SQL injection in the news again

Posted by strom on May 7, 2008

It amazes me (almost) to see the latest news of thousands of Web sites that have been compromised with one of the oldest tricks in the book: SQL Injection. It is almost ridiculously easy to find sites that can be exploited. Michael Sutton of SPIdynamics/HP tells you how he came across more than 80 of them in a small sample by writing some quick code using Google’s APIs here.

I wrote a paper several years ago for Breach Security about the subject that is still relevant. You can register and download it here.
