process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over
+of database servers. It comes with a powerful detection engine, many
+niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of
+switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from
+the database, to accessing the underlying file system and executing
+commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections.
