# Pentesting MySQL (port 3306)
## When to Use
- Default port `3306/tcp`; `nmap`/banner shows `mysql`, `MariaDB`, or a greeting like `5.7.x`/`8.0.x`/`10.x-MariaDB`.
- MySQL is a **plain-text protocol** (unless TLS is forced), so native clients and NSE scripts interact directly.
- Use when you have network reach to the DB port, recovered creds to reuse, or local shell access to a host running `mysqld` (sockets, `debian.cnf`, `~/.my.cnf`).
## Quick Enumeration
```bash
# Version + default scripts (most need creds, but mysql-info/empty-password do not)
nmap -sV -p 3306 --script mysql-info,mysql-empty-password,mysql-enum,mysql-variables,mysql-databases,mysql-users,mysql-dump-hashes,mysql-vuln-cve2012-2122 <IP>
# Consoleless metasploit (version + auth-bypass hashdump)
msfconsole -q -x 'use auxiliary/scanner/mysql/mysql_version; set RHOSTS <IP>; run; exit'
