We Are The Best Tool For Web Application Security (Discovering The Infamous Sql-injection Technique)

Today I am proudly sharing an article made by Mr. Rafael Souza one of the great admirer and fan of VOGH has gladly shared his brilliant research paper on SQL-Injection (MySql) with us. Rafael is a very passionate on cyber security domain and he is keenly involved with GreyHat Community and Maintainer design of Brazilian Backtrack Team. So without wasting time lets go and see what Rafael has for us:-

Discover The Infamous MySQL Injection Technique

ABSTRACT:

It is known that computers and software are developed and designed by humans, human error is a reflection of a mental response to a particular activity. Did you know that numerous inventions and discoveries are due to misconceptions?

There are levels of human performance based on the behavior of mental response , explaining in a more comprehensive, we humans tend to err , and due to this reason we are the largest tool to find these errors , even pos software for analysis and farredura vulnerabilities were unimproved by us.

Understand the technique MySQL Injection:

One of the best known techniques of fraud by web developers is the SQL Injection. It is the manipulation of a SQL statement using the variables who make up the parameters received by a server-side script, is a type of security threat that takes advantage of flaws in systems that interact with databases via SQL. SQL injection occurs when the attacker can insert a series of SQL statements within a query (query) by manipulating the input data for an application.

Readers, this article is for educational purposes only, could continue explaining how to exploit web sites, but that is not my intention.

It is known that the impact of the change may provide unauthorized access to a restricted area, being imperceptible to the eye of an inexperienced developer, it may also allow the deletion of a table, compromising the entire application, among other features. So I want to emphasize that this paper is for security researcher and developers to beware and test your code.

CONCLUSION

Many companies are providing important information on its website and database, information is the most valuable asset is intangible, the question is how developers are dealing with this huge responsibility?

The challenge is to develop increasingly innovative sites, coupled with mechanisms that will provide security to users.

The purpose of this paper is to present what is SQL Injection, how applications are explored and techniques for testing by allowing the developer to customize a system more robust and understand the vulnerability.
