Fingerprinting MySQL

Determine version locally / with access

select version();

or

mysql -V

Determine version remotely

nmap -sV -p 3306 addressOfMachine

or

nc -w 1 addressOfMachine 3306

With netcat you may see weird output, example is below

nc -w 1 192.168.1.1 3306
4
4.1.20�{
jWU$PHXc,fV[J=3'hW]NL

In this case the version is 4.1.20, so you’ll have to read through the mess that is netcat output.
