In this SQL Injection video, we delve into the world of SQL Injection attacks, one of the most prevalent threats to databases today. Join us as we explore the inner workings of this malicious technique and understand how hackers exploit vulnerabilities in web applications to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. With step-by-step examples and demonstrations, we provide comprehensive insights on the various types of SQL Injection attacks and their potential consequences. Moreover, we equip you with essential knowledge and countermeasures to safeguard your database against these attacks, ensuring the security of your valuable information. Don't let your data fall victim to SQL Injection—watch this video now!

What is SQL Injection?
How Does a SQL Injection Attack Work?
Detecting and Preventing SQL Injection Attacks
Real-Life Examples of SQL Injection Attacks
Types of SQL Injection Attacks
Impact of SQL Injection Attacks

2. What is SQL Injection?
SQL injection is a technique used by attackers to manipulate a
web application's database queries
By injecting malicious SQL code into input fields, attackers can
execute unauthorized commands and potentially gain access to
sensitive information

3. How Does a SQL Injection Attack Work?
Vulnerable Input Fields
SQL Queries
Database
SQL Queries

4. How Does a SQL Injection Attack Work?
Targeted Database
SQL Queries
OR 1=1
Attackers
SQL injection attacks can also be used to delete data, manipulate
records, or retrieve information from multiple database tables using
techniques like error-based injection, union-based attacks, or
inferential SQL injection

5. How Does a SQL Injection Attack Work?
Website SQL Database
SELECT * FROM products WHERE name LIKE '%entered_keyword%’;
' OR '1'='1’; --
SELECT * FROM products WHERE name LIKE '%' OR '1'='1'; --%';

6. Types of SQL Injection Attacks
In-band SQLi
Inferential SQLi
Or
Blind SQLi
Out-of-band SQLi
This type includes error-
based and union-based
attacks, where attackers
use the same channel to
launch an attack and collect
the results
This type involves sending
data payloads to the
database server to observe
its response without directly
seeing the results. It can be
either Boolean-based or
time-based
In cases where in-band
SQLi is not possible,
attackers leverage other
channels, such as DNS or
HTTP requests, to retrieve
data from the database

7. 01
Educate your IT teams, including developers and system
administrators, on SQL injection attack vectors and prevention
techniques
02
Validate and filter user input using an allowlist approach,
parameterized queries to separate SQL code from user input
03
Perform regular security scans to identify and address potential
vulnerabilities in web applications
Detecting and Preventing SQL Injection Attacks
04
Ensure that all software, including databases and programming
languages, are regularly updated to include the latest security
patches and protections against SQL injection
Train employees on
prevention methods
Implement input
validation and
parameterized
queries
Regular security
scans
Keep software up to
date

8. 01
In 2014, security researchers discovered a SQL injection
vulnerability on Tesla's website, which allowed attackers
to gain administrative privileges and access user data
02
In 2019, a SQL injection vulnerability was found in Fortnite
that could have enabled attackers to access user
accounts. The vulnerability was promptly patched
03
In 2018, a SQL injection vulnerability in Cisco Prime
License Manager granted attackers shell access to
computers with the installed license management system.
Cisco addressed the issue promptly

9. Impact of SQL Injection Attacks
Unauthorized access to sensitive information and resources
Potential data breaches and exposure of confidential data
Network infiltration and system compromise
Loss of customer trust and decreased revenue
Data manipulation or deletion
Reputational damage and long-term consequences for the business
