A classification of SQL injection attacking vector as of 2010. 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).
Here, the code under attack is the code that is trying to check the parameter, the very code that might have been trying to validate the parameter to defend against an attack. [20] Any function that can be used to compose and run a shell command is a potential vehicle for launching a shell injection attack.
Identifying and acquiring resources for the attack. 8 Initial Access: Gaining initial access to a system or network. 10 Execution: Running malicious code on a system. 14 Persistence: Maintaining access to a system or network. 20 Privilege Escalation: Obtaining elevated privileges within a system or network. 14 Defense Evasion
Magic quotes were enabled by default in new installations of PHP 3 and 4, but could be disabled through the magic_quotes_gpc configuration directive. Since the operation of magic quotes was behind the scenes and not immediately obvious, developers may have been unaware of their existence and the potential problems that they could introduce.
The attacker can then perform the actual attack using the alert noise as cover. The tools 'stick' and 'snot' were designed for this purpose. They generate a large number of IDS alerts by sending attack signature across the network, but will not trigger alerts in IDS that maintain application protocol context.
SQL injection and similar attacks manipulate database queries to gain unauthorized access to data. [30] Command injection is a form of code injection where the attacker places the malware in data fields or processes. The attacker might be able to take over the entire server. [30]

These simulated attacks are designed to mimic real-world threats and techniques used by cybercriminals. The simulations test the organization's ability to detect, analyze, and respond to attacks. After running the simulations, BAS platforms generate reports that highlight areas where security controls failed to stop the simulated attacks. [1]
