A SQL injection attack is done by including portions ot SQL statements 111 a web
form entry field 111 an attempt to get the website to pass a newly formed rogue SQL
command to the database (e.g., dump the database contents to the attacker). SQL
injection is a code injection technique that exploits security vulnerability 111 a
website's software. The vulnerability happens when user input is either incorrectly
filtered for string literal escape characters embedded 111 SQL statements or user
input is not strongly typed and unexpectedly executed. SQL commands are thus
injected from the web form into die database of an application (like queries) to
change the database content or dump the database information like credit card or
passwords to die attacker. SQL injection is mosdy known as an attack vector for
websites but can be used to attack any type of SQL database.
As an expert e th ic a l h ack er, you must use diverse solutions, and prepare
statements with bind variables and wliitelisting input validation and escaping. Input
validation can be used to detect unauthorized input before it is passed to the SQL
query.

Lab Objectives
The objective of tins lab is to provide expert knowledge on SQL Injection
attacks and other responsibilities that include:

Today, SQL injection is one ot die most common and perilous attacks that website’s
software can experience. Tliis attack is performed on SQL databases that have weak
codes and tins vulnerability can be used by an attacker to execute database queries to
collect sensitive information, modify the database entries, or attach a malicious code
resulting 111 total compromise of the most sensitive data.
As an Expert p e n e tra tio n te s te r and se c u rity ad m in is tra to r, you need to test web
applications running 011 the M S SQL S e rv e r database for vulnerabilities and flaws.

Overview of SQL Injection Attacks
SQL injection is a basic attack used eidier to gain u n au th o rized a c c e s s to a
database or to re trie v e information directly from die database. It is a fla w m w e b
a p p lic a tio n s and not a database or web server issue. Most programmers are still not
aware of diis direat.

Lab Tasks
is used when a web application is v u ln e ra b le to SQL
injection but the results of the injection are n o t v is ib le to die attacker.

Lab Scenario
By now, you are familiar with the types of SQL injection attacks an attacker can
perform and the impact caused due to these attacks. Attackers can use the
following types of SQL injection attacks: authentication bypass, information
disclosure, compromised data integrity, compromised availability of data, and
remote code execution, which allows them to spoof identity, damage existing
data, execute system-level commands to cause denial of service of the
application, etc.
In the previous lab you learned to test SQL injection attacks on MS SQL
database for website vulnerabilities.
As an expert s e c u rity p ro fe s s io n a l and p e n e tra tio n t e s t e r of an organization,
your job responsibility is to test the company’s web applications and web
seivices for vulnerabilities. You need to find various ways to extend security
tests and analyze web applications, and employ multiple testing techniques.
Moving further, in this lab you will learn to test for SQL injection attacks using
IBM Security AppScan tool.

Lab Scenario
A deeper understanding of detecting SQL injection attacks using the IBM
Security AppScan too was examined 111 the previous lab. 111 this lab we will have
a look at a real case scenario where SQL injection attacks were implemented to
steal confidential information from banks.
Albert Gonzalez, an indicted hacker, stole 130 million credit and debit cards,
the biggest identity theft case ever prosecuted in the United States. He used
SQL injection attacks to install sniffer software on the companies' servers to
intercept credit card data as it was being processed.
He was charged for many different cases
utilized were:

111

which the methods of hacking

■ Stmctured Query Language (“SQL”) was a computer programming
language designed to retrieve and manage data on computer databases.
■ “SQL Injection Attacks” were methods of hacking into and gaining
unauthorized access to computers connected to the Internet.
■ “SQL Injection Strings” were a series of instructions to computers used
by hackers 111 furtherance of SQL Injection Attacks.
■ “Malware” was malicious computer software programmed to, among
other diings, identity, store, and export information on computers that
were hacked, including information such as credit and debit card
numbers and corresponding personal identification information of
cardholders (“Card Data”), as well as to evade detection by anti-virus
programs running on those computers.
As an expert s e c u rity p ro fe s s io n a l and p e n e tra tio n t e s t e r you should have a
complete understanding of SQL injection attack scenarios and list high=risk



components and note entry points to start testing and exploring. Hence, as
another aspect 111 SQL Injection testing, in tins lab you will be guided to test for
SQL injection using the WebCruiser Tool.

Lab Scenario

dGeWorkbook review
Qf

111 the previous lab you examined how to use the Webcruiser tool to scan a
website as well as POC (Proof O f Concept) for web vulnerabilities: SQL
injection.

Few attackers perform SQL injection attacks based on an “error message”
received from the server. If an error is responded from the application, the
attacker can determine the entire structure of the database, and read any value
that can be read by the account the ASP application is using to connect to the
SQL Server. However, 11 an error message is returned from the database server
complaining that the SQL Query’s syntax is incorrect, an attacker tries all
possible True and False questions through SQL statements to steal data.

to maintain a number of
