The tester inputs the target website URL containing a parameter (e.g., http://example.com ).

Its GUI allows newcomers to visualize how SQL injection payload generation works before advancing to more robust tools like sqlmap. Preventing SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Despite its historical popularity, Havij 1

Havij works by sending a series of crafted HTTP requests to a target URL. It analyzes the server's responses to detect "blind" or "visible" errors that indicate a vulnerability. Once a "hole" is found, Havij uses specific SQL syntax to trick the database into revealing information it shouldn't, such as usernames, passwords, or configuration data.
