Module 15. SQL Injection

SQL injection CEH V12 Ilabs walkthrough

SQL injection is the most common and devastating attack that attackers can use to take control of data-driven web applications and websites. It is a code injection technique that exploits a security vulnerability in a website or application’s software. SQL injection attacks use a series of malicious SQL (Structured Query Language) queries or statements to directly manipulate any type of SQL database. Applications often use SQL statements to authenticate users, validate roles and access levels, store, obtain information for the application and user, and link to other data sources. SQL injection attacks work when applications do not properly validate input before passing it to a SQL statement.
