SQL injection, also known as SQLI, is a common attack vector that uses malicious SQL code for backend database manipulation to access information that was not intended to be displayed. This information may include any number of items, including sensitive company data, user lists or private custom...
SQL Injection is performed with the SQL programming language. SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for managing the data held in the database. Therefore during this attack, this programming language code is being used as a malicious injection. This is one of the most popul...
This appeared to be an entirely custom application, and we had no prior knowledge of the application nor access to the source code: this was a "blind" attack. A bit of poking showed that this server ran Microsoft's IIS 6 along with ASP.NET, and this suggested that the database was Mi...
SQL injection is a type of cyberattack that lets a criminal execute their own SQL queries on a database.
source code: this was a "blind" attack. A bit of poking showed that this server ran Microsoft's IIS 6 along with ASP.NET, and this suggested that the database was Microsoft's SQL server: we believe that these techniques can apply to nearly any web application backed by any SQL server...
There was no WAF (Web Application Firewall) in place to detect the SQL Injection exploitation. A WAF could block the attack even if the application is vulnerable. There was noIntrusion Detectionor Intrusion Prevention system in place. Many such systems keep a database with hashes of all the...
First, we need to filter the logs to see if any actions were taken by the IP84.55.41.57. One of the logs was bombarded with records containing a lot of SQL commands that clearly indicate anSQL injectionattack on what seems to be a custom plugin that works with the SQL server. ...
Conditions of SQL Injection SQL Injection happens because of security vulnerabilities in the software used to create the web application. The web application which is not secure allows untrusted code to be entered into text fields which successfully executes untrusted SQL queries. In this case the er...
Cross site scripting (XSS) is a common attack vector that injects malicious code into a vulnerable web application. XSS differs from other web attack vectors (e.g., SQL injections), in that it does not directly target the application itself. Instead, the users of the web application are th...

Attack internal/external web applications using Injection attacks or CSRF. Access local files using file:// scheme. On Windows systems, file:// scheme and UNC path...
