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).
Injection exploits are computer exploits that use some input or data entry feature to introduce some kind of data or code that subverts the intended operation of the system. Usually these exploits exploit vulnerabilities resulting from insufficient data validation on input and so forth.
Code injection is the malicious injection or introduction of code into an application. Some web servers have a guestbook script, which accepts small messages from users and typically receives messages such as: Very nice site! However, a malicious person may know of a code injection vulnerability in the guestbook and enter a message such as:
sqlmap is a software utility for automated discovering of SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. [2] [3] Usage
Attack tree for computer viruses. Here we assume a system such as Windows NT, where not all users have full system access.All child nodes operate on OR conditions. Attack trees are multi-leveled diagrams consisting of one root, leaves, and children.
A chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) is an attack model for cryptanalysis which presumes that the attacker can obtain the ciphertexts for arbitrary plaintexts. [1] The goal of the attack is to gain information that reduces the security of the encryption scheme.
LDAP injection occurs when user input is not properly sanitized and then used as part of a dynamically generated LDAP filter. This results in potential manipulation of the LDAP statements performed on the LDAP server to either view, modify, or bypass authentication credentials.
A computer network diagram of clients communicating with a server via the Internet. The client–server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients. [1]
