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).
The tool was used in the 2015 data breach of TalkTalk. [4] In 2016, the Illinois Board of Election was breached using the tool, combined with Acunetix and DirBuster . [ 5 ]
The vulnerability could "allow a remote user to execute SQL injection attacks". [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The flaw affected all versions of the software up to 0.7.1. The Beehive Forum team responded very rapidly with a fix released, in the form of version 0.8 of the software, later that day.
The attack specifically targeted Yahoo Voice, formerly known as Associated Content, which Yahoo had acquired in May 2010 for $100 million (£64.5 million). Using SQL injection techniques, the hackers were able to extract the data from Yahoo's servers and subsequently post the compromised information publicly online. [1] [2] [3] [4]
In the field of software, SQL programming tools provide platforms for database administrators (DBAs) and application developers to perform daily tasks efficiently and accurately. Database administrators and application developers often face constantly changing environments which they rarely completely control.
SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd [12] in the early 1970s. [13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San ...
Major DBMSs, including SQLite, [5] MySQL, [6] Oracle, [7] IBM Db2, [8] Microsoft SQL Server [9] and PostgreSQL [10] support prepared statements. Prepared statements are normally executed through a non-SQL binary protocol for efficiency and protection from SQL injection, but with some DBMSs such as MySQL prepared statements are also available using a SQL syntax for debugging purposes.
The Asprox botnet (discovered around 2008), also known by its aliases Badsrc and Aseljo, is a botnet mostly involved in phishing scams and performing SQL injections into websites to spread malware. [1] It is a highly infectious malware which spreads through an email or through a clone website.
