## What it is
Ghauri is a cross-platform Python CLI tool that automates detection and exploitation of SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. It supports boolean, error, time-based, and stacked-query injection techniques against MySQL, MSSQL, Postgres, Oracle, and Access, across GET/POST, headers, cookies, JSON, and SOAP/XML inputs.

## Use cases
- detect sql injection vulnerabilities in a web app
- automate sql injection testing like sqlmap
- extract database data via blind sql injection
- test json and soap endpoints for sqli
- inject payloads via http headers and cookies
- resume an interrupted sql injection session

## When to choose
- you need a modern, actively maintained sqlmap alternative
- you need JSON, SOAP/XML, or multipart form injection support
- you want proxy support and resumable extraction phases

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based vulnerability scanner
- you need broad DBMS coverage beyond the supported engines
- you need general web vulnerability scanning beyond SQLi
