SQL Injection Practical Tutorial
Complete Exploitation and Prevention Guide for Ethical Hackers
Introduction to SQL Injection
SQL Injection (SQLi) is a code injection technique that exploits security vulnerabilities in database layer applications. It occurs when user input is incorrectly filtered or not strongly typed. SQLi remains one of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and can lead to data theft, authentication bypass, and server compromise.
Types of SQL Injection
Types include: In-Band SQLi (union-based and error-based), Blind SQLi (boolean-based and time-based), and Out-of-Band SQLi. Each type exploits different database behaviors to extract data or bypass authentication.
Prevention Techniques
Use parameterized queries/prepared statements, employ stored procedures, use ORM frameworks with proper escaping, implement input validation, and apply principle of least privilege for database users.
