SQL Injection - Forms and Validity

Forms and Validity

SQL injection attack (SQLIA) is considered one of the top 10 web application vulnerabilities of 2007 and 2010 by the Open Web Application Security Project. The attacking vector contains five main sub-classes depending on the technical aspects of the attack's deployment:

  • Classic SQLIA
  • Inference SQL injection
  • Interacting with SQL injection
  • Database management system-specific SQLIA
  • Compounded SQLIA


  • SQL injection + insufficient authentication
  • SQL injection + DDoS attacks
  • SQL injection + DNS hijacking
  • SQL injection +XSS

A complete overview of the SQL Injection classification is presented in the next figure. The Storm Worm is one representation of Compounded SQLIA.

This classification represents the state of SQLIA, respecting its evolution until 2010—further refinement is underway.

Famous quotes containing the words forms and, forms and/or validity:

    This is a catastrophic universe, always; and subject to sudden reversals, upheavals, changes, cataclysms, with joy never anything but the song of substance under pressure forced into new forms and shapes.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    The atmosphere of orthodoxy is always damaging to prose, and above all it is completely ruinous to the novel, the most anarchical of all forms of literature.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Once one is caught up into the material world not one person in ten thousand finds the time to form literary taste, to examine the validity of philosophic concepts for himself, or to form what, for lack of a better phrase, I might call the wise and tragic sense of life.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
