A classification of SQL injection attacking vector as of 2010. In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker).
An SQL injection takes advantage of SQL syntax to inject malicious commands that can read or modify a database or compromise the meaning of the original query. [13] For example, consider a web page that has two text fields which allow users to enter a username and a password.
An example of this in an Integer Overflow attack would be that the integer-based input field is not checking size of the value of the incoming data to ensure that the target variable is capable of managing the incoming value. This is the vulnerability that the associated exploit will take advantage of in order to carry out the attack.
Cyberattack Protection: SQL injection is a type of attack used to exploit bad coding practices in applications that use relational databases. The attacker uses the application to send a SQL statement that is composed from an application statement concatenated with an additional statement that the attacker introduces. [3]
The attack was carried out using SQL injection. [3] In September 2016, hacker Daniel Kelley was charged with blackmail, computer hacking, and fraud in connection with the TalkTalk data breach and various other attacks. [4] He pleaded guilty to 11 of the offences later that year. He was sentenced to 4 years jail time in 2019. [5]
Although the process of statically analyzing the source code has existed as long as computers have existed [clarification needed], the technique spread to security in the late 90s and the first public discussion of SQL injection in 1998 when Web applications integrated new technologies like JavaScript and Flash.
