In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker). [1][2] SQL injection must exploit a security vulnerability in an application's software, for example, when user ...
OWASP. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project [7] (OWASP) is an online community that produces freely available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the fields of IoT, system software and web application security. [8][9][10] The OWASP provides free and open resources.
Burp Suite is a proprietary software tool for security assessment and penetration testing of web applications. [1][2] It was initially developed in 2003-2006 by Dafydd Stuttard [3] to automate his own security testing needs, after realizing the capabilities of automatable web tools like Selenium. [4] Stuttard created the company PortSwigger to ...
DAST tools facilitate the automated review of a web application with the express purpose of discovering security vulnerabilities and are required to comply with various regulatory requirements. Web application scanners can look for a wide variety of vulnerabilities, such as input/output validation: (e.g. cross-site scripting and SQL injection ...
Nikto is a free software command-line vulnerability scanner that scans web servers for dangerous files or CGIs, outdated server software and other problems. It performs generic and server type specific checks. It also captures and prints any cookies received. The Nikto code itself is free software, but the data files it uses to drive the ...
Static application security testing (SAST) is used to secure software by reviewing the source code of the software to identify sources of vulnerabilities. Although the process of statically analyzing the source code has existed as long as computers have existed [clarification needed], the technique spread to security in the late 90s and the ...
Code injection is a class of computer security exploit in which vulnerable computer programs or system processes fail to correctly handle external data, such as user input, leading to the program misinterpreting the data as a command that should be executed. An attacker utilizing this method thereby "injects" code into the program while it is ...
sqlmap. sqlmap is a software utility for automated discovering of SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. [2][3]
