Study Notes
- Database security has not kept pace with increased reliance on databases.
- SQL Injection Attacks (SQLi) are prevalent and dangerous network-based security threats.
- SQLi sends malicious SQL commands to the database server.
- The most common attack goal is bulk extraction of data.
- SQLi can also be exploited to modify or delete data, execute arbitrary operating system commands, and launch denial-of-service attacks.
- SQLi attacks exploit a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application.
- The injection technique works by prematurely terminating a text string and appending a new command.
- Attackers inject SQL commands through user input, server variables, second-order injection, cookies, and physical user input.
- Attack types can be grouped into three main categories: Inband, Inferential, Out-of-band.
- Effective database security requires a strategy based on a full understanding of the security vulnerabilities of SQL.
