Why each option
DataThief is a specialized tool that automates SQL injection attacks and can leverage out-of-band techniques to exfiltrate data by forcing the target database to connect to an attacker-controlled server.
DataThief automates SQL injection exploitation and includes functionality to force a vulnerable web application's back-end database to initiate outbound connections to a database server under the attacker's control. This out-of-band exfiltration technique allows data extraction even when direct query results are not visible. It is specifically designed for the injection-and-extraction workflow described in the question.
NetCat is a general-purpose network utility for creating TCP/UDP connections and is not designed to automate SQL injection or database exploitation.
Cain and Abel is a Windows-based password recovery and sniffing tool, not a SQL injection automation framework.
SQLInjector is not a recognized, widely documented SQL injection automation tool comparable to DataThief in the context of this question.
