This document discusses database security and SQL injection attacks. It begins by defining databases and how they are interacted with through queries, stored procedures, and integration with programming languages. It then explains different types of database attacks like SQL injection, privilege escalation, and denial of service. Specific examples of SQL injection are provided, demonstrating how injection can occur through input values, errors, and POST requests. Methods for detecting and preventing SQL injection are discussed, including input validation, prepared statements, and firewalls. Live examples of SQL injection vulnerabilities are also shown.
