Features: Databases are the control centers of the economy. Your personal information is stored in databases—medical records, bank accounts, work history, pensions, car registrations, even your children's school information and the food you purchase. Database attacks are ruthless and merciless. This book is a premium follow-up to The Shellocoder's Handbook, where four top-tier security experts will guide you step-by-step on how to infiltrate and defend against seven of today's most popular database servers. It provides a detailed explanation of how to identify vulnerabilities, how attacks occur, and how to stop ruthless database attacks. "The bad guys" know all this, and you should too. The main content includes identifying and inserting new vulnerabilities into Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. Learn the best defenses for IBM DB2, PostgreSQL, Sybase ASE, and MySQL servers. Uncover how hackers exploit these methods to access databases: buffer overflow, privilege escalation through SQL, abuse of stored procedures or triggers, and SQL injection, among others. Identify the unique vulnerabilities of each database. Determine what the attackers already know.
