Curl → Sqlmap: small helper website for SQLi testing
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/1qq2bnt/curl_sqlmap_small_helper_website_for_sqli_testing/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi r/Pentesting (https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting)! I built a small web tool that converts curl commands into ready-to-run sqlmap commands. You paste a curl request (headers, cookies, body), toggle a few common options, and instantly get the equivalent sqlmap invocation. It’s meant purely as a convenience tool to speed up the jump from manual testing to sqlmap - nothing fancy. https://mihneamanolache.github.io/curl-to-sqlmap/ <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/AdCautious4331 (https://www.reddit.com/user/AdCautious4331)
