Web Vulnerability's: SQL Injection
This week we are going to look at SQL injection.
Injection based attacks come in at number one in the OWASP top 10. While injection covers a wide range of issues, SQL injection is one of the more common problems.
We will have a quick recap of SQL syntax, then look at how SQL injection attacks happen. We will then look at two practical aspects for SQL injection.
- First we will modify a query so we get positive result that can help us modify functionality
- We will then look at injecting elements into the query that allow us to get data from the database, and its associated tables.
